$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (27th out of 139 Players)

woooow...i made a move preflop with 11x the BB with K7clubs and end up getting reraised and then called by someone else also...i rivered a gut shot! one time! now i gotta play good and make it worth it.
 
break 1: 2700...great compared to where i was before sucking out but still got lots of work to do.

$1 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (439th out of 941 Players)

I'm not sure there is anything that puts me on tilt like ppl that min raise...especially when there are like 5 limps and the the BB doubles it...its so sick and it pisses me off...anyways...
 
Dude was literally going all in every hand for about 15 straight hands...I had KJ and called from the BB because I figure to have an edge here and I am willing to take any edge and that dead money is only gonna be around for a few more mins most likey....he had 96 and he won...no worries

$1 Buy-In HORSE Tournament (101st out of 561 Players)

Think i am playing ok for horse and probably almost for sure better than everyone at the table with the exception of maybe one player but i can't get my big hands to hold up....and the nut low counterfeited in a huge pot and ended up losing a little there.....missed in razz with A235...and lost a pot with AA in holdem...i guess i should be glad i am still in but i don't even really know how to evaluate how i am playing cuz i am just not very good at these games.
 
 
3-outted...i'm starting to get sick now

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (55th out of 141 Players)

Wow.  I limp on the button after about 3 limps in front of me with KQ.  Flop comes 9TJ two spades.  SB bets min and they ALL call and I decided to raise a little to juice the pot before shoving if the turn comes a blank.  They all call and the turn comes an offsuit 7...best card in the deck i just gotta hope someone has an 8.  SB leads out, I shove he calls with 89 spades and I can't fade a spade...when he called i had to wait for the others to fold before seeing his hand but its sick how sure i was that he had 8x of spades and that the spade would hit.  oh well two tourneys tonight where i played well but just ran into the nuts

$1 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (301st out of 874 Players)

first break.  grinded for almost the whole first hour with just my starting stack but then won a decent pot to get to 2600.  long ways to go but i feel good.
 
great.  KK on button and i raise standard.  both blinds call.  QT4 check check, i bet 3/4 and the BB shoves, i call and he has J9 and got there.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (100th out of 255 Players)

blindin off like the nit that i am...need to get a hand someday...32 hands...saw 1 flop (from the SB)
 
First break...raised two hands and took them both down pre and those were the only hands i have played the whole first hour along with one limp from SB...needa double.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (11th out of 272 Players)

played TT bad to give away some chips already...2nd break i have 7k with 250-500 blinds and am sittin about middle of the pack...lets hope i can make a move over the next 20-30 mins to get a stack i can top 5 with.
 
3/17 to go I just busted my friend from my dorm with AA v JJ....5/14....card dead 7/11
 
wow guy played a hand a verrry weird way...i raised from MP with 66 and the guy to my left called and the BB called...flop was 743 and BB checked...i bet 3/4 the pot and the guy to my left folded but the BB called...i put him on a flush draw.  turn was a Q that missed the draw and he checked again with 35 in the pot and 17 in my stack i stuck it in and he called with TT...have no idea why he wouldnt reraise me at any point on preflop or on the flop if he was planning on calling my all in...unless he had a great read on me that was a terrible play...as far as how i played the hand: i coulda limped or folded preflop but the table was pretty tight and i think in that situation a raise was best...on the flop i think my c-bet was correct but i guess i shoulda shut down on the turn leaving myself enough chips to make the final table if he does move on me on the river...
 
don't really know what to think about this one other than i think he played his hand bad but i am pissed for missing this FT thats for sure
