$20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (15th Place)

Bounced around the lead for awhile, but got opportunity dry near the bubble. Just made it in to 15th. No big errors here, but decided my A7os was good enough to make a stand. It wasn't.

$4 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st Place)

This one was a lot more succesfull! I was on the brink a couple of times and doubled up using the live cards strategy, where I was an underdog, but strategically chose the K9 and QJ to go all in figuring I had live cards. Both times worked! Made a steady crawl back for the short stack to chip leader to short on the final table. When I got there I treated just like a new sit and go, carefully picking my spots. Got heads up with a newbie. I was about 50g to his 220g!! Turned it around slowly as I watched his game unfold like a book. Took it down after a couple of times when he tricked himself into walking into a couple of big hands of mine.
 
Here now the Stars account at a somewhat healthy $372.61

$42 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (150th out of 1564 Players)

Got a little short stacked when the blinds got huge, so had to go Kill Phil style and got busted with a weaker hand of a big stack.

$5 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 10 Players)

Table captain from first 10 minutes. Stars account now at $222.81. When I get to $250 - $275, I will start looking to move up a level there, but won't hesitate to go back down if the bankroll drops.
