Back from work at 9am - very tired as although I'm allowed to sleep at work i never get more than a couple of hours. This genereally results in me getting home tired, opening a beer, and then seeing what tournaments i shouldn't enter.

Today this was a 3$ mtt on stars - currently 120/239 from 888 runners and the breakfast club in ladbrokes - a ridiculous decision to enter a 40$ buy in tourney when my bankroll was only 140 to start with - guess that's where greed comes in - I sometimes can't get motivated to play when there's no decent prize to be won.

Started badly - JJ 2nd hand so I called from mid position to a raise from UTG - rag flop so I called his small bets - he'd hit his set of twos on the flop - and to be honest he could have had more from me - found out later he was a self confessed donk with too much money playing on a mate's account. Got a few back when AK called by an extremely short stack with K6 then got involved in a pot against another guy who was pretty loose and calling anything. I missed my flop and unfortunately he called a biggish bet intended for him to fold - I then put him all in when I had nothing and that bet was big enough to push him off nothing - pretty lucky as he'd have called with not much. So currently 27/43 from 65 runners with first break approaching.

20/41 going into 2nd hour of BC - GL me.

Just had a bit of fun on stars - getting lowish (12 BB's) so raised from MP with KQ - when the SB went all in I knew I was behind but though fuck it - and lost to AQ leaving me with 4 bb's - 87 suited next hand was enough to get it all in and with 2 spades and an up and down straight draw on the J69 the other 2 guys went all in with AJ and I hit my spade on the turn. Out soon after though when 77 ran into 99

Just doubled in the BC - AK suited in the BB so called a 4 x BB raise from MP - tenA3 rainbow flop so i bet the pot - matey goes all in so I call hoping he hasn't got A10 - his AQ wasn't good enough so i'm now 4/36.

Cut off just raised - he had just under half my stack so thought i'd test him with my AK - the blinds were very low so no danger there - his 44 was looking good until the river K - now 2/33 but a long way to go as blinds still low.

Card dead but hanging around with the odd raise and steal etc - some people on my table will call anything so will have to be careful. 11/17 at 2nd break though so all is not lost. Will probably bubble. Very tired so will have to focus on making the right decisions.

fuck it - out 14th - 7 BB's left and KQ suited in BB - SB makes min raise so i push all in - he calls with A8. Maybe should have flat called as I might have been able to bluff bet the J92 flop. Ah well time for a kip and we'l see what happens later.
