New week similar results
Funny how much more fun blogging is when you are winning... thus the less than daily updates...LOL I went up to Palomar yesterday... never had to rebuy which is good since there were only 29 players. I was rolling along pretty well when we got down to 12 players... I promised myself to not play anything but premium hands at this point until we got down to final table... blind were 100/200 and I was in the big blind and looked down at AQ... the player to my left went all in for his last $200 and the small blind who had a huge stack called the extra $200. I thought about going all in and trying to get it down to me and the guy to my left but then i thought if the huge stack has any kind of hand he would probably call me anyway... so I checked and figured if i hit either and Ace or a Queen on the flop I would move all in.... sure enough the flop was QJ4 and i pushed all in... the big stack called and turned over Q10 against my QA... it worked perfectly... until the turn was a 10 giving him 2 pairs and knocking me out in 11th place... aggghhh. Today I went to Pechanga and like the last couple of times there, I collected a lot of chips early including making some great continuation plays and was really feeling good when the cards just went dead. Normally that wouldn't be all that bad except with their new structure the blinds and then the antes kicked in and my stack slowly started to diminish. I was moved to another table and won a couple of hands but not enough with the blinds and antes going up. Finally with blinds 1000/2000 and having only $6900 i went all in with an A4 and when I got three callers including 2 all ins I new I was in trouble. The flop brought a 4 which temporarily had me in front but I quickly fell behind and was gone with 4 tables left. I am considering going back to more cash games because in most of the tournaments lately I have collected a lot of chips early but have been unable to finish strongly... if I can do the same thing in a cash game I can walk away while I am ahead which might not be a bad idea :) Will let you know more later.
