Hi all,

Summary:  my  game  NOW playing  LAG on 4 tables of $50  nl  on STARS, my 32th day, currently down 46.7 buyins,  BR $ -340.

Local St. Petersburg, Florida chick of the day photo . .

Well I chilled out for a bit then the bug gets a hold of me and I think, lose it today, lose it tomorrow, no difference, so I loaded up 4 tables and on my second hand I ran into this GEM . .

88  v  AQ  flop, turn, river  Qc 6c 8c Qs 9h . .. and the guy happilly called of his whole stack . . http://www.pokerhand.org/?2011891

Things chill and drift down for a while then . .

97s button  v  A4 and 3 others call std raise . .flop, turn, river . . Js 3h 2h 2s 2h . . one minbets and A4 hits his wheel but has very low stack . . . http://www.pokerhand.org/?2011916

Things tread water for quite a while then . .

KK v KJ . . . I raise from middle position . . Jh Qd 6d . . my EV 0.88 and he also gets married to second pair and pretty much stacks himself off . .   http://www.pokerhand.org/?2011968

The a while later another guy gets married to second pair

KTs  V  AQ . . . this guy floats out of position cause its cheap looking for something and he gets it . . http://www.pokerhand.org/?2011998

Then a half stack gets stuck with the classic invisiblle trips . .

44  V   AQ   http://www.pokerhand.org/?2012019

A while later I make a big laydown with AA . . .  http://www.pokerhand.org/?2012029

And therby recover and get ONE buying . . . .

Yesterday was another standard grueling tournament day.  I managed to book second in the 2nd chance for 40k which felt really nice.  I was crushing my opponent HU and felt like I had a huge chance of winning.  I had a 2-1 chip lead at one point before I bluffed off a stack.  Then 2 hands later I found myself allin with bottom 2 on a 3flush to the made flush.  Oh well it was only another 15k, but I really wanted the prestige of the win.  This is my 3rd big online score in the last 2 months and I am feeling more to come.  

This is a link to my 3 handed to HU play.  I'm not sure if you guys can see it so please let me know if only I'm allowed to view it.  You have to be logged into CR to view it, that much I know.

I am also going to post this small sample of hands in the tourny forum to get some advice.  There are only a few interesting hands.  Mainly the Red one near the end where I bluff with AQ is prolly the most interesting.  I think it was a good play, but I'm not sure.

Anyways, at the same time of final tabling my event, my friend Justin won the Daily Eighty Grand Sunday Special for 27k.  This is awesome for him as he needs a score like this to jump start him into full time online poker.  Hopefully he will quit his $15/hr job now and realize he can make alot more doing what he does best.  My friend Nick point out that every Sunday since PCA we have been able to watch me or one of my friends final table a major online tournament.  I'm not all to surprised, but it is awesome to think that my "crew" is destroying cash and tournaments, kinda making good $$$ under the radar (without sponsorship or too much notice).

I also liked InternetPokers post about poker, although I personally didn't find it to be new material I think it was something that needed to be said to alot of low-midstakes grinders.

LAPC is coming up soon.  I will be there for a decent amount of time but I have classes on Fridays  so I will be going back and forth between LA and SD.  That's it for now.

 This should help me come out of my downswing.  I played pretty solid and just ran really well at the right times.  We discussed a deal, which I would have been down for because everyone at the final four were all really solid pros.

Here is the bustout hand:
