So near but so far . .

• $3.40 3/10. Nothing sort of game yet a cash such a change from a day ago. ($2.60)
• $5.50 285/1393. Standard never really obtained a stack lost a race. (-$5.50)
• $1.10 735/2277. Uninteresting. (-$1.10)
• $3.40 2/10. Felt right back to my best in these, dominated totally from 6 out, heads up lost a marginal flip. ($5.60)
• $2.20. 1572/1678. Some smart alec dickbrained twat - decided to call my 6X raise with 54, my set of Aces was crippled on the flop of A23. What a cock. (-$2.20)
• $3.40. 8/10. Fun hand to die with . . poker for ya. (-$3.40)
• $5.50. 17/2643. A tale of the AJ. I'll explain tomorrow - either way some fucker doesn't want me winning big yet. ($93.50)
  

Some thoughts on the $5.50 turbo. This tourney plays very much like a crapshoot it's good practice for push/fold and you very rarely ever get above an M of 3/4 after after the blinds reach 100/200. Some key hands here . .

I call pretty much here because in this spot villain could be pushing Ax - low pairs and I've got to call 5.7k to win 20k so it's pretty standard http://www.pokerhand.org/?1770980

Again this is pretty standard http://www.pokerhand.org/?1770984

This looking back at the HH is a pretty piss poor fold from me, raisers range is quite easily any two high cards, if I lose in this spot I have 30k, if I win I'm up to 64k http://www.pokerhand.org/?1770989

Moving on, a few standard shoves/races won until these two hands with us down to last few tables, both are unlucky and I guess on another day I win them both and rake home upwards of $500.

If anyone wants to comment on any of them go ahead.

I've run the whole tourney through FlopTurnRiver's excellent tourney trimmer, another great feature of this site http://www.flopturnriver.com/Online-Poker-Tournament-2317.html
