So, last Sunday was an especially good Sunday to play tournaments. There was the Sunday Warmup, FTOPS Knockout, Sunday 2.5Mil on Stars, and FTOPS 2.5M ME onF TP.

I got furthest in the warmup, busting around 300 when 99 < 66 for a 3x avg stack.

However, my sickest run from the recent FTOPS (I played 4 events) was the 1k 6m. We battled through a field of 1300 people, and with around 100 people left I was 5th or so in chips. I get moved to a new table, and the one fucking guy in the entire tournament who is left and I care about, mastr, is sitting to my direct left. So, I weave back and forth between raising/3betting a good amount, and having mastr 3b/flat me. I felt my reads were pretty on against him, and I still applied pressure when I needed to, while still passing on a variety of spots vs. him because my expectation was so much higher elsewhere.

Apparently, Shannon Shorr (the heralded BLUFFforrent on FTP) gets moved to my table. I 3bet him a couple times, donk a few times after calling pre, and have fairly good control over him and the table in general. We are down to 20 people left, $300k to the winner I believe, when the following hand comes up:

I am 5th in chips with around 500k. Mastr is 3rd with 600ish, and Shannon Shorr is 4th, covering my by about 20k. I know what Seth Rogan thinks of me, and I assume that Shannon has people on AIM or something telling him that lolmonies is a cash game donk (they obviously love to bluff preflop!) 1st in chips is 650k, blinds are 3000/6000 with some ante:

Full Tilt Poker FTOPS Event #12 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t3000/t6000 Blinds + t750 - 5 players

Hero (UTG): t488391 M = 38.31
mastrblastr (CO): t539989 M = 42.35
wellgaz (BTN): t650343 M = 51.01
BLUFFforRENT (SB): t523246 M = 41.04
IITTII (BB): t137073 M = 10.75

Pre Flop: (t12750) Hero is UTG with K K
Hero raises to t13275, mastrblastr calls t13275, 1 fold, BLUFFforRENT raises to t48775, 1 fold, Hero requests TIME, Hero raises to t84275, 1 fold, BLUFFforRENT requests TIME, BLUFFforRENT raises to t522496 all in, Hero calls t403366 all in

Flop: (t998307) 8 3 A

Turn: (t998307) Q

River: (t998307) 8

Final Pot: t998307
Hero shows K K (two pair, Kings and Eights)
BLUFFforRENT shows Q A (two pair, Aces and Queens)
BLUFFforRENT wins t998307




So, that would have been fun. 1st in chips by 400k, 20 people left, 6m tourney, running over table, playing really well. Whatever, I will eventually get a six figure score at these silly things .

The other tournament is a Halo 2p2 Tourney I entered. I teamed up with Rob and Garbageman18, and we are set to win. We play Reid's team on Friday, and here' s a little preview for him:

Lastly, I made a 2/4 NL live video that will be uploaded and out somewhat soon. I'm going to be making more videos in the near future, so let me know what you are looking for. Additionally, I feel like my SN's making videos creates an unrealistic environment a lot of the times, so I'm probably going to be looking for volunteers to give me some footage to discuss. If you are interested in recording a session at 2/4+ (honestly I'd review a session at any and all stakes 2/4+, the higher the better), let me know.

Take care,
Greg
