Weekly update - April 9th

Lets see - I used the $1330 from last Thursdays win to take a shot at a bigger tournament at the weekend - the 200k prizepool $75k first place guarantee Hustler main event. I played on Day 1c and Day 1d without any success.

It was frustrating to say the least because on Day 1c in particular I chipped up nicely and played great for 5 hours or so, then went card-dead for about 2.5 more hours. Finally I got KJ and a flop giving me straight and flush draws and a short stack pushed all in so I gambled and lost. Now I was short but the very next hand I got AA and pushed all in. I was called by Q9 suited who rivered a flush.....nice one!! Game over!!

I played a mid-day tournament at The Bike on Tuesday and finished 19th out of 100 (they pay 18 but had also decided to pay the bubble boy). When the agreement was made I had plenty of chips but playing aggressively was my downfall as I finally went out with pocket 3s.

I also played Oceans11 tournament (morning and evening) on Weds but had no luck and was busto in them both.

Finally this week I played a whole bunch of cash at Hustler, Hawaiian Gardens, The Bike and Oceans 11 with mixed results. Sessions were:

Hustler 8/16 - win $400
Hustler nl50 - win $135
Hustler nr50 - win $23
Hustler 3/6 - lose $20
Hustler 8/16 - lose $320
HG nl40 - win $120
TheBike nl40 - lose $40
Oceans nl40 - lose $200
Oceans 3/6 - win $60
Oceans 4/8 - lose $200

Yes it was a brutal session at Oceans on Weds - I lost the morning tournament, played NL and lost a bunch of cash, played the evening tournament and lost again, and played some limit and apart from a small win on 3/6, lost a bunch more when that table closed and I was moved to 4/8.

So I pretty much spent all my winnings from last week but am not too disappointed as I got to take a shot at a much bigger tournament than I normally play.

Not too much else happening - I played a little online yesterday alternating between Rush Poker PLO and Limit NL for very small stakes. I win a bit, lose a bit, win a bit, lose a bit.
