Update/Ftops/Cardplayer etc

0

Ok wow...so much to talk about! First, this new CR layout is going to take a lot of getting used to. Guess in some ways, I'm a creature of habit.

So I made a deep run in the FTOPS hu event where I got 3rd. I lost 77 aipf to A2o. Was disappointed but I think I played really well. At the same time, I made a deep run in the 100 cubed (1r+1a) 6m on FTP and won it for 21k. I really love that tournament because its 6m and you do have pretty deep stacks when you reach the final table. Honestly, I don't think I played that well in that tournament I was super focused on heads up and really really exhausted by the time I busted hu and it was 4 handed. I was actually having trouble keeping my eyes open so a big shoutout to my friends who kept me awake with jokes and encouragement!

I thought it was super awesome that I was on the front page of CR news. It was even more awesome that Cardplayer contacted me to do a feature article and hand to hand combat. Really really excited about that. I was a bit nervous about the phone interview but luckily Craig Tapscott is a really nice guy that made me feel very comfortable quickly. It was really such an honor and privilege to be asked to do this. I definitely don't think I'm anywhere close to the level of the other guys who have been in Cardplayer for the same thing.

Today was a huge day as far as buyins. I played both the 2ks the scoop high events but busted pretty quickly. The 2k 6m I ran KK into AA pretty early in a very standard cooler spot. I think if I had more chips like 25k I could have considered folding. The second 2k 2 day main event I pretty much busted the first hand. I flopped a set of 4s on a K 4 6r board in a 5 way flop. I ended up getting set over setted by KK. I'm wondering if I could have found a fold but again, I think I'm just being results oriented.

Onto good things for today! I'm still two tabling and pretty exhausted as is most of my Sundays but, I WON the 100 cubed turbo on Stars for 42k!! Really excited because I've been looking for a score over 30k for awhile so its more of a personal accomplishment.

So I should end this blog now and concentrate..it's going to be a sick couple of weeks. I'm going to try and play as many Scoop high events as I can that are good value. Meaning I don't see the point in playing the 10k as last year there were not many entrants. Think I'll skip the 2k cubed and the 1k rebuys as well. But, I will be playing the 500r 6m tomorrow. Ok enough rambling, hope everything is going well for you guys!
