After a crazy night last night on the cash tables (1/2euros) and a 600e downswing (remedied into a 1k profit), tonight I played some MTTs to chill (I woke up at 7pm today, and played poker.. in fact my hands were shaking as caffeine and tobacco were my only companions until after the poker session!)
1st up was the 15k euros rebuy on boss network. I chipped up nicely, then this hand cropped up. Nh GG AlexRoss.
The guy who busted me got dealt KK next hand, got 3 way action, they held, and he was 21k Chipleader. That’s poker.
So meanwhile I was in a 30euro Mtt Freezeout, which I owned completely. CL going into FT, bobbed my stack up and down, then once ITM (5 paid), I ko’d some weak players and managed a 5-1 chip lead when heads up.
Nh GG Alexross. a nice little win of 528 Euros or $778.

I played the 3k(euros) rebuy - this was one of the key hands (I nearly cried on the Turn, but was happy on the river!). After this hand I was chipleader for ages, then just In the money, I played this hand horribly (losing about 20k of my 30k chips), before shoving AQ, hitting and getting busted by a set. From 1st place to Out 20th. Sick, but not the end of the world.
So then… I played the 3krebuy and came 2nd
Here are some interesting hands:
A hand with Jacks - I had just been saying to my railbird friend on msn how I hate Jacks….. (however I got up to 47k next hand with AQs v ATo)
A Hmmmm hand:
(pokerhand claims this hh is invalid for some reason… anyway:)

I think I should have called here - his pf calling range is probably a7+, a2s+, 22+, 89+, and it was a chance to win. Hmm…
The Last hand - My set of kings gets flushed. Nh GG FU.
I came 2nd for 715Euros ($1057). A decent run today.
