Pretty frustrating to play so long and get so little, but it's better than no cash at all. i would like to see some key hands for you. Were there hands that you didn't feel you play optimally or that you have your doubts about?

I didn't make any major mistakes. The stuff I doubted ended up being a couple of hands where I opened preflop and got reraised, and I had to give away chips in spots I didn't want to.

I also ran a couple big bluffs, but I thought they were fine, even though one worked and one didn't.

Keep on plugging. Did you play in yesterday's $1k?

Yeah. I was going to write about it, but I busted 45 minutes in when I got 15k in at 50/100 with KK vs AKs, which I didn't think was very interesting.

Hi, Nath. Good IMing today. I didn't mention that I was online on Sunday and was going to sweat you a bit. Must have just missed your 'not very interesting hand.'

Simple hand:

50/100 blinds. UTG limps. UTG+1 raises to 425. I have KhKs on the button and make it 1500. Folds to him and he immediately shoves 15k in, which tells me he doesn't have aces, so I call.

He turns over AKdd.

Flop is AT6 with two spades.

Turn is Qs giving me 12 outs.

River is another 6.

And that's it.

How much does one usually spend on a $200r tourney? Probably more than my house note. I think I am about to vomit.

Good Luck.

Another cash in today's WCOOP (#9 - the $200 rebuy). I finished like 143 out of 2600 and some. Not especially interesting or worth the time (I played nearly 10 hours to cash for slightly more than 2x what I spent) but it does make me 2-for-2 cashing in WCOOP events so far, and I'm optimistic about that.

You may have seen Bond18 post a review of my hand history from the 50k win. I will be answering those questions soon.

I'll put up the hand histories from the last two WCOOP events soon, too. I think I'm playing well in these tournaments.
