(At this point, blinds are sufficiently high enough to make raising and winning pots a lucritive option (There's a big difference between doing this play at Level 2 than there is doing it at Level 7. Remember that kids.))
----------------------------------------
A suckout for me, but given that I wasn't going all in, and it would only cost me 8 BB's, and if I lost, I'd have 10 BB's left, I took the risk. This had gives me some chips to play with.

Not a hand I played, but an example of a sick suck-out (pocket pair vs. non-pair, unsuited cards where the higher-ranked card is the same as the rank of the pocket-pair. You may remember this kind of suckout from my Foxwoods FPC Super-Satellite.)

Right after the call, I wondered if it was the right call, even though I did win. I mean, for all I knew, I could've been up against JJ, QQ, KK or AA. I'm still wondering now if that was the right play.
I now have more than double the next highest-person at the table. There are either 10 or 11 people left, money starts at 6.
-----------------------------------
The rest of the hands are final table hands, and just like the rest of the tourney, I played tight and waited for hands that could be good, as opposed to playing position and re-raising with the big stack. I was more concerned with making the money, and to be honest, I didn't even think of playing my position.
Now that I'm looking at it, I basically donked my way into the money.
So, of course, I'm first out of tonight's MATH. Then again, I went to the gym earlier and was feeling dehydrated, which lead to an "eh, fuck it" mentality when I had 2-pair with a 3-diamond board. Of course, opponent has a flush and I don't fill up on the river.
Eh. So there's my Blogger Big Game. Hope you had fun reading it. Or something.
Deal: $786 for each of the top 4 players (3rd paid $548.55, so a good deal here!)
I'm excited. A new record cash for me.

-----------------------------
I'm well below the average stack at this point, been playing very tight. My PF raises have taken down the blinds, and that's been the majority of the action I've gotten.

----------------------------------------
A suckout for me, but given that I wasn't going all in, and it would only cost me 8 BB's, and if I lost, I'd have 10 BB's left, I took the risk. This had gives me some chips to play with.

Right after the call, I wondered if it was the right call, even though I did win. I mean, for all I knew, I could've been up against JJ, QQ, KK or AA. I'm still wondering now if that was the right play.
I now have more than double the next highest-person at the table. There are either 10 or 11 people left, money starts at 6.
-----------------------------------
The rest of the hands are final table hands, and just like the rest of the tourney, I played tight and waited for hands that could be good, as opposed to playing position and re-raising with the big stack. I was more concerned with making the money, and to be honest, I didn't even think of playing my position.
Now that I'm looking at it, I basically donked my way into the money.
So, of course, I'm first out of tonight's MATH. Then again, I went to the gym earlier and was feeling dehydrated, which lead to an "eh, fuck it" mentality when I had 2-pair with a 3-diamond board. Of course, opponent has a flush and I don't fill up on the river.
Eh. So there's my Blogger Big Game. Hope you had fun reading it. Or something.

FTP - $5 + .50 NL Hold'em - 3/31/2007
Position: 5/455
Cash: $153.56
My biggest cash online!
This tournament was weird though. I saw more river suckouts (both for myself and my opponents) than usual. I guess FTP's RNG saw what day it is (in GMT) and decided to be wacky with its river cards. But, somehow, I was able to cash, and although I'm a little disapointed I got to the final table (and had the chip lead for a little bit), I wasn't able to bring it home.
Hand Histories will come later tonight. Busy day today.

Where I've been lately & Reading from the rail.
My online play has been few and far between as of late: A couple of months ago, I attempted a few tournaments with buy-ins outside of my comfort zone. My bankroll wasn't big enough to handle it, so now I have but a few dollars in my account. I've instead taken to watching some other people play instead. I read a couple of poker blogs every day, and if I'm bored after work, I'll see if they're in any tournaments and watch how they play.
During FTP's Tuesday 30K guarantee (6-max NL Hold'em), I was watching 2 tables: one had blogger hoyazo and the second had FTP pro Clonie Gowen. Just after the first break, Clonie is UTG and makes a standard raise with the button calling. The flop is rainbow rags, queen-high. Clonie makes the standard continuation bet, and the button calls. Turn: check check. At this point, I'm thinking "Clonie has AK." She had a hand worthy enough to raise pre-flop UTG with and, after getting her continuation bet called on the flop, had to slow down. River is neither an Ace or a King, it goes check, check. Clonie turns over A9 off-suit and the button mucks.
While I didn't get it exactly right, I was in the right neighborhood. Calling other people's hands like this is a good confidence booster for me, since my bankroll is doing absolutely nothing for my confidence.
Unfortunately, since it was late, I couldn't watch more of the tourney. But hoyazo did end up busting Huckleberry Seed (another FTP pro) from the tournament. Busting a pro gets the person their tournament buy-in back, so congrats to hoy for that.
I think I'm going to try FTP's cash transfer option for getting money back into my account. We'll see how that works.
