Ga ga ga garinding!

Well, its day 4 of my trip and things are going okay. I got here Friday and played Day 1b of the $365 300k and made it to day2 with 107k. After qualifying for Day 2 I played some cash Friday night and then played cash Saturday but neither cash session went very well. Sunday I turned my 107k into 450k in the first two levels of day 2. I then went down to 300k and back to 450k over the next several hours.

Then, I came back from break with a little over 440k when playing 7k/14k 2k and had back to back hands where I had to fold. In both hands I 2x opened and got a caller in pos and then the BB called as well. Both hands I C-bet and the caller in pos folded but the BB check-raises. So in two hands I go from 440k to 300k making what I felt was good lay downs. I then went into short-stack ninja mode for a while but was knocked out in 16th. The last level was rough as I was trying to get it in but never had a hand within the shove chart I could get it in with without having action in front of me permitting me to play. Overall I am happy with my play and feel I did what I could. Obviously there may have been a play or two I might have made different, but not many and I am continuing to improve.

Today I played the $365 25k at noon and got off to a decent start before losing a 25k chip pot at 100/200. I flopped two pair and got in verse an over pair but it ran out a flush for him. #ontothenextone Tomorrow I am playing another $365 25k and then the 500k starts Friday.

Tonight its BCS Championship time. I am watching the game and relaxing. I may head out to the casino and grind some cash after but not sure. Good luck to everyone playing, make sure you are focusing on making good decisions.
