      <description><![CDATA[Today I made my quickest exit of the series. I had chipped down to about 3.2k chips by level 2 when I pick up KK utg. I open to 300. The button flat calls. He is an older gentleman who seems to love to slow play his big hands. The flop comes T32r. I bet 500. He makes it 1000. I don't think he has a set here as I would expect him to slow play. But it doesn't really matter since I can't fold this without a super sick read, so I'm just thinking about what the best way is to get the rest of his money in the pot. I think he is most likely to make this raise with a pair of tens or JJ+. I decide to just move in to make sure I get maximum value out of a T before an overcard or flush comes on the board. He instacalls me with AA and my day is over.

I went downstairs after that and sat in the 10/20 NL game with a 2k stack. Things started out pretty wild when I play the first two hands and get bluffed the first hand by a guy who turns out to be pretty crazy. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[Today started out pretty boring. I wasn't getting dealt any hands in good situations, so I was basically just watching everyone else play. Luckily no one in these things pays attention to how tight you are playing. In the beginning of the 50/100 level, I have 2600 chips left. There are 2 limpers to me in the SB and I look down at QQ. The first limper has about the same stack as me. I make it 450 and just the first limper calls. The flop comes J85 2 hearts. I bet 750, leaving around 1500 behind. The girl starts staring at me, trying to read my soul. After a minute or so she moves allin and I quickly call. She has 54 of diamonds and doesn't improve. I don't play many more pots this level and end it with 4500 chips.

When we start the 75/150 level the BB is still not back at this seat. It folds to the guy on my right and he makes it 500. I have 99 in the CO and decide to 3 bet and call a shove - we both have about the same starting stack. I make it 1500 folds back to him and he folds. [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[I arrived in LA Sunday night and played the 2.5k tournament yesterday. I started out on a really good table with a lot of people who didn't seem to be very good at this game. As an example, early in the 25/50 level there is a limper UTG and an older gentleman makes it 300 from utg+1. The BB calls and the limper folds. The flop comes Qd7d6h. The BB checks and then utg+1 instantly moves all in for 5000 total. The BB starts tanking and finally makes the hero call with QdJh, the older man has AQ and BB gets knocked out.

Unfortunately I didn't have much luck accumulating chips early. One interesting hand I played also took place at the 25/50 level. The old man from AQ hand limps utg. There are two more limpers including the button. I complete the SB with 8d7d. BB checks and the flop comes 8c7h4s. I lead out for 200, the bb folds and the AQ gentleman makes it 700. I'm pretty overpairs to the board are a very large portion of his utg limping range that raises me on this flop. [[ This is a content summary only.
