FTOPS XIII

[Ciso_B]

Not sure how many people around here play these days, but may aswell do an ftops thread since I'll be playing several hopefully.

Event 1 tonight, im in... crappy first hour so far, but blinds still small.

[Ciso_B]

Cos of the 5r, i was very much on autopilot the majority of this mtt, after cashing I was short stacked, and never really found a spot to move in. I did get my chips in a big favorite, Q Q vs A7s, but by that stage I wouldn't be great stacked if i won anyway. I'd be like 8k off the average, I'd be pissed, but to cash without paying any attention is sound.
Tommorow is plo8 and 6 handed shootout, im undecided which I'll play if any, but I defo wanna play more than I usually do of these ftops, so we ll see.

Just busted event 3 , the limit omaha hi lo , I'm happy its over cos It wasnt fun in the slightest. I skipped the event 2 $300 cos it was expensive, did some reading for the plo8 and its been a game I've been playing in the 8 game cash games. I probably made several bad calls, but ended up going broke with A-A-3-6. I went broke to KK45, flop was Ad Qd 2s, he had flush draw too, he scooped when 6d came on river. Very frustrating event, an i bust uncharacteristicalyl early like in the 900's when 1080 started. Glad thats behind me now.

Ftop event #4

$200 1r1a, $600 down the tubes, I felt it was stupid to play an event htis expensive, but I made a decision to play alot of events so im sticking by it. Simply cos everytime it comes round, i say i will and back out cos i look at the schedule and see they're all pricey. I played below par, but tbh, I never had a great spot except AA vs 88 shortly after rebuy. I had AK twice and had to lay it both times preflop, the 2nd time there was raise, re riase and shove, funnily enough the allin players had AKs and AKos. With 80 before cashing, (the lowest level of cash being $815!) , I had A-Q with like 10bbs, utg opened, and I just had to go with it, AQ is too strong to be folding and unfortunately for me I was up against A-A. 3 events played now, 1 cash, about $700 down lol. Moving on...

Sunday always suck for me ,I ran pretty poorly and didnt cash in the $240 KO FTOP event, made $80 back in bounties but still $160 loss. Then this ftop, I played pretty tight overall, but still got my money in bad twice lol while short, won both of them, cashed, but then when it truly mattered i lost. Bowing out wiht 10-10 to A-K ..A on the river. I got lucky while ss tho prior to cashing so I guess "all's fair etc".Only $290k for 1st in this one.

Please try and remember this the next time you get it in good and lose!

[Ciso_B]

To win tournaments , you have to get lucky and win when you're behind and obv hold up.... well this is mid stage of tournament, and I cant even win when I have my opponents crushed. So what chance do I have?

GG fulltilt, no more ftops for me. Lost enough.

Thats it over, I foolishly pay $500 for the main event cos im a schmuck for the huge prizes. 5,300 runners, 720 pay, and I bust a disapointing 1200th or around there, I played pretty well for most part, got incredibly lucky with 99 vs AA at one point but was in vain as I lost a big 3 bet pot with AK to KJ 5 mins later, I later decide to shove K2 suited with my ss and the sb has QQ. MiaowMiaow is still in ,gl to him, I'm off to find the highest building to jump off.

There's a reason I never play more than 3 events each time these come round, cos they cost me ALOT of money.
