week recap, 1k tourney recap

welly well well have i got some news for you guys. so i guess ill just start with my week recap. this week has been mediocre at best after running pretty well for the first two and a half weeks or so im starting to get a little downswing varriance going on. i was already expecting it so no suprise but yeah so im going through that right now. im still up 5800 from cash games this month so hopefully i can round out the month with out getting bit to much more. yesterday was probablly the worst although i only lost 1 buyin i felt like i played like crap. i ran a bluff and got picked off wich made me start second guessing myself and i had to post the hand on 2+2 so i could get beratted for my hatchet job. after that hand i tried bluff catching a decent player who ended up making a flush on the river and i called cause i didnt see the third spade ouchh, just stupid mistakes its good it was only 500 and not like 3 buyins or anything like that. i didnt run any game this week cause i had the tourney today and i wanted to get into some of the side action and try and sleep early on saturday night which i did a horrible job doing. so no results there

so that leaves us with the tournament. this was a really good tournament it was 20k starting stack with 45 minute rounds, blinds started at 50/100 and went up slow for the first 3 rounds. it also drew a crowd of 108 players with 25k added so first place was right around 50k i think. so to start the tourney i had a pretty difficult table the 3 players to my left i could tell were internet tags with the 3rd one being the looser of the 3 but not too loose. then seats 4,5 were older guys seat 6 was a decent player who went deep in both the previous days events, seat 7 was another older guy and seat 8 was the looser guy out of the table and i could tell he was the guy that would get into tough spots and i was in seat 9. i didnt get much going on for the first few levels and i was able to stay around the 20k starting stack with a 3bet squeeze bluff and i made a set and got a little money from that but not much. after that it was a little dead and i had 3 major hands that decided my fate the first one went like this. blinds were 100/200 i was utg with 55 and raised to 500 one of the mp old guys called and everyone else folded. flop was A 4 6 i checked and he checked turn was another 6 i bet 1000 and he raised another 1000 i couldnt see him check raising with an Ace and the possibility of him having a 6 was low especially since i had two 5s meaning that took away a couple 56 combos so i called. the river was another Ace and i lead out for 2500 and he called and showed 56 for 6s full. the next hand that i was featured in was that everyone folded to me in the sb with 8 10 of hearts. the blinds were at 200/400 and i raised to 1000 and the bb was one of the decent tags and called. the flop came 7 5 7 no hearts i check and he checks. the turn is a 6 giving me a double gutshot so i bet 1400 and he calls the river was a Q and i bet 3500 and he shoved and i folded and he showed quad 7s. i guess it was good my straight didnt come. the last hand i was involved in was at 200/400 with a 25 ante one of the mp older guys raised to 1200, the decent player in seat 6 called and everyone folded to me in the bb and i had AKss i only had like 18bbs left so i shoved and mp folded and seat 6 thaught for a bit and called. i figured since he was thinking he had a pair. he showed JJ and the flop came 8 8 J the turn was and A and the river was a blank giving him a full house and ended my tourney. i felt how i played was ok it was just the times i ran a decent bluff the people actually had somthing and after that i didnt have much going. and that rounded out my week. im taking the rest of the day off since this week hasnt been so hot and im just going to take it easy. also next week will probablly be a slow week poker wise cause im going to try and get some maintanence done to my truck so we'll see how that goes.
either.

on a side note though i calculated my winrate and im making 29 dollars an hour, and some change so pretty close to 30$ an hour. its only 270 hours so far which comes out to 9k-10k hands so yeah not a huge sample but an ok one for live. after a couple more months my winrate will be more defined with more hands so i recalculate it along the way. so heres to pissing away this last week and stay tuned till next time cosmonauts

p.s. if anyone has any thaughts on the hands that i posted i would like to hear your thaughts or any thaughts on play at all :)
