Final Tables and stuff

Oh where to begin.  September....SOLID month.  I haven't updated in a while so here we go....this month I've final tabled 10 tournaments..with.....0 wins.  If I remember 3 of them are 2nd. and the rest spread out from 4th-9th.  I can't complain but leaving a lot of money on the table.  I've been playing probably by far the best poker I've ever thought about playing. Started the month off pretty sick with 2nd in the $3r $10.5k on FTP , then decided to go on a horrendous downswing throughout the middle of the month.  So last night I started late, around 9pm.  Registered for pretty much anything I could and was 18 tabling at one point.  I final table bubbled the $3r $10.5k last night after I was in the BB with AK.  I was 2/10. CL is on the button and has limped 60% hand, I pot and he call. flop K9T rainbow. Check, he bets 187k(pot size) and I ship my milly on him(pretty dumb reviewing HH now) and he insta calls with KT...blank.blank. gg 10th.  2/10 AVOID THE CHIP LEADER DUH. I dont know how many times I've read that in Kill Everyone but CMON MAN. dumb.

I followed that up with a small FT, $11 KO, first was $572. ended up getting my shortie stack KJs into JJ. GG in 5th for a few hundo.  Then the epicness started....sitting solid in the $26 $15k KO 6max and the $11 6k 6max on stars.  I entered the FT of the $11 stars 6/6 with 45bbs. Yes 45bb stack and in last....such a sick deep stack FT.  Few solid players, few donkeys....ended up getting KK in pre with about 35bbs, bb showed AK and binked A on the flop. GG.  I had 1 to go and I couldnt not win it.....I was wrecking it with 2 tables to go in the $26 on FTP, ended up having over 1 mill of the 2-2.5millish in play.  Finally ended up getting heads up with a guy who had about 550kish at 12k/24k +ante...me hoovering around 2milly after knocking out someone.  Few back and forth hands and I'm really playing heads up well, dwindling him down.  I'm on the button...min raise...he ships its, I call....A9s vs his A8o...flop A8K...blank blank.  one double up...no problem I thought. we are even in chips and he asks for a chop. if it was the guy i just knocked out who was pretty sick i would have taken it. but i knew i could beat him so i declined chopping and went for the win...Honestly I dont win al ot but my heads up game is sick so I wasnt pissed or concerned at all.  few hands later i min raise the button with KTs and he calls  flop T98. BINK....have to be good right?  he checks...i bet just over half the pot...he 3 bets me...hmmmm..ok if you have the straight or 2 pair or trips GG NH whatever...i ship it....he calls with....yes yes here it is Ac8c. (either the T or 9 was a club)..turn Club...river...no dont do it..cmon let me ship it please? one time?  CLUB. FUcK ME. he's got a gazillion chips and i'm down to 25 bbs...few hands back and forth, i get KQo in vs his A3o and he holds. gg. 2nd place $2562. 

Still can't complain I had a +$2900 night, ended my current stake(get to move on to bigger games) and get to profit some for me.

I wasn't able to get a SS from the Stars final table 6th but it was about $293 i think.


September so far:

2nd largest cash of the career and so far 2nd largest month. Couldnt come at a better time. Really sick swings and 2 nights straight where I lost every hand all in. I stuck with it, played my A game and really pumped out some volume.  Thats all it takes. Review HHs, watch videos and PLAY PLAY PLAY.  Until the next update....GL at the tables.
