$11.70 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (6th out of 86 Players)

I was very please with my playing performance until I made it to the final table in this double shootout. Once at the final table I couldn't put any two cards together, I swear. Luckily I made the money but would have much more wanted to win the entry to tomorrow's million guarantee.

Umm, ya, I rarely go out first in any tournament but when I do I refuse to comment other than I had a hand, and so did the other player who called me down and I lost, period!

$3.30 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (4th out of 216 Players)

Again I played like a rock and made the moves when I needed to. This was a 6-player triple shootout tournament. When I made it to the final table I was chip leader before I caught As that were eaten by some dudes straight on the river. I have been doing really well in these shootout tournaments aside from my being the bubble boy twice today. Top 3 players in both gained entry into Sunday's $1,000,000 guarantee so I'm a little bummed. However, making such a large return on my little investment was nice...

No comment. Thought this was a $50 buy-in tournament. I got frustrated and went all-in right off the bat, lol.

This was brutal. I played this double shootout tournament and faught my way down to the final 6 players. I then went cold and made a move before the blinds ate me alive. Oops, it didn't work!

Played great until the last 3 rounds I was in where I went card dead. Oh well, it's nice to have a little green on the boards!

$4.40 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (20th out of 180 Players)

Stupid! In my big blind I have A6c. Flop comes rag of diamonds Q9 of clubs. Guy checks so I bet big (1/5th my stack) and he insta-calls. This gets me thinking he's on a straight draw... Turn comes a rag of diamonds and I check (mistake 1). He bets out and goes all-in for $5,600, which covers me. I think for a bit knowing that my A high is probably good at this point but also know he's on a straight draw. I make the call and the river brings a J off and sure enough he hit his straight on the river and I was out.
 
Looking back at it now the safe play with an average chip stack would have been to make a smaller bet off the flop to see where he was at. Another move for me would to have placed a continuation bet on the turn instead of donking my check to him. With 20 players left I should have been more cautious but made an attempt to improve my position as the blinds were getting to high to wait around; however, I proved to be too cautious!!!.
