Sunday Results and Upcoming Week

I've been hangin out with my friends Tom and James a lot lately because its winter break and during school I'll be focusing on that. Sunday was a minor success in that I only lost $2. I made several deep runs including both 100rs, the million (which was actually 2.5 mill), and the 500 (which i seem to go deep in every week). Nothing really panned out though so I'm left with my happiness that i didn't lose more.
This upcoming week should be a pretty boring one. Thayer is leaving the house so I'll be here with my little brother and parents til Sunday when I leave for PCA. I plan on playing tonight and tomorrow than taking the week off until Saturday. My flight is Sunday morning and maybe I'll play what I can on Sunday maybe not. I'm really lookin forward to PCA should be an awesome trip than it's back to school which will be the end of an era (or @ least the world I'm living in now which is worry free).

Easy Game

Well I said I was gonna finish a big tourney well and I did. Tonight looked like it was gonna be the same thing as I went deep in 3 of the 4 tournies I played. I played the 100r, UB 1k, 300, and UB sniper. I built a pretty large chip lead in the 100r and also built nice stacks in the sniper and 300. I ended up losing a huge pot to my brother in the 300 and busting out relatively early. Thayer ended up final tabling the 300 and is currently 5 handed.
In the 1k i sort of just cruised along til about 3 and a half hours in when I got 35th losing a flip (i think). Than in the 100r I had the cl and went really carddead with 2 tables left and ended up getting 12th shoving Q9 into A8 bvb for 11 bb and losing.
The sniper was my last tournament of the night and I built an enormous chip lead on the final table bubble running insanely hot sucking out multible times. I almost got the chop of the century 5 handed almost getting rewarded almost 1st place $$ (16k when 1st was 20k). I ultimately got 2nd getting it in with KJ v AJ in a pretty standard spot. 2nd paid 12k so im very happy as i had been in a bit of a rut. Hope everyone has a merry christmas/happy holidays

Rough Tuesday

I only played 3 tournies last night and all got a really good start. The 1k on stars was my first bustout with 75 left. I was short and shoved 57cc from the HJ with 10 bbs and ran into QQ to get 75th. Simultaneously I was doing really well in the 100r and $150 both on stars. With 11 left in the 100r I was 2nd in chips when this happened:

really frustrating way to end that tourney as that would have given me a huge chip lead but instead don't even final table. Also annoying because of how awful that is by the villain. I than built a chip lead in the $150 with 50 left. I started to get short and ended up shoving J7ss with 10 bbs and 12 left and ran into AJ. I feel like i played and ran really well for the most part. Just wish I could finish it off and get a good score. I well eventually, just gotta stay patient.

Liveaments IMO

So hung out with Nathan and played live with some of his neighbors. Turned out to be a 17 person $50 rebuy. Structure was horrible and somehow the players were worse. I didn't really get anything going had to fold aces to Nathan on the river with like 1/3 of my stack in. Anyway ended up busting like 2 hands post rebuy period shoving A10s on the cutoff with like 8 bbs (structure again was awful) and button tanked than told me "my hand isn't good i just wanna gamble" and flipped over JJ. Nathan bubbled making a pretty questionable shove but whatever was a lot of fun and I spent most of the night talking with an old good friend so overall was a good night.

Shaun Fucking Deeb

After getting shit on all morning by Shaun I played today from 1-3. Didn't really get anything going though. I made it to the ante stage in 1 tourney (100r) and ended up getting slowrolled out of that. Spent the rest of the day with Thayer watchin Lost so overall been a good day. Tomorrow's Sunday so hope that goes well.

Saturday Morning

Haven't played @ all this week. Visited my friend Trent's place and we had a good time. Like 2 months ago I won a satellite to PCA to play the $10k and Trent will be making the trip with me. Should be fun. I won't be playing today but will be playing most stuff tomorrow. Later

Lame

Played 2 tournies tonight the 100 fo i got it in with AJo v 710 on a A107 board (after he limp called my 5x with 25 bbs) in the first hr and he held. The 100r i was chip leader after the break and ran pretty well. Once it got to about 36 people i got really carddead and just continued to fold over and over again. I jammed 14 bbs utg 7 handed with 99 and than the next hand this happened to get 28th:

Sunday Bloody Sunday!

So I didn't go to sleep last night and that's not smart before a Sunday. I started off well building stacks in the 100r and Warmup but neither amounted to anything. I decided @ like 4 to unreg from everything and so i had 0 cashes in like 4 or 5 tournies. One of my good friends Nathan is still in the Warmup so I'll send out a shoutout if he makes some noise

Welcome!

Seeing as how poker is a huge part of my life these days I've decided to start writing. I'm feeling pretty bored with life not really satisfied and want to do more. I'll mainly be discussing poker involving myself and those I'm closest to but I'll have random posts about things I'm interested and things in my life (family, sports, school). If you have any suggestions feel free to comment. I doubt many people will read this but for those who do I hope you enjoy reading about my hopeful rise to huge success. Until than let us gogogo!
