Quake relief !

Pokerstars are offering an easy way to donate money to the China Quake
relief fund. 3 good reasons to do so

1. The damage caused by the chinese earthquake has already killed
thousands of ppl, and ppl there need all the help they can, not to mention
the pandas !

2. Making payments have never been so easy , just do an online transfer !

3. Pokerstars match ur donation $ for $ so ur actually donating twice as much.!!

WSOP Event #3 - $1500

Had a table with a few well known players on there, seemed
to be a bit impatient to start off with, down from 3k to 1500.
Then started playing better picking good spots, got up to 2500.

On the break one of the players said y i didnt want to play
full stack against him online at 25-50NL, i said coz its
easier and u dont have to concentrate so much.

Back from break pick up AA raise early pos, bb re-raises pot,
he has to call when i push and he has 4s, up to 5k

Win some ok pots up to 7500.

Then perhaps i mess this up but i got check raised on turn
jd-4-3d-6d all in, didnt think he had a flush, i had 3s , and
i called his flop bet. He had 6s , damn. Down to 500 chips
2s lost to ak , none from one. At least i got off to an ok start
but sometimes theres nothing u can do.

Tomorrow is the $1k rebuy

LAPT - Costa Rica
So i ended coming 34th (out of almost 400) money 32nd , so rigged ! It
was disapointing coz i sucked out twice with QQ v KK on day 1, the 2nd
time for my tournament life, did lose some other races, but certainly
luck was on my side. Ended up on 60k from a starting stack of 10k so
well placed. Luck continued on key races in day 2 and was up to about
100k playing pretty well. Then it all went pear shaped in the space
of an hour. Lost a pot with 9s v BB who bluffed me with AQ, i played
that hand badly. Then had a4 on k428 board i bet flop and he apparenly
floated the flop with a10 and pushed me off on the turn.

On the bubble q9 made a flush against my 8s and that was it. Oh well ,
few lessons learnt.

On a side note some of the girls in costa rica are so hot, I would have
to fold hands so not to break my gaze.

Got 5 or so days to travel around costa rica..

FTOPS

so i cashed in quite a few of the FTOPS events, and made it to the last
2 tables of the big one, $2500 buyin , $500K for first. Unfortunately
everything i tried backfired on day 2 tho i won a few races, until my
8s lost to KQ. Thought i played well, but still really disapointing, then
made a ridiculous play in the FTOPs main event, and went to bed.
Apparently im in the top 20 FTOPS players, doesnt seem right, i dont
event know if ive made a final table.

off to costa rica to play the LAPT...
