Tonight the night???

We'll see....

This is getting old....

Another Sunday qualifier this past Sunday, qualified again in a 9 person Sat Sunday morning. It was the first sat I played for the Sunday and ended up winning it. Well I learned a lesson; don't play when you've had too much to drink! Had a big party that Sunday and ended having a few too many Corona's. I played ok, but ended busting early when I made some silly mistakes. That was a good $26 lesson; at least it didn't cost me $200...

On to this week. Haven’t played at all this week and decided to play a little last night... I got into an $8 token sat (18 players put up $8 and they give the top 5 players a $26 token). I do pretty well in these and ended up picking up a token. I jumped right into a $26 token sat (18 players put up $26 or a $26 token and the top 5 players get a $75 token) and I was a bust, went out 9th. I then noticed a 9 person single table sat filling up for the Sunday WSOP tourney. I couldn't resist.

I was running well and with about 4 left my buddy Shoe sent me an IM. He was like "Hello, why you playing, were going to be at the beach all day Sunday??? You're going to be in no shape to play Sunday night!!" Ooooppps! I got heads up with the guy and at that point I had a 2 to 1 chip lead. I decided to make a deal for the seat. I asked him if he wanted the seat and he was like "Hell Ya!" I then asked what he wanted to give me for it; he said he would give my buy-in back. I said I was thinking more like $75, a fair offer. He declined and I ended busting him on the very next hand when he raised it up pre-flop with AK. I called and flopped a pair of Js. He ended up pushing, I called and that was that.

I guess I'll be taking it easy at the beach on Sunday or at least making sure I'm in better shape than last week before I start! Perhaps this could be the weekend!

Guess it's not going to happen...

Playing well this evening in the Sunday qualifier. Got in via a Sat earlier this week and have been ready to go. I'm up over 4k at break and in about 40th place out of 155. Then I get the following hand... I'm dealt pocket 6s and flop a set. I turned a boat giving the other guy a set... All the money got in on the turn. He flips up TJ suited. Sweet! Nope, not when a T comes on the river giving him Quads.

Same song...

Another Sunday, no seat... Played in the super sat Sat night and picked up a seat into the Sunday qualifier for a seat to the ME. Started of pretty slow and picked up a set of 7s, had 77 in the hole and flopped the set. Could have milked it a little, but 2 hearts of the flop, didn't want to mess around. There were 200 entrants, top 3 got seats. After the first break I was sitting in 55th spot out of 141. The next 5 levels I didn't get crap, at the 2nd break I was in 71st out of 77. Pretty much out, but I wasn't giving up.

On the 2nd hand after the break (blinds 120/240 25 ante) I woke up with AJ in the SB. Middle position, a big stack raised and it was folded around to me. I pushed and he called. He had T9 suited. The flop came AAT and he bricked out. I doubled up to 4800. The next level, 150/300 I get A2 in the SB. There was a raise to 900 and I called to see the flop. An A on the flop along with an 87 and he bet 1800 to me. I pushed my last 3200 and he called. He had 68 and I doubled up to 8885. Back in the game...

A few blinds and antes and I'm down to 6833. Blinds are now 250/500 ante 50. I'm dealt AJ and UTG I made it 2150 to go. A little bit of an over bet and a guy two off the button pushes all in for 5474 and the BB calls! I'm priced in and call. I have 1309 behind and see a flop of A95. The BB checks, I push and the BB calls. The pot is just over 17k and a side pot of 2600. I hold my breath and see the BB flip over KK and the other had 88. NICE! "Just hold, just HOLD!!" The turn is 5.... and the river, an eight! CRAP! That's not what I said...

I win that hand and I'm 9th in chips with about 20k. I won the side pot and a few hands later I picked up TJ suited, pushed my short stack and was called by AK. King on the flop all but sealed my fate. Finished 41st.

There's always Tuesday!
