Day #24/ 1st real session since Vegas

Today i finally managed to get together a session that was longer than 2 hours. I played for about 8 hours and had some pretty good results to show for it. I played about 4 hours of cash games seeing around 600 hands and the other 4 hours was in a tournament. The cash games i played were 3 tables of 5/10 nl and 2 tables of 10/20nl on stars. I played pretty well in the 5/10 games and picked up some big hands for some nice pots and in the 10/20 i played well on one table but bad on another. I am pretty mad about the 10/20 because the table i did bad on was really soft and i just wasn't able to get anything going on there. I quit playing cash games around 8 to watch the red wings game and Lost but decided to get in a 20 dollar heads up tourney. I really got in this tourney just kind of as a joke and kind of just something to do while sitting on the couch watching TV. There were 189 people in the tournament and it paid the top 32 players. Spots 32-16 only made like 50 and 16-8 paid like 110 so in my mind it would really be pointless unless i finished in the top 8. Top prize was like 980 and second was 540 then spots 5-8 got paid 250. So with that being said i ended up taking 2nd overall but really really really wanted to take the first. I guess its ok to make while killing time watching tv though haha. That was probably the worst competition i have faced in a long time though, it was like i was playing against monkeys haha. Anyways i am going to get some sleep and hope to get together another good session tomorrow I'm out. Here are some hands from today but it sucks i don't have the final hand of the tourney because i played on my laptop.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?804162 - this guy was playing pretty poorly so once that flop hit i was praying he had a big over pair and he did. The rest explains itself.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804165 - trying to pick up the blinds here but at the same time i make this raise with big hands too. Once the flop hits i represent at least ak in this spot and unless someone has ak i get away with it.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804180 - Here i think i am value betting the river and get check raised where i make a bad call i guess. I thought he had ak in this spot and put me on ak as well so just tried to take it instead of splitting the pot with me and i was wrong.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804186 - here is how u snap off AA haha. No but really the preflop reraise threw me but once he bet the 150 on the flop i know he has a big pair here. So i figure i have 9 outs and if i hit one of them i am going to bust him so i call the flop. Now the 9 on the turn is a really good card for me because it now gives me 13 outs. So once he bets the 300 out on the turn i thought about check raising but at this point i know i am going to be called so there is no real point. So i just call and if i miss the river i check and fold but i hit my card and push hoping for a call and i get one.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804193 - pretty nice pot here for a 5/10 table and i find a way to not get rivered.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804196 - rivered.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804199 - this guy just makes a nice bet on the turn which i can not call. I know his play and his bet on the flop just screamed of some type of draw so I have him on a club draw and raise to 330. He calls and once the club hits i am done with the hand. He made a nice play but i was right about him being on a draw on the flop so if the club doesnt hit the turn and say a blank like a 2 of hearts comes it wouldve been very interesting to see what he wouldve done then.

Daily total- 2,302.45

Total needed- 26,485.18
