$55 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (5th out of 20 Players)

I played so well tonight made some great reads some great bluffs and got luck with some huge hand when others had second best. I built up a big chip lead early played aggressive and went to the final table 2nd in chips. then this hand happens
 
I am in the SB with QQ blinds are 200/400 and we are 30 seconds away from our first break. We are 6 handed and UTG calls 400 next guy raises to 800 I of course go all in. I really believed if he had a better hand he would have gone all in or raised more. I believe he wants to see a flop but for cheap.
 
Anyway everyone else folds and pre flop raiser calls. Rolls over 78S against my QQ.
 
Yippee I am ready to bust him out and take his chippies.
 
Flop 3 J Q (1 spade, you now can see where this is going)
Turn 10S
River don't even remember the number but of course it is a spade and he beats my set with and 8 high flush.
 
I really could only laugh at this point because I will take that call everyday especially with that flop.
 
Take our break come back short stacked and pick up AK UTG. blinds are now 500/1000 and It is either this hand or my BB
So I roll with AK and get called by 99 no A or K and I am toast.
 
I guess I cant win em 2 nights in a row and I have to share lol

$55 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 30 Players)

So i have played this tourney on monday nights 3 times and have won or chopped 1st and 2nd 3 times I hope to keep playing it and keep doing the same thing lol. It is actually a really bad structure for a tourney and kind of a crap shoot but I have been able to pick up an extra
 4-500 for the last 3 weeks in it so I guess I cant complain to much. I will do this on the next blog with my bad beat story

$230 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (90th out of 100 Players)

Wow this was a wild ride for 30 minutes 3 people at my table were knocked out early on. It was very weird play people limping with AA and KK in the same hand then others calling raises with k2 off. Anyway, I pick up 66 raise to 150 in MP (blinds 25/50) one guy smooth calls flop is Q high I chek he bets 100 I decided to peel on off thinking he may be on a flush draw. 8 on the turn check check I catch my 6 on the river and we both end up all in he has QQ for top set. I should have check raised the flop and see where I was at my mistake....

$55 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 20 Players)

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not a complete donk, I played well did not get sucked out on where I could not recoup, was able to get a big chip lead early on and ended up chopping 1 and 2 with another guy at the table. It feels really good to log a win.....
