Going ok at the end of the first hour with not much to report. Got just under the 4k starting stack which is only slightly under average. Had some lovely Omaha hilo starting cards but missed the flop each time. Won a nice pot in sutd with AA7X7 which held up but not a lot else. Haven't given any chips away really so happy with it so far and waiting for some nice hands in the 2nd hour. 1733 runners with 200 paid so still a long way to go.

Also still in the 6 seater turbo which had 7634 runners and at the break we are down to 1855 with 900 paid. I'm sitting 2/3 of the way down the filed with 10 BB's so need to pick a spot to muff in soon then I should have a chance of getting to the money. Total muff fest as expected and I'm keep alive mainly by re raising with air which seems to be working so far.

I fucking hate limit hold em. KK loses to J9 then top pair not good enough against a guy calling with a flush draw to hit runner runner trips. Total bollocks and i need to get some chips soon or this will be a disaster.

256/900 and in the money in the turbo but that's not the main event of this evening so not overly excited.

Total disaster I am afraid. After those 2 beats in holdem I went through ten minutes of Omaha hilo without a playable hand. The one flop I did see with A2xx was high and I had to get out. Not too impressed with the structure on FT - I have been in bad shape early in the 2nd hour on stars before and seemed to have a lot more time before getting that low. Was just below average stack until then so my demise in this tourney is really down to those 2 hold em hands.

After that I had to find a RAZZ hand. 657 looked promising until the JQ followed it as did 238, also folowed by shit and obviously beaten. To top it all off I get them in with A58 against one caller - the guy who had runner runnered trips against me earlier and he turned over 229. I was large favourite with 4 cards to come and I would have still been low stacked but with a just about playable stack but of course the dealer wasn't on my side and I finished the tourney an abysmal 1575th with the only consolation being that I really can't see how else I could have played.

Came 243/7634 in the turbo and went out when my AK ran into KK and I somehow failed to muff. $24k for first but I had to settle for $73 which is something at least.

Think I might get drunk and watch White Stripes videos then wake up late and win tomorrow's hi lo.
