4/21--4/22/07

Played a lot of MTTs over the weekend, trying to continue my goal of improving my play and cashing in some. Unfortunately, I didn't cash in a single one. I played a total of 6 tournys and lost $214. lol donkaments, etc.

Sure enough, my play on Full Tilt 100nl 6max would cover my losses. I played 670 hands, 2 hours and 10 minutes, and won $304, running at 15.3/12.9/3.9. It would have been more had I hit this huge draw I had:

My biggest pot of the weekend was a fairly interesting one I think. This guy had TAG stats so my only guess is he entirely leveled himself. I didn't let the Ace on the turn change my plan for the hand, which was to c/c the flop and lead any turn. It was a scary card, as he could certainly have AK in this spot, but I put him on a smaller pair to begin with, and stuck to my plan, and was right. Here's the hand:

Overall I'm glad I actually made money for the weekend, considering how much time and money I spent on MTTs. I profited $90 for the two days.
