$1 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (37th out of 369 Players)

$1+...I am in for $3.
 
2nd break and i have 10k with the blinds to be about 200-400.  I have lost big pots with KK, AK, and AK again over the last hour so I am glad to be back to 10k but I need to keep accumulating to have a shot at the final table.
 
AA twice in the last orbit and couldn't get any action :(.....Make that 3 times...without action on these hands I got really short and got it in with T9spades and lost.  Pretty happy with my play but action on all of my AA's coulda made for a big score

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (38th out of 168 Players)

playin good tonight actually but ran KK into AA and AA lost to TT after getting it all in he flopped a set.  I only have 1500 in this tourney at the break but its not hopeless.  I'm really in need of a top 6 finish I just haven't been getting there lately and am considering taking a break for a few days just to make sure i am fresh and definitely playing well.
 
Just runnin into the nuts every single pot I play lately.

$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.
