On Saturday I went to Commerce around noon and played 10/20 NL. It went well, there wasn't really a whole lot of action, but I felt like I played well in a few medium sized pots and I ended up $1100 in about 5 hours.
Today (sunday) there was a very good lineup of online tournaments. I played in 9 and cashed in 4 of them. I got pretty deep in the poker stars $100 with unlimited rebuys, but busted out in 16th when I got AA all in preflop vs. KQ. That really sucked. 1st place was worth 51k, and 16th was $2200. Even more disappointing was the ending to the Full Tilt $2 million tournament. This is one of the biggest online tournaments of the year where the winner gets about .5 million, 2nd in 276k, and so on. I busted out around 140th out of 6000 or so. When the chip average was about 80k I got all in with QQ vs. AK for 300k in chip. I lost that coinflip and was left with like 90k in chips. I still had a decent chance, but if I had won that and had 400k in chips I would have been 2nd in chips with about 200 left and I would have really liked my chances. Instead, I went through the blinds a couple times and then went all in when everyone folded to me on the button with 99. The small blind woke up with QQ, and I cashed for about 2k.
I netted about 2500 today and was pretty close to a big score in 2 of my 9 tournaments. I think I'm playing well right now and having a very good month so far. I am about 90% sure that I'm going to play in the LAPC main event next saturday. This is a World Poker Tour event and first place is always well over $1 million, and I'm pretty sure it's over $2 million. I think it will be a fun tournament so why not give it a shot.
