Shaun,

Great playing last night on FTP....I was on the rail watching quietly for the last 27 or so. I was hoping it was going to get down to you and Rizen heads up, but nice 3rd place. I am sure it felt great to have a deep finish after the crap morning sessions.

Have a greta holiday and Merry Christmas!

Justin

Alright now Sunday couldn't have started off worse then I had planned, I was reg for the Sunday brawl on ftp and hoped to be up for the warmup. I just got a new blackberry so I can get use it internationally so anyways at like 7am I am toying with it's alarm making sure I get up in about 5 hours. Set it for 12:20AM then pass out. I wakeup not from my alarm get a bit worried think maybe I just got up before it so I check to see what time it is and see it's already 3:15 I am angry I missed a bunch of good tourneys and whatever I wait for the dead time on sunday and get in a few things. I had a great table draw in the mil get upto 50k pretty easily early then 75k then I play a really goofy hand. A p5er who I met in prague raises in EP which over the last 3 orbits hes played close to 45/35 going from a shortstack to now a 70k stack himself he raises and I have A4s in the BB and 3bet his 2.4x whatever raise to 7x he 4bets me to like 1/3rd of his stack I know if I shove pf he's commited I get the feeling he just is like shauns been watching me raise and win everyhand showing down some super marginal hands so he 3bet me wide and has to fold like everything to my 4bet. If he has AA KK QQ Ak whatever. so I call and decide to go stop go and shove almost anyflop i get what looks like a good one for me 997 with a fd and I put him in for 50k he types in chat about how gay etc I get happy thinking hes folding a better ace or something until he calls with QQ. I got there on the river. Anyways I played really aggro since then and actually didn't even cash no big deal happens a lot.

During this time and my reg other tourneys I decide to play a little 25/50 on UB since I have so few tables. Some guy sits with like 3500 plays pretty bad I get him down to 1500 and then he goes on a sick run to like 12k we battle a lot end up getting about 11k deep. I raise Q3s otb he calls Q96r flop he checks I pot he calls turn Q he checks I pot he calls. River 10x he checks I pot he then shoves. I get really confused he had been calling down a lot I've been spewing a lot and his few river c/r have all been minraises and 2 of them I called and was shown the nuts when he shoved here I was pretty sure I was ahead called but lost to his KJo. I quit right after that quite angry I was now stuck like 20k. I was now tilted pretty bad had a few tourneys left at like 7pm I decided to quite reg for anything new as I would be out of the few I had left soon prob cuz I wasn't playing well. So anyways I start building a stack in the ftp 750k I got really lucky AKs>Ako I went running clubs and another early suckout I couldn't remember. I wasn't playing well but whatever I was going to bubble this tourney and go smoke.

I couldn't bust no matter how hard I tried for the next few hours stack fluctuated a lot had some tough players at my tables. It keep grinding down and I keep my 20-30bb stack then I went on a sick hour where I won like 1 pot i was left with 30k at 2500/5k I shove a hand in CO get the blinds and antees which is huge next hand I shove 7s for 43k bb has AK I fold. I raise/fold next hand and get down to 85k guy opens with 70k stack I find kk and shove he has QQ I hold 150k. Had another huge hand which I forget and a few resteals etc and soon I have 600k and a CL with 4 tables left. I raise AK guy 3bets I jam for aout 30bbs he calls with 10s wins the race for 650k chips I would have had 1mil with 2nd having 450k, but whatever I grind my stack until 2 tables left go card dead again get down to 10bbs. Shoved K10o in HJ with 11.5bbs button with 10bbs has JJ I turn a K get upto 1mil. Now for the gayest hand in the history of tourney poker. utg whose been active opens for like 80k at some weird ftp blind level next guy shoves 210k I have AA otb and 1.1mil effective with first guy. As I am deciding what to raise I click like 350k as I am giving some reasoning for the video I was making. Then I get the whitebox of death. I lose connection on ftp for a few moments by the time I get back my aces were folded and utg had QQ and utg+1 had AJs I would have had 2.5mil chips with 2nd having under 1.5mil with 14 left. That same QQ guy a few hands later has AKo>a fellow wafflercrushers AA which was redic gross. Adam sends me a weeks worth of gross beats for me each sunday it seems in everything huge. This was just one of those days. I coast to ft with same mil chip stack fold for a bit guy shoves 900k in HJ I have KK otb and slightly cover reship and beat his QQ. steal some blinds a few resteals. have like 1.5mil after raising folding folded to sb he shoves about the same amount I have AKo and call and beat his 105o. THat guy busts a little while later. I am cl for abit till rizen gets knocked out vs a guy who flopped top 2 when rizen had an OESD. I get 3 handed with 2 players I know I am better than with a good cl.

I start to really lag it up 3 handed get to like 5.5 6mil chips with about 10mil in play. Sb opens with 30bb bb shoves for 1.7mil which is 15bbs I reshove AQo. Guy has JJ and it holds or else I get hu with 7 to 1 CL or something redic. Anyways a few hand goes by same guy as JJ opens in sb to 2.5x I call in bb wiht 910o flopds A87 with 2 d he bets I raise pretty big and then the whole rail goes wild about saying I have 910 or diamonds or some other draw. It's really redic how they can talk about ranges and such while someones making a decision not sure if it effected the kids dec but after he timed down his whole timebank he stuck it in with QQ no d and it holds for a 6mil pot. I am down to 1.4mil and shove my 14bbs otb with A4s and run into that same guys Ajo 257 flop with 1 of my suit turn 6 river blank and Im out 3rd for like 52500 I was really pissed off at the time I was 2-3 flips away from a huge CL HU . I will look back and be happy I got 3rd but I really just got fucked. The AA timeout hand was awful so much equity from 15% of the chips in play I would of had more. I prob could of raped the ft bubble too with that stack whatever.

Anyways there were also a lot of people crashing at the house due to the xmas party at my dads place so I had to ward off them as I got a 100 questions at first about what I am doing and 4 people over my shoulder watching. Eventually I cleared em out after 20min but the loud drunk talk was still something I would have preferred not to have to deal with.

So I went from my worst sunday ever down like 20-25k on buyins and cashgames to up nearly 30k I was quite happy but sooo close to my first 6figure score. At least I win a propbet with thayer now for yearly rankings on p5.
