So I'm back to square one having won the entries for 2 tourneys and failing to make an impression in either. Although I am generally nocturnal the lateness of the start times really doesn't help and hopefully today's game starting earlier will help.


Deposited another $100 - this FTOPS series could soonn be all over for me as I won't be depositing any more, what with food and drink being more important than poker, and I will have to play Event 4 as a F/out rather the taking the single rebuy and addon. Not ideal but these tourneys have a great structure so if I get through the first hour ok then anything can happen.

Will have to use the other 80 very wisely to try and build a roll for the other events. 90 player stt's aren't really the way forward so I guess I will have to try 9 seater hi lo games or something. We will see.


Out after nearly 3 hours. Had AA KK and also QQ twice with no action at all to a modest 3x BB raise. Shoved my last 6 BB's with A10 and was called by A7 who hit and that was that. Bloody annoying, I've gone deep in big mtt's plenty of times but it isn't happening at the moment.

Event 4 is going ok - didnt rebuy but added on after coming 2nd in a horse stt which paid for half the add on.

Just under average stack after the break but lost a pot after raising with nines and representing the A on the flop and folding to a raise. Plenty play left thought so lets see what happens. Back up to average after playing QQ the same way - this time the A on the flop wasn't any good to anyone.

Out 1837th from 5842. Had pocket aces and pocket kings once, queens twice, and no action at all as everyone folded to a modest 3x BB raise each time. Shoved my last 6 BB's with A10 which if course was no match for A7. Really not running well at the moment which is bloody annoying.
