Finished around 1000th in the Stars 250 seat guarantee....misplayed QQ after 5 hours or something. Stacks were awkward, I had a tight image, guy was aggro. My thought process was:
1) 3b would look too strong given stack sizes
2) shove would only get called by KK/AA/AK
3) calling. he was deep and would cbet a huge % of the time (xtra chips). he also wasn't raising too often, so I was expecting the normal broadways, pairs, Ax type hands.

I decided to call. Flop Tc8c2s. He led out for 3/4 of the pot, I raised and he shoved for not much more....obv T8s.

FTP tourney. I played 2 $109's and won my 2nd one. Then played for many hours, no suckouts, solid play. Was steadily around 20-30bb most of the tourney, keeping pace with my buddy Foucault. He eventually busted, then with 272 left (150 get seats) I shoved 11bb from UTG with AQo. Got snap called by AA, and GG and good bye 6 hours of my life.

I really don't miss playing as many tourneys as I used to. I played exceptionally well in both tourneys, but the stress is so much greater than in cash games.
However....I stepped up to PLO$1/$2 and played very well, getting my hands in good many times, and went up $800 and then back down $700 pretty quickly.

In NL$400 I was coolered a few times. Khi flush < Ahi flush. AJ<99 on an AJ9 flop against an aggro donk I had been battling against. All in all, I had a terrible run. I had also been taking a shot, so now I'm heading back to NL200.
