Four tourneys tonight and not happy with any of them. Also played a couple of 4$ turbo sats to the sunday million on stars but got nowhere.

First up was the 50$ 8k Gtd freezout on laddies - using the winnings from last night's GY. 140 runners - ten paid. This was quite an uneventful tourney but with 45 left I found AA and ended up in a 3 way all in v KK and 55. The 55 won it of course and instead of being about 15/45 I was out. Been a while since AA lost for me so can't complain. Well I can, but I won't.

Next up was the 3.5K Gtd 10 rebuy on Laddies. Over 200 runners and I was about 18/30 with 20 paid. Hung in and was 18/22 with two low stacks when I did something that i'm still not sure about. I had K10 in the SB. blinds had just gone up to 1500/3000 and I had 15K left. We were playing 7 handed because there were only 22 lzft on 3 tables. Folded round to me and the BB is the big stack who has ben quite tight for someone with such a huge stack - calling all ins but not with any old crap. I figure that 6 times from 10 he folds, 3 times he calls from behind, and once from ahead. What I mean is that my shove all in in is a winning move long term. Not this time obviously because he had AA.

Going out so close to the bubble annoyed me and unfortunately when I looked on stars to enter something on tilt I entered a 100$ HORSE tourney. 40 runners 5 paid. Finished 8/40 so not too annoyed - better than spunking it all on cash like I did last night (100$ on laddies in about 30 mins)

Only other one was the GY. 70 runners tonight and I hit the FT - think thats something ridiculous like 7 FT's from last 8 entries to GY. Anyway I got to the FT about 6th in chips but with 3 guys very low stacked. Then I get AQ UTG. I flat call and there are 3 others in the pot. 10 J 10 flop and everyone checks. Turn is K giving me the straight. Flush draw is there but thinking i'm ahead I bet about 1/4 my stack. Get called by one guy. River is something like the 2c so no flush. I bet and matey turns over pocket tens. Wouldn't mind but he had shown himself to be a weak saturday nighter who can't play tourneys without cards. Was going to ladder to 7th with some guys V low stacked but got AK very soon after with 2BB's left and lost to 87 off. 9th place got me a bit back but still a losing day.

On the bright side no-one's totted up the scores yet butI think i'm well ahead in the forum football tipster comp.

GN and GL.

quuick update - again went to cash tables after those shenanegans but managed to leave while 80 up this time.
