I didn't want to post until I made it in the money this time. Top 216 get paid out so hopefully this tournament goes a little bit better than the last one. It's the 2nd break with 226 players left in the tournament, and chip average is at 10,075 right now. Currently I'm at 9,798 in chips and blinds just passed me. After the break blinds will be at 250/500 with an Ante: 50. I'm 95th in chips right now. Took the chip lead early on with 27k in chips but then after losing 7k of it with J 10 when flop came 8 9 10. against 9 9. Then take another 6k hit with J K against 9 9. Where I had top 2 and he hit his set. Then lost another 4k pot when I had top pair and guy rivered a straight.

Got knocked out at 45th place with A 10 suited. beat by K Q suited, when a K hit on the river.

Sick!!!
This was super sick turn card for me.
Flop comes 8 5 4 (all diamonds), top player bets 120 chips, the other player calls, then I call trying to pair up.
Turn gives me quad 8's now, and thinking I have the best hand most likely. The guy bets 240 chips this time. The other guy calls and I just call too thinking to trap on the river.
River comes a diamond, now the guy bets 240 again, and the other guy calls. I re-raise just double, and the guy 3 bets it. The other guy calls and I push all my chips in. The guy calls immediately and the other guy calls as well.
My quad 8's lose to his straight flush.
Also was playing 3 other sng's as well as these ones at the time.
Lost one in 6th with A A vs 8 6 suited. I raise pre-flop to 140 chips, get a call. Flop comes 5 5 7. I bet 240 chips. He re-raises to 480. I think for awhile and push. He calls. Of course a river 9.
Then lost another tournament in 6th. I raised pre-flop with A J suited to 140 chips. I get a call. Flop comes A 9 4. I bet 240 he calls. Turn comes 8. I raise to 540. He calls. River 10. I push. He calls with 9 10, rivering me with 2 pair. Sick call down to the river.
At least made the money in the 4th one, which came down to the wire, where we were almost even in chips. I raise with 7 7. He re-raises. I push. He calls with A 10. Of course the A hits on the flop.
Played like 12 sng's today and up only $8.00. Pretty sad. Also won a $6+$0.50 satellite, and got a $24 token, and playing in the 13.5K guarantee. Hopefully that goes well. I'll update a little later about that.
Fantasy Week 1: So my team got spanked this week in Fantasy Basketball. I lost 1-7-1, only winning in points. Tied assists. Lost in TO's by 1. Lost in FG% thanks to Paul Pierce. I was hoping I could win those, and end up only losing 4-5, but nope worst case scenario happened and I got straight up whooped.
Also dropped Ben Wallace for the Big Z, since Ben Wallace has been trash.

Full Tilt Poker
Welcome back online poker! Today decided to ask my good friend Harry to vouch me $20.00 to play on Full Tilt Poker. Usually online poker has helped me out when I needed money, and here it is for me again!
Played a $5.00 sit-n-go and ended up getting 2nd place, which gave me like another $5.00. After decided to play a $5.00 2 table sit-n-go and ended up getting 6th and not in the money after having a huge chip lead and just throwing it away.
After that I decided to play a $10+$1 tournament. It started off with 170 players and I ended up making another final table and made around $67.00. Not bad! Decided to pay Harry back for the voucher, and now just have to play conservative and try to make something out of the $50 some bucks in my account.
