Saturday Night

30 people left and i flop a set and go out 30th, I win this pot and I am sure i make the $ or better… I have been getting bad cards the whole tourney just floating along… and this happens… really I have to stop thinking what their only out is on the river b4 it comes… all the money was gonna be in the middle post flop so it was unavoidable... still sucks. I played really well for not getting any cards the whole tourney so I am only unhappy with the last hand of tourney, see HH below.

Friday night I played in a $5 rebuy 36 person tourney, winner gets entry into 1.5 mil guarantee FTOPS event on Full tilt… I got 3rd… for a cash $27, I only spent the $5 so a $22 profit, so freaking close to a $300 buy in tourney… but really these last 2 tourneys I played really well and made good choices, just got unlucky in the end. Such is poker and I will break the barrier at some point. I know it.

After busting 30th on the poker stars tourney, I got on FT sat down at $1/$2 table with $100 ran it up to $160 left at $135ish....
