$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

$1 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (371st out of 824 Players)

super small field for The Ferguson.  I doubled early so we'll see if i can keep it goin.
 
Picked a spot to gamble where there was a lot of dead money in the pot and i was pretty sure it was a race so i called and lost the race...completely fine with this play and would make it again in that situation...owell

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (106th out of 278 Players)

ugh...I call a small raise in position with KQ spades...flop comes KQ6 and he continuation bets 300, and i reraise to 1700 all in...he snap-calls with the AT and it comes T, A, and I am gone...its frustrating but i gotta keep remembering this is the kind of play that is gonna allow me to win one of these soon.
