Alright, quick entry because I'm very tired and need to sleep for tomorrow's tournament ($325 bounty tournament).

First hand of the tournament, guy open shoves blind from the cutoff. Structure was pretty good with 2500 chips per rebuy/addon but we couldn't rebuy until after the first hand. So he shoves 2500 and the lady next to him apparently folds AQ even though she knows he's blind. I call in the bb with A9dd and he has J9cc and he hits a jack. Then later on after double rebuying I call a small reraise with 54s and flop a straight on a 632 board against aces and tens and they both open shove into me. I only had about 10k and bled down to about 7500, then took the double addon for 5k more and had a manageable stack for the 50/100 level.

I played really well again today but was very card dead, and shortly after moving to a new table, a middle position player makes it 500 at the 75/150 level with about 10k behind. I call on the button with QQ and the bb also calls despite only having about 1600 behind. Flop comes 873, he shoves his 1600 in and MP calls after about 10 seconds. I also just call because he's unlikely to call a shove with anything I have beat and is never folding anything I lose to. Turn is the 9h which is a really ugly card, so when he checks I bet 3k to get it HU with the allin guy. He folds and the bb shows A8o and spikes an 8 on the river to stay alive. I was down to about 8k and after I folded to the 100/200 level, I raised two EP limpers to 1100 with AKo and got reraised by BigEgypt, so I stuck it in and lost to his QQ.

I'm really looking forward to the shorthanded tournament on Tuesday, but tomorrow will be fun too. Take care all.
