Tournament session!

Sick downswing. Sick life tilt. Mad multitabling online tournaments tonight in hopes of building up. My goal is to record every major hand. I guess I might as well make a run at the tournament leader board. I'm the scourge of the $4 180 mans baby - the guy who has a 40% ROI at SNGS. I am ready to rock.

I'm in rock mode. Suited connectors, small pairs early on... mostly any unpaired hand looks like garbage to me. I don't really care about difficult situations. I want to crush these idiots with aces. I want to make a dozen final tables tonight. I'm in four tourneys right now. A $4, a $20, and two $12 turbos. Here's the first hand I play.

Pretty lame I know, but I feel I played it well. Note board puts four to a straight flush out there.

Then I get AQ and fold because someone raises. Seven tourneys now. Eight. I son'r flop a set with 99. I neglect to call a raise preflop with 55 because of squeeze danger. It didn't get squeezed but I would have missed. And I fold, and I fold.

Here's a pretty donk hand.

What a bunch of retards.

12 tourneys right now. I take a short stack on. I have AK. He has K10. He wins. I lose 88 vs A10 and A10 vs AK. I lose 10's to 10j when he counterfeits me (all in pf). Sick session so far. Gotta register for some more tournies! Lose AA vs KQs (he flops a sick draw but it was raised reraised pot).

lol... so this is how I win tournaments, now I remember :

I manage a couple solid doubles with AK and AA. Win a big pot in razz. Double through AQ with 99 on a 777 flop.

It's a few hours later. A few bust outs, a few big hands. I'm 3rd out of 8th at a final table. Just lost with K77 on 877 board. Got it in vs A7. Tiny pot too. Could have pot controlled? But it's just a cooler imo.
