Just minor losses and fewer wins for fifty hands here, then I picked up J
Re-bought and laid low again for forty hands. Got Q
Nothing else really dramatic. I did manage to draw out 19BB from a pair of jacks by weak-playing some aces. I didn’t quite manage to make my original buy-in back.

23 minutes, 81 hands. -80BB.
Skimmed along at the break-even point for most of this first game after the news of Black Friday broke. Only one win or loss greater than 6BB for eighty hands. Then, in the BB, I had 2
I still had about 4BB left but that went away on the next hand.
21 minutes, 88 hands. -80BB.
Got down more than two-and-a-half buy-ins in this last outing on the Rush tables for who knows how long. Managed to gain a little back with T
39 minutes, 169 hands. -39BB.
Full Tilt $2,500 Rush Guarantee (1,500 chips)
The first thing I noticed on this tournament is that the guarantee has been dropped from its usual 10K to a quarter of that. Why am I playing it? How am I playing it? Apparently, the software updates haven’t caught up to me yet by this time Friday eventing. As for why, if the money’s just sitting there on Full Tilt, why not? It’s not like I’ll be able to get it any time soon.
I’m down to 1,365 after a few minutes, with K
I go all-in with 720 and K

Popped into this right after getting out of Marvelous. Briefly got up 15BB but got pushed back under even with Q

Flirted with the wrong side of even, then walked into a flush with 4
10 minutes, 12 hands. 6%ROI.
Another every other week, another mixture of wacky games. Lost one re-buy almost immediately in a huge Omaha pot. Ended up down for the night.

Full Tilt Satellite to the $200K Double Deuce (1,500 chips)
Two of the players at my initial table were eliminated in the third hand by the guy on my left, then a couple hands later I falled him down to the river with a pair of jacks and took over 600 chips from him when his busted straight was exposed. He got moved to a new table right after that and I was left as chip leader for a bit with 2,700 chips.
Got J
There were seven players at the new table; I was in third place behind stacks of 7,500 and 5,250, with another stack about my size and the other three running from 1,000 to 2,600. Got 7

Full Tilt .NET Onyx Cup – Round 1 (1,500 chips)
Spent some of my FTP points buying into the entry level of the Onyx Cup ladder. Given the way things went at the end of last week, I guess it’s all for the best that I didn’t get too far and get very invested in the process.
13 minutes, 15 hands. Placed 118th of 360.
Full Tilt .NET Onyx Cup – Round 1 (1,500 chips)
Five minutes after the first attempt. I’m back. This one’s more brutal than the last as pocket aces suck me down fast.
3 minutes, 4 hands. Even so I was 243rd of 360.
Full Tilt Satellite to the $200K Double Deuce (1,500 chips)
Fifth hand got me off to a quick start with K
Took a huge hit not long thereafter with T

Full Tilt $1 Main Event Satellite (1,500 chips)
If I can’t get to the WSOP through the home league POY, I thought I’d try the even more difficult path through a massive qualifier (via FTP point buy-in). Another tournament without much traction, went out with A
17 minutes, 18 hands.
Full Tilt Round 1 Freeroll (1,500 chips)
Wanted to build my bankroll up and I really hadn’t been taking advantage of the freerolls. Got off to a great start on the first hand with J

A lacklustre showing here, I feel. I did briefly get up as high as 8K, but was quick to lose that and get knocked back down to about 4K. My J
46 minutes, 44 hands. 31st of 90.
Never got ahead at all here. Three hands near the end wiped out my buy-in: Q
