Ok so last night i was supposed to get up to 40 turbos, but before i embarked on that i decided to give a $10 mtt a pop, My strategy was to gamble in the first hour to get chips or busto - i'd quite happily have gone on a turbo rampage. As it happens i didnt need to gamble, i hit J5 from the sb and AJ and JQ paid me off in full. That put me on about 4k with the blinds at 50 100, then i had AK in ep... and i limp re raised all in and was up against QQ and i won that too up to 9kish by the first break.
The next few levels were pretty unremarkable, i had no real good hands and i stole a few pots to keep my stack alive. Then i noticed we were down to 60 people and i was in the top 15. No hands and the whole table taking it in turns to raise from early position made me a short stack by the time we were down to 27. And i decided to change gears, i had about 50k and blinds were 2k 4k. That didn work either as evry time i raised the somebody obviosly found some kind of hand and re raised all in. blinds go up to 3k 6k and i am v short with 18k. I push in from the button with Q5 to try to take down about 12k in blinds/antes BB calls with KK and i flop 5 river Q :). Still desperately short though, then i am in the BB and this chap in mp limps - ive noticed him limp and then fold on 2 other occasions. The SB completes and i have Qc7c, i have 30k in chips and there is 22k in the centre, thats almost a double through with no contest should he fold.... i push he calls with 55 and i hit my Q and win a large pot - putting me on about 90k. down to last 14- i find AK in teh bb and the button moves all in for about 180k i call with my 90k and beat his 88. then next orbit he does it again with 88 and i call with AK - wierd eh and i beat him again. up to about 160k now with 13 left. blinds 6k 12k and i have KK utg, i raise it up to 36k, SB who has me out chiped calls. flop comes A 5 6 he checks, i bet out 36k he re raises min... i fold. down to about 90k again after the blinds and down to 10 players too. Then i push all in a few times and get called by AQ, ive got KJ and i flop the J and the river comes out with Q. BUBBLED !!! i did well in races in that mtt which makes a nice change, still a bit dissapointed in my KK, KK and AA never win big pots for me they always get cracked or i have to lay them. After that it was abot 6am, so i didnt really feel up to doing another 24 turbos, so i have alot of turbos to do today. 64 to reach my target of 40 a day.

Not a good start to the day, played 12, ive came 1st once, and came 4th a few times. worst run ive had in some time at these shitty levels. oh well sure my vairaince will turn round by the end of the day
