FTOPS #16 sucked

Went home early for the Omaha Hi-Lo yesterday at 2. Won't bore you with the details cuz it will sound like I am whinning again but lost 85% of my stack on a 2 outer on the river. While this was going on I played in 4 or 5 other tournaments as well. Ran like death there too.

One was perfect in the Full Tilt $27,500 guarantee ($24+2 buy in). I raise from UTG to 850 with KK. Blinds are 150/300/25 and I have ~11k. Button re-raises to 3200. This looks like AK at best. Why would AA reraise that much here. So I reship all in and button insta-calls with JJ. This is so freaking bad it is a joke. What am I shipping all-in with for nearly 40BB that he can beat. I am shipping exactly 2 hands here 100% of the time: AA, KK. Depending on the player I may ship with AK but that just depends on whether I am in the mood to gamble with 40BB. So anyway JJ is NEVER ahead here except on the rare occassion that I do gamble with AK which he is 53/47. Basically he has to assume I am stacking off with TT or AK for 40BB. Nice play sir. Obviously a J came on the turn. People play so bad.

I did go semi-deep in the $20 cubed (1 rebuy and 1 add-on) on Stars finishing 30/~800 for a medium cash. Got it all in after the flop with 2 overs and a flush draw but missed everything. First time I played this event but liked it a lot. Very deep blind structures which is unusual for an on-line tournament.

Still playing a lot of satellites since other than yesterday it is difficult finding time for tournaments during tax season (with the exception of this coming Sunday). I have won 6 seats to the FTOPS Main Event. Here is a link to that leaderboard:

Might try and finish top 2 since there is a bonus. Will never catch "The Fiend 34" since he puts in insane volume. All of these satellites I have won have given my bankroll a HUGE boost and allowed me to play more and bigger tournaments as well as cash out for a nice profit already.

Sunday will be my last full schedule tournament day until tax season is over. Wife and kids will be out of town for the long weekend so I will come in to work early Sunday and then cut out and plan to play the following schedule:

Stars

Noon 32k Guarantee $20+2
12:30 2k Guarantee PLO $16.50
12:45 Sunday Warm-up $1M Guarantee $215 (satelitte in)
2:00 Daily 30k $11
2:15 10k Guaranteed $20 cubed
3:00 Daily 80k Guaranteed $55
3:30 Sunday 200k Guaranteed $11
4:30 Sunday Million ($1.5M this week) $215 (have satellited in)
5:00 80k Guaranteed $55
6:30 Sunday 2nd chance $215 (will satellite in)
6:30 2k guarantee PLO $55
7:00 100k Guaranteed $109

Full Tilt

Noon 14k Guaranteed $26
1:00 17.5 Guaranteed $75
1:30 4k Guaranteed PLO $10 rebuy
2:00 FTOPS 24 Bounty $129 (already won several seats)
2:00 27.5 Guaranteed $26
3:00 13.5k Guaranteed $26
3:30 50k Guaranteed $55
4:00 22.5k Guaranteed $75
4:15 3.5k Guaranteed PLO bounty $26
4:35 100k Guaranteed "Double Duece" $22
4:45 6k Guaranteed PLO $75
6:00 FTOPS Main Event $535 (see above for multiple seats won)
6:00 21k Guaranteed $26
6:15 3k Guaranteed (PL split) $26
7:00 40k Guaranteed $75
7:05 Sunday Mulligan $250k $216 (if I satellite in)

The tournaments in bold I am definitely playing. The others will depend on how I feel or how deep I am in other events. For example, if I am in the 3rd or 4th hour of the Sunday Warm Up I will likely play fewer of the 4:00-6:00 tournaments. Silly to start up another tournament to distract me from a tournament where I am already fairly deep with a chance for a good cash.

One Phucking Time Please!!!!
