$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 179 Players)

playin absolutely terrible...i don't know why i can't control it i am makin a bad decision in every damn pot...not happy
 
first break...don't know howmuch longer i will last i have 1200 and i will have 10x the bb in a in but i am not playin good and at this point i am frustrated about that and would rather just go to bed.
 
ok i am playin a little better now and was fortunate to find a few good hands (amazing how those can go together)...i am up to 9k with 250-500 blinds...24 ppl left 18 get paid.
 
19 left...longest online bubble i have ever seen...there finally...30 mins of play on the bubble...just lost my AJ to a 75 short stack but it crippled me...9/16...8/13...6/9...4/7...4/4...3/3...ahh lost a race on the river just so that it was a lil painful.

$1 Buy-In Razz Tournament (413th out of 442 Players)

WOW, i guess i should play this more often i have never seen ppl have less of a clue about a game...i def do not claim to be a razz expert by any stretch but this was nuts...plus the fact that i started with A234 only to go JJQ against two guys showing a K9 and a Q8 each...whatever

October 29, 2007, 6PM: Made $20.00 at The Michigan Union
No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 27 Players)

I finally took one of these down this week and I am in first in the points now which awards $50 at the end of the year.  I am going to count this as a $20 dollar win even though it is "$20 Food Money to the Union" because I spend money there everyday anyways so it will save me a real $20.  I might have done this wrong but i dont really care.

$1 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (569th out of 1199 Players)

lol...AK v AQ...i lose again in this spot...this is like 6 hands in a row...it wouldn't be as bad if it was 6 tournaments in a row and it each one just ended with a hand like this but its the first time i play a hand like this 6 times in a row...its gotta end soon and then i am going to win a tourney again!

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (42nd out of 232 Players)

I have no idea if i will do well in this tourny...its 50 mins in and i still have my starting stack but I am super focused and am paying as close attention to everyone at the table as i ever have...just gotta root for some solid luck and i will win this thing.
 
First break.  I am down 5 chips to 1495 from the start lol.  Have a good read on most of the table and feel good just need a hand or two to get some chips and then their in trouble.
 
Coolered...then when i was down to 1.5x the bb cuz of that hand they add insult to injury dealin me AA...i doubled but then lost the next hand.
 
Played almost perfect i think...i took a lot of bad beats last night but didn't play really great either...this tourney i really feel i played as good as i can...was super card dead but still had a chance to turn my short stack into an avg stack as we approached the money but got cold-decked.  i'm gonna break through soon
