$10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (125th out of 519 Players)

$2 bounty for KO
 
Short most of the tourney.  Played smart until a battle of the blinds.  Me K3, flop TTK.  I bet half and he calls, should have been a big red flashing "I HAVE A TEN" to me.  But of course I don't listen.  I could make excuses, but the truth is I got stubborn when he pushed on the river. I even made a blind size bet on the turn to make sure the sign was still lit.  Sometimes I am an idiot.

Very happy with this.  I had already typed in a loss after suffering a beat that short stacked me. But while typing I decided to see if I could grind out a $ finish.  I was as patient as I could be in a turbo tourney.  Finally caught a hand after grinding my way back to respectability that made me chip leader with 4 left.  Got heads-up a 2 to 1 chip dog, but he played weak and I was able to pick up pots with raises and bets.  After getting up 3 to 1, I decided to gamble with him pre and caught a full house on the flop.

Free-Roll Pot-Limit Omaha Tournament (541st out of 2400 Players)

Played well, but decided to gamble to put myself in position to make money.  Was in top 180, but only top 27 got paid.

$0.10 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

After being stupid the first hand, I settled in and just played good starting hands. It helps if I am multi-tabling or doing something else. I don't get bored and start to play stupid.

Played well and had a decent chip stack in the money but lost a critical hand with KK. I bb, utg goes all in for a bit more than the blinds. sb goes all-in for 2/3 of my stack.  He has AJ and flops 2 jacks.  Not much I can do. By this time the blinds and antes are high so I decide that my first decent hand after the next money level, I would push.  A6h and getcalled by AK. I don't improve and am done.
