$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.

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

New knockout tourney on full tilt...every player you bust you get .50 on top of the prize pool.
 
Got up to 9k early but then ran into a couple of shitty spots to finish the first hour with 6,500.  i am in like 60th of 330...90 pay.  i have two knockouts so far so i am only in for 2.30 as of now.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (8th out of 235 Players)

first break...i just won a big hand to get to 5k....9/24...4/18...5/14....4/9...ah disapointing finish for sure...had a lot of chips and played a interesting pot with AQ hearts...one early limper and i made it 3.5x to go and he called...flop was JT8 and he bet half the pot...i think i could have or maybe should have gotten away or raised but i just called and the turn was an A...he checked i bet half the pot and he pushed...now i thought he had AJ but since i was double gutted i decided to call and i was drawing to a chop when he showed kq...owell i thought i played well despite maybe that last hand.
 
on a side note: i finish 8 outta 235 and make 6x the buy in...that seems pretty terrible to me, wish it was a tiny bit flatter but once again...o-well.
