I started real well but the temptation to play a big pot when my hands were drying up got the better of me.
I had 4kish and took a decision to gamble with a wrap against a set even with scary 2flush on board. My read was right and I was well live but I didn't hit. The fact that supper was ready and that I could eat without a laptop was a big part of my decision given that the break was a minute away.
Either way this event does not have deep enough stacks for my move ever be a blowup.

Thinking I was playing this for the novelty and that my fatigue would soon get the better of me could not have been more wrong.
Not only do I think this is an amazing tournament format but I even found myself fresh and eager at 2.45am.
Despite coming 290th out of 1128 with 168 getting paid I still exited with a smile on my face and mainly dissapointed I wasn't playing anymore because I was having so much fun.
The reason why the format is so good is that everyone knows their stregnths and weaknesses and so no one player can just run things over without splashing his stack around or just running like God.
Given that I rarely made a hand the whole tournaments and that I was forced to play some big NLHE and PLO rounds I can at least give myself credit for playing a solid game.
I only really want to touch on one hand which is my exit hand in RAZZ (pictured below).
Just it was a sick beat in that on 5th street the Villain had to catch runner runner on me. He improved to a 8-7 low on 6th but i now had 4 of his outs to in my hand leaing him with just 8 cards!! sure enough he did indeed spike a 5 and correctly bet it and i was left with just 600.
Hey....at least i got my money in real good. I think if i 3bet preflop he may fold when that Jack hits on 5th street because he can give me credit for a near lock. Or maybe he is just a tard.
So to sumarise my series so far I have cashed just once busted early twice in PLO and 5 Card Draw and finished just outside the money in this one, the 10k and Limit Holdem.
I'm not exstatic about this record but I am happy with the way I have played and the form I am showing and so I want to continue this momentum into my remaining 12+ events.
I think the good news is that the smaller events are out the way and that the bigger prizepools are nearer the end of the championship so the big money is still to play for. I'm only one event a day till fiday so good rest inbetween.....bullddOOZer ONne TIMMMmme!
