Will review some of these spots and be ready for them this next week. Next set of games are on Sunday.

Day 2 underway shortly. Reviewed some hands, watched some vids, and life balanced... ready for a good run today

break update: Had to fire a couple bullets in #1, will sort later

PowerFest (PF) #1-m: 152/1275
PF#2-m: starting now

Busted PF#1, lost heaps AA<56o... rivered straight. Then jammed A5dd over a loose opened, but he snapped with 88 & we didnt get there. Plenty of games tonight though

unfortunately we bricked tonight. We had some near cashes, but couldn't win flips where they counted.

This hand sums up how the night went:

These PLO streets are tough tonight... Let's fire and see what sticks

Just a couple small cashes tonight. I'm exhausted will post later... has been disappointing showing thus far.

Yesterday we got a single KO for $13 and min cashed for $44. Really hasn't been going our way, but we have several more games.

Tonight I am leaning toward skipping 888 #14 ($160) as they dropped the gtd from 40K to 30K and 888 has been a little laggy. Will add those funds to the BR and add in some mid-stakes daily events to increase our chances to make this profitable. I will post a schedule which games will be played in place of #14.

Tonight we have a few more...

AJs<AQo for heaps vs. table whale, then rest (7bb) aipf A7 vs. mp open... rivered str8. GG Party #9M

up and down in the Party #9L, then got last 15bb aipf with 99.... run into AA.

still grinding #10L PKO.

On a side note, I've seen some of the worst poker being played in this series. RNG is favoring fish plays and rewarding them. I'm starting to think that RNG is set to distribute funds to fun players in low to mid-stakes during series. I would like to adjust and play terrible so I can run like Jesus... And it's hard to flop nuts to collect their stacks.

Ok back at it again tonight. I ended up skipping 24 Jan (Wednesday).

Have a few on deck, hope to report back a deep run.

Adding 3x $55 on Party to replace the 888 $160 MTT skipped. Counterpunch, Brawl, and PowerFest 22M.

faaack... poker is brutal. ITM within reach in $215, we flop set 6s on 69Ar flop... we c/c, turn is 8... we c/r to commit villain. We call his jam only to see AA. We got P'wnd

Sunday has been off and running for a bit now. It is do or die this Sunday...

I hope to only report good news. Like 34/350 in Party 23-M, 228 ITM, $22K up top. Why not us winning it, amirite?!

Don't think I've busted anything yet so everything is still live atm.

Break Update... We busted a few, to include a disappointing MegaDeep. Still have 5 big MTTs remaining.

Powerfest 23-M, 22/95 ITM. Playing for $22K

Middling stacks and not near $$$ in the other 4... yet.

down to final 4 tables... 31/55 in Powerfest 23-M

Powerfest 25-L 709/1505
888 Mini-Main 409/705, very tough table
888 Micro Main 142/1290

Long way to go in these.

Out of Mini Main AK<88

Out of 25-L Ah5d c/r ai on 23Thhh flop... snapped AT for top 50 stack

Guess I need to ship 23-M
edit, break update... 30/35. Gonna need to spin it up or get lucky once to win this thing

***, GG... open CO with 24ish BBs with A3o, BU raises (slightly covers), folds back to us. I have given villain credit twice before so looks like he is tempting to exploit. We shove over. He tank calls with 77.

$577 consolation prize

One tabling the 888 #34 Micro Main.

Ok, so you're saying there is still a chance....

2/635 In Micro Main. $11K up top

ITM of the Micro Main... 25/250

We have to run better if we want a FT

Looks like this pack finished with $802. We bricked so hard during the week after nearly FT the first night. Funny thing about some of these packs I run is that it's always a sweat until the end... I think psychologically I feel like this is "it" and "now or never!" so I end up making plays that maybe I wouldnt ordinarily. That's just a guess.

Anyways... I'm exhausted and since most (not all) paid via PayPal I would like to have a clear head this week (Monday or Tuesday) to get it all sorted out.
