Weddings are boring...

I qualified for a free monthly ending tournament for playing so many hours at the Indian Reservation Casino I frequent. There would be about 40 to 50 players that qualified by playing 50 hours or more at the casino. 1st place is $2500, 2nd place is $1,500, 3rd place is $500, 4th place is $300, and 5th place is $200. The tournament was today, but because I am a good husband, I did not go but instead went with my wife to her friends wedding. By the way, the wedding was very boring!




Full Tilt Beginning Balance - $63.29





$.02/$.05 PL Omaha Hi/Low Cash game - $3.00 buy-in





I woke up early to play and was way too tired and ended up making loose calls and lost a $1 cashing out $2.02.





$2.25 NL Holdem SNG - 9 players





I double up on the 3rd hand of the game and cruise to four players left. I put a guy all-in with my AQ and he makes a desperate call with Q3. A 3 hits on the flop and I get no help. It takes a 1/3 of my stack away but I am still Ok. A few hands later that same guy goes all-in with pocket 10's to the chip leader who has pocket Kings. The turn comes a 10 and he doubles up. I end up making my stand with AQ again and a guy call with 69 who makes a straight on the river and I finish 4th and out of the money again!!!!





$2.25 Horse FL SNG - 8 players





I don't win a hand the whole tourney and I finish 5th and out of the money. It looks like I am in a bit of a slump.





$.02/$.05 NL Holdem Cash Game - $2.50 Buy-in





About 10 minutes in I get AK on the button. I make it 20 cents to go and the SB, who has be going all-in with over $3 every single hand goes all-in again. Everyone folds and I call putting myself all-in. He turns over J9 of hearts and on the flop comes a J and I get no help. I go busted and decide that things are going bad for me today so I should cut down my playing time today.





$.02/$.05 PL Omaha Hi/Low Cash Game - $2.50 buy-in





I end up winning a small pot and had enough of playing for now. I cash out $2.62, up 12 cents.





$2.25 NL Holdem SNG - 9 Players





Finally got past 4th and finished 3rd for $3.60 prize.





$2.25 Omaha Hi/Low PL SNG - 9 players





Finished 3rd place and got rivered for a big pot. Won a $3.60 prize.





1800 FTP NL Holdem SNG - 9 players





Used my points to play a single table tourney where the final 3 players win a $26 tourney token that will allow you to play a $26 tourney. I hung on for as long as I could, but finished 4th! The magic number.





$1.25 NL Holdem MTT - 27 players





I doubled up quick but took a couple of hits and finished 10th and out of the money.





$1.25 NL Holdem MTT - 45 players





Was short stacked all the way through when I lost with AK early on. I managed to hang on for awhile, but finished 12th and out of the money.





$2.25 Horse FL SNG - 8 players





I have been running bad lately and this just goes to show another example of it: I was in the late stages playing razz where I had a 6 low made on 6th street and was all-in. The other player catches is Ace on the river to get a lower 6 than me and knock me out in 5th place and out of the money.





$2.25 Omaha Hi/Low FL SNG - 9 players





I never got anything going and finish 5th and out of the money.





$2.25 Horse SNG FL - 8 players





Again, never got anything going and finished 5th here as well and out of the money.





1800 FTP NL Holdem SNG - 9 players





Going for the $26 token again and ended up short in 6th place.





$2.25 NL Holdem SNG - 9 players





Started to dominate in the early stages of the tourney and had a 4 to 1 chip lead when only three of us were left. I ended up taking 1st when I go all-in with pocket sevens and one guy calls with pocket queens and the other guy calls with A9 and a seven hits the board. I win a $9 prize.


1800 FTP NL Holdem SNG - 9 players



My last shot at the $26 token went bad as I finished in 5th place.



$1.25 NL Holdem MTT - 90 Players

I got down to the final table with 8 players left and then boom, Full Tilt's software crashed. I received some money, but not sure how they determined it. (edit) Just got an email stating they gave me $2.70 which was the next guaranteed prize, and then we shared the remaining which my share was $2.28, and got refunded the .25 fee, which totaled $5.23.


$2.25 Omaha Hi/Low PL SNG - 9 players

I was down to me and another guy with a 2 to 1 chip lead on him and then boom, Full Tilt's software crashed. I received some money, but not sure how they determined it. (edit) Turned out to be a total of $7.93

$2.25 Horse FL SNG - 8 players

There was 6 players left and I had slightly above average in chips. Full Tilt's software crashed and not sure how much money was returned to me. (edit) Turned out to be the whole amount of $2.25 refunded to me.

$.02/$.05 Omaha Hi/Low PL Cash Game - $3 buy-in



There was a maniac in the game that raised every pot. I waited to get the right pot and doubled up. I ended up having to cash out at $6.40 since it was more than 10% of my BR. Plus, the maniac had finally left.



$.05/$.10 Horse FL Cash Game - $3 buy-in



It was a steady grind as I played a full round of all the games. I was tired, and ended up cashing out $5.



Full Tilt Ending Balance - $70.63...Yippee made a new mark into the 70's!
