So 10% available for $10.90 or 2 X lots of 5% for $5.45 to whoever posts here first.

Thanks guys.

lol - I missed this post.

we'll have so much fun splitting that $1.55!

I'm not fazed though bud.

Got over any potential tilt issues long ago - you can only control your own actions - the rest will happen as it happens.

However I am happy that this is a 100MTT stake and not like an 8 MTT stake!

2.2 5K - was down to around 20k after a few badly timed plays and aggressive playback when making blind steal attempts but have got back up to 34K stack at 800/1600/150

dropped a bit to 24K stack with AQs<44 - played it a bit passively as I didn't want to commit too much to a pot with air - kept it small

edit: thinking a bit about this hand later I think I misplayed it - there were overs to his 44 and check called the flop - I think if I can insert the check/raise here I take it down - a lesson learned

busted 2.2 5K in 85th/3231 for small cash of $9.69. This guy had been very active, standard big stack limping a lot. limp calling raises with speculative hands. Thought it was a good chance to take down pot with a fold or if he called I expected to be ahead. Not this time:

So far the games played sits as follows:

Tourneys played: 11
Total Buy-Ins: $28.60
Total itm: 2
Total of Cashes: $11.24
ABI: $2.60

Felt pretty good all day tbh. Got a little unlucky at times, fortunate at others. Made a couple of probably low buy in plays like the AK shove from the big blind that was commented on, but I say in the heat of the battle certain unconventional plays seem to be the correct to make and I don't feel too bad about it. Like the AA shove at post #68 above, you just get all sorts playing a bit of bingo and I am happy to go in as a big favourite early to build a great starting stack.

Obviously the $2.20 5K was my best chance and I made a couple of plays I probably regret but that's with hindsight and nothing else. The bustout hand I am totally OK with given the circumstances against that particular player.

Not playing now till the SCOOP ME on Monday morning 7:00 am my time (AEST).

I will update this thread with follow ups to the 2 payments I am yet to receive for that and then be back to update for that tourney obviously.
