Full Tilt Crestline Gate

I’m up, I’m down, I’m up, I’m down, I get J♦ J♥ and get busted by a backdoor flush.

Full Tilt Flash

285 hands per hour. Is that too many? I play for 16 minutes, I hit 17.5BB/100 but I’ve been underwater most of the time.

Full Tilt Mach 10

I never manage to get above even over 12 minutes and a double-ended flush draw on the flop goes nowhere to knock me out.

Full Tilt Midnight Madness! (1,500 chips)

My first hand and I can’t resist going all-in with K♦ T♦ on a flop of 6d 4c 5d]. Of course no more diamonds show and the best I have is a match to my ten on the river against pocket queens. I buy in with another entry and try to play it a bit close to the vest but when people are beating your K♠ 9♠ with 6♠ T♦, it’s time to hang it up. OK, maybe I deserved to lose pushing with my 9♠ 9♥ on a J♠ 6♦ 6♥ board, but not to J♦ 7♣.

Had a couple of successes but I was determined not to suffer the fate of my brash Madness! attempts. Unfortunately, after flopping a king-high straight in my first half-hour the cards dried up and I was blinded off from 4,000 down to about 2,500 over most of the course of my 100 minutes of play. A large stack with A♥ J♥ put paid to my A♠ 5♠ and another player’s A♣ K♣ in one swoop.

I got into this half an hour in, at the 30/60 level but half the field had been eliminated already. That made the top stacks a bit difficult to catch but potentially my standing was closer to the money. I think that was probably an illusion though. Got knocked out with 8♥ T♥ in my hand and A♥ 5♥ K♥ on the flop. Guy to my left had 9♥ Q♥ for the nut flush.

First out. Straight got me.

Full Tilt Step 1

Slow and steady wins the Step 2 ticket. I need to figure out what I’m doing here that I’m not doing elsewhere.
