I won the first tourney I entered last night, the $109 at 12:00 on FT ($5500ish).

Then I came 2nd in another one of the first wave of tourneys, the $55 cubed ($5500ish too).

I was headsup vs POKERPR0, got it in ahead three times and lost all three, it was so sick.

First after chipping him down to 80/20 I got A4cc vs QJo allin preflop for the tourney win, but he doubled back to 40% of chips in play.

I outplayed him in small pots for a while (typical MTT pro thing where he just folded way too much), then got Qs Ts allin on Js 9s 5... vs 65o somehow (hes a nit generally), it came blank blank, so disgusting.

Now he had the chiplead but I held my ground, and we are almost exactly evenly stacked when I reshipped 88 - he called AJo and won again, sigh.

Then soon after that I final tabled the Party High Roller tourney, but busted in 6th for $4000.

So before the US wave of tourneys had even started I was already freerolling and up a significant amount.

The rest of the night was a huge tease.

I kept building up stacks, and going super deep... but never closing out, always losing the last flip.

I came 9-18th in 3 different tournaments, 2 of them with over $100, 000 prize pools.

It was ridiculous.

I know that I can't complain after net profiting at least $10K on a Sunday somehow but I feel very disappointed to have gotten so close to a really memorable night, but winding up merely booking a boring, solid win.

I was only a couple of flips away from doing something really sick, like 5 FTs in a night, or 2-3 wins in a night, or $50K of cashes in a night, something along those lines was really so close...

But yeah, I guess I'm running a bit better now and I played very well I thought.

I had a downswing a couple days ago at PLO, lost 6 buyins at 5/10 quickly which hurts when you've mostly been playing 2/4...

Feeling alright though, and settling in to playing PLO in the week/MTTs on Sundays.

Had a good weekend, saw a friend's band play, had dinner with one of my favourite people, and caught up with some others that I miss too.

I also made two videos, one of Party $1000NL, other of MTTs.

The sound didn't come out great - I think my new headset sucks.

Hopefully they are usable though because I felt like I was talking well!

Either way, definitely time to pass out now.
