Yo guysssssssssssss

Been grinding tournaments a bit recently and have probably played more in this last 5 weeks than I have in the last 3 years combined. I think the main reason why is I am living with a mate who grinds a lot of tournaments so it is nice to swap, put a film on, chill and have a shot at winning some big prizes.

So yeh just going to put up some of what I play, some results and maybe some hands along the way. How long will this last? Well I have been at it 5 weeks already so maybe not even another week but with our lack of tournament journeys I figured it would make a good one.

Tonight I regged something like this

Party

$50k GTD $109 * 2 (was a re-entry): Bust first time JJ < QQ and 2nd time A8cc < 77
$22 * 2: No clue what these were guarantees wise but I think 7.5k and 15k gtd. No idea about the hands.
$55 $15k gtd (I think): Again no idea how I bust lol.

888

$12 rebuy 20k gtd Thursday challenge: Currently 32/75/752 with $4.2k up top

Stars:

The Big $55: 22 < 88 all in on 258
ACR:

$30k Gtd PHAT Big10 $109
$20k gtd $55 PHAT Big10 $55
High Five Event #9 $15k GTD $10r
High Five Event #10 $15k GTD $63

I might reg some more but these are it for now. As for choice I just YOLO into anything I feel looks good.

BTW the ACR High Five series is pretty dope and you can read up about it Here and make an account on ACR Here

888 tournament is pretty brutal just double up 3 short stackers:

88 < A7
K10 < A8
JJ < AQ

Down to 18bb!

On another note the $109 PHAT just started on ACR:

Sigh 27th in the $12 20k gtd on 888. Weird spot as this loon opened soooooo big and I thought it may have been a mistake so just went with it. Happy to flip here anyways just wasn't my side of the coin

Tourney's

It's a good spot with that AJ, meh. How much did you cash for overall?

MTTs suck lol

So started to reg at like 8pm and then as I was my mate rang me on Skype so found myself 1 tabling during that hour in the $22 $15k GTD on Party. Ended up just one tabling this and now I find myself 1/68/779 with $2.7k up top.

Gonna jump into a turbo or something as now out of the lounge and back on my PC so one tabling is not so fun. Anyways wish me luck and if you want to rail my screen name is OPLKing

Sigh could not hold

Gotta win them flips!
I absolutely love tournaments and they definitely get a lot of shit they don't deserve!
Nothing better than running up a stack and going deep in a big event!

It's all gone wrong. Made a sweet bluff but forgot to check the guys location: Russia so it did not work. Now just lost KJ vs 88 and down to 300k and 18big blinds.
ZZZZZZ

What a waste of an evening

I was prepapring to ask you for hints for winning tournaments.
But probably not a good time

Win flips.

This is the hardest part... I win 1 in 5 flips - or this is my impression.

Haha yeh it is pretty rough for sure. I came 50th in some 8000 runner tournament yesterday losing KQ vs 78 which was fucking marvellous.
