Still happy with my performance.

So through a series of swaps and last longers, I lost emmadad's money to emmasmom and the other tourney donks, but ended up with 60 cents on stars. So after watching Tunk mize it up, I ran it up to 1.80 in 7 hands or so. Guess Ill rush micro limits while gridning out AP.

T minus a short while till foxwoods.

-Jus

A decent evening...... +59 or so playing two 3 handed 1/2 tables (which was all the stud that was running at AP).

Hatched an interesting theory on Xaszen, upon which I will elaborate on in greater detail sometime when I have not had such a long day.

I almost called based on my two live cards. Oh well.

-Jus

So I was donking off in some 5 table sngs and talking to emmasmom when I saw that she was entered in the next $4 180 tourney. So I jumed on complety on the spur of the moment. I had not planned on playing anything more than a couple sngs.



I took the chip lead with about 110 people left and held it till we were down to two tables, then I lost it a couple times but managed to finish it off.

Thanks to h2t and cal for sweating me.

First tourney win in a while.

-J

Today: managed to donk off a bunch of chips, including a couple ft bubbles and a huge stack in the 5r, but finished ahead by pulling a 3rd and 1st in the last two $11 5 table sngs of the night.

Trip report to follow.

-Jus

First non-he win in a while. Felt very good.



We played for almost two hours once we got down to three handed. I withstood a couple bad hands, but felt like I played really well throughout. It was the longest I have ever played short, particularly at razz.

Played 3 razz tourneys in the last 18 hours or so, finished with a 1st, 5th, and 2nd.

Think Ill stick to this for a bit.

I have two birthday parties to go to tonight, so time to go get ready to hit on random women and drink hurricanes and such.

Party Summary

First party was awsome, second party sucked (well it didnt suck, it just wasnt as cool as the first party).

1) Unfortunately, I was drunk enough at the second party to make out with a girl that I generally detest (I think so, anyway).

this lead to

2) because I needed to get the hell away from the situation described in 1, I pulled a MK and wandered into the backyard and attempted to go over the gate to get the hell away from the place. This lead to my jeans getting stuck on the stupid gate (which would not open because I live in alaska and there are 10 inches of snow on the ground), which lead to me spraining my knee and ripping my favorite pair of jeans almost in half.

3) because of this needing to get the hell away from the situation, I did not either hook up with the chick at party #2 that I should have or make it back to party #1. Also I do not know where my hat is (although it could be in my car).

4) because I was drunk and needed food when I got home, I put a pot of water on the stove to make pasta and then passed out. One of my very nice KitchenAid pots is now shot to hell.

Now I am really annoyed because I am hung over (although this has improved with a couple glasses of water and I think will be almost gone with another glass of water, some food and a nap), my knee hurts, and I will have to deal with ensuing drama over kissing some chick that I generally detest (and I didnt even get to have "whoops, now Im done and out of here" sex with her, although that may not be a bad thing, seeing as I really do detest her). More importantly, I did not make it back to the totally sweet party. That and I spilled a glass of wine in my kitchen and there is a large winestain on the wall.

Moral of the story: Tis better to not make out than make out with someone you generally detest (and will have to interact with in the future).
