Hey guys,

I said that the next time something interesting happened i would keep you updated.As im sure all of you know, on saturday on FTP there was a 5k buyin two day 6max tourney with 30min blind levels(amazing structure) and 2.5mill guarantee.I ended up having probably THE best tournament of my life.

At the end of day 1 i had 78k at 800 1600 and being 16/35 so i will still in pretty good shape.The last hand of day one i lost a big pot to below above(i woulda had 110k+ if that hand didnt happen) got AQo in small blind, he opened i repopp he flated flop Jxx he had QJ i lead he flatted, turn blank i check he checked, river K and i lead and he timebanked and called so that was a horrible way to end my day and i was pretty choked.

I woke up sunday and was pretty nervous, since this was a huge tournament. I was really excited but a little shaky, so i started off thinking that i would just play solid and tight for a while, but actually what happened is that i just immediately went into playing my game 3 betting and 4betting people with marginal hands and then won a big toss (my 88 held against AK) and within 5 minutes i was up to 155k and was off to a great start.

From there i just kept rolling, never got in any allins and just running over everyone and playing great.I ended up playing solidly the whole way and eventually losing Q10 to A9 at the final table for around 50bbs and ended up coming 5th for 137,500.At the time i was disappointed because i wanted the win obviously but a couple hours after i was really happy, was on a really really dry slump and that just made everything better.

I really loved playin this tournament because unlike other tournaments, it was just amazingly set up.I honestly got in 2 tosses the whole tournament, i won 88 against AK semi deep and thne lost Q10 to A9 as my last hand.I had one small suckout allin pre semi deep my KQ against QQ for around 20bbs(22k) and i had 110k behind so it meant nothing, i was NEVER at risk for my tourney life allin pre since 60 120 where i held AK against AQ for 17k, ever since then i was never allin for my tournament, and never tosses and just played my game and continued chipping up, i had around 100/200bbs+ througout the whole tournament and it was just a pleasure to play.

Unlike other tournaments in this tournament it didnt even require you to run well.I honestly ran average or worse then average throughout the whole tournament but it just didnt matter, i also ran AKcc into below aboves AA with 4tables left for a huge pot but i just recovered and kept 3betting and chipping up from there and got my chips back within half an hour.So it was just a pleasure to play and extremely enjoyable and a huge confidence booster for my game.Thank you to everyone who railed me, i really appreciate everyones support and gl at the tables(by the way i lost my chat on ftp for now thanks to michael craig, i didnt even do anything wrong or say anything bad we were just having an argument and he had me banned which is ridiculous, i have made an honest effort to be nothing but classy at the tables and is frustrating to get banned for doing nothing).Either way thought i will see you guys at the tables.

Purp
