Event #51 3k Triple Chance NL

I had very few playable hands today, yet was able to get hold of a decent stack early on. I got moved to a new table and, still devoid of cards, pushed a move too far when I turned an open-end straight draw to go with my ace. The guy thought long and hard about folding, but ultimately made the call with a pair and the same straight draw and I whiffed the river. All in all it was a fairly bad bluff due to the board texture and lack of information about my opponent.

I am pretty disappointed in myself for making that play. I could have rode it out and looked for a better spot in this reasonably well-structured tournament.

I got off to a nice start in this one, then explored different ways to lose my stack. There were myriad opens that ran into hands, a failed bluff, whiffed setmines, missed draws, a bad beat, and a desperation shove.

Tomorrow is the 3k Triple Chance. There are a lot of desperate gamblers out here looking to make a score. Time is running out.

Event #47 1k NL

This tournament sucked. I won like six pots in five hours, busted out, then played three hopeless games of Catan.

Congrats to Dean Hamrick on winning his first bracelet in a $1500 NL after getting down to less than one big blind late on the second night of the tournament.

They are starting to blur.

Event #44 2.5k Mixed Hold'em

I had an opportunity to go from 1700 in chips to 11,000 in two hands, but Andrew Black flopped a set on my kings for the second time and turned quads.
