In addition to a 33rd place finish in the Pokerstars Sunday Hundred Grand and some other deep cashes, grinding $12/180 turbos on stars has been going really well. These tourneys are known to be high variance and can be really frustrating when not running good. However, they are easily beatable long term and I have had good overall results. I'm up over $2k overall for April so I hope to continue this run going into WSOP-C in New Orleans.



Coincidentally, I am not really bankrolled for the WSOP-C $500+50 event I am playing May 9 so if anyone would like to make a one-time staking arrangement I would be interested. I finished 3rd in the event in November but unfortunately had bills to pay with my winnings.

After 6 hours of play I just finished 33rd in the Stars Sunday hundred grand. Only $334, but at least it's paid for all the Sunday 100k lotterys I've played before.

At the same time I was deep in the $10r. With around 50 left I get the dumbest beat of the day:

I'm continuing a good run at Full Tilt. I've been playing almost all $11 turbo STT during this stretch but also final tabled a large donkament. Grinded my initial $200 deposit up to $900 in about 3 1/2 weeks. The results of the last 80 games are clearly not sustainable, I'm sure variance will bite me in the ass soon.



I think I'll grind STT until mid-April and then switch to MTT in preparation for the WSOP Circuit event in New Orleans on May 9.

Pokerstars was on the fritz again last night so I loaded up $100 on AP to play some small stakes donkaments. First one I play is the nightly $5r which had 109 players in. I take it down for around $430. Nice little shot to the bankroll. The final table had pretty mediocre players, I knew as long as I didn't get unlucky I had a good shot at taking it down. Ran well obv, my big hands held up and I won 2 key coinflips.

I will try to get the HH on PXF for an official thread review on 2+2.

Just finished 2nd in a stars $4/180. I've played a lot of these and this is my best finish. Unfortunately I am not happy with my heads up play at all. First hand of heads up my QQ > 55 and I held a 5 to 1 chip lead. I made some loose calls IMO trying to end it and ended up losing with KQ < A3. I'll be posting some of my hands on 2+2 for analysis but my own analysis is that my heads up play was pretty crappy. I've been running terribly since loading on pokerstars but this puts me almost even. Hopefully I can learn from this and plug some leaks for later.
