Hey guys!

Well I'm actually sick as hell over here. I pretty much slept all day on and off. It was even my brother's birthday today and I had to miss it because I didn't want to get anyone sick.

At around 5:30pm I was super bored and we don't have TV so I popped some DayQuil and decided to just take it easy and play a couple tournaments while laying down in my bed. The tournaments I registered for were a $30rebuy, a 5k guar PLO, a 28k guar and the 30k guar 6max all on Full Tilt. I had 3 tables going at the most but mostly only 2. I learned a ton tonight about my game. Playing less tables is really really helpfull for me in so many ways. I focus more, I get such better reads and when these things are happening it makes my confidence high. Tournament players are so bad especially in these low stakes ones that I've been playing lately and it's SO much easier to see when you are watching every hand that goes down.

Anyhow I ended up getting 14th in the $30 rebuy which was total robbery because I ran so bad at the end. There was a 4 way all in pot where I had AA and didn't hold up against 1010, KK or 99. I trapped the 1010 dude so good too. He raised with a bunch of short stacks behind, I flatted, the KK dude shipped, the 99 dude shipped in BB, then the 1010 dude reshipped for 38ish BB and obviously I was stoked and called. That was pretty crushing then my AK lost a decent portion of my stack against KJ, then I lost a flip and then I was out. :(

But the good news is I did get 2nd in the 30k guarantee for $4650. I felt like I played really well in this tournament. There was one hand at the final table that I felt I misplayed a little. I'll post it and see what people think. It was HU for awhile and I ended up splitting a pot when I got it in with 1010 vs. A10s. Then at the end the player shoved into me with Q10off and my A9 didn't hold. I have a ton of hands to go over. I'm really pumped to go over this one specifically.

Awwww I am so happy even though physically I feel like shit. Now I have at least a little money to play with and can pay a few bills! YES YES YES!!!

Ok I just took some NyQuil so I'm about to pass out. :)

Love! Love!
