Becoming a tourney donk.

Well not exactly but over the past week i have been playing mainly tournaments. I haven't exactly been playing a ton of poker this week but have had some decent results in a few tournaments. I really think my tournament game is getting better by the day but i just don't think tournaments are for me. Ive had 3 pretty deep runs in tournaments over the past few days but once again I'm left disappointed going out just before the final tables. Last night i played in the stars 300 dollar Wednesday which paid like 40k for first and paid the top 60 players out of around 600. I busted out in 20th place which did pay like 1100 or something but its really starting to get frustrating that i cant close the deal in one of these or at least final table it. Anyways I'm getting ready to head to harsens island for the night/maybe weekend just thought i would give a quick update on the disappointing week in poker. Not to sure when the next time i play or post is going to be so check back in a few days and I'm out.

p.s. - anyone who wants to get owned on some 200 dollar coin flips let me know haaha.(drunken mess) cliff notes- really wasted at like 5 in the morning me and my friend(we'll keep his name anonymous) started off doing 50 dollar coin flips which ended in me winning 600 on the night. I really out played him by picking heads every time haha.

Sunday= me playing donkaments(tournaments) all day

I just busted out of my final tournament of the day but i was very close to having a big day. Altogether on the day i played a total of 4 tournaments but only cashed in 1 of them. The four tournaments that i played in today were the 215 Sunday million, 55 6 handed, 109 3k in chips, and the 215 2nd chance for a total of around 600 in buy ins. I was playing really well in all the tournaments but took 2 really sick beats that knocked me out of the 55 and the 215. 1st bad beat, i get it all in preflop against 2 other players who have JJ and ak and the flop was K107 a good flop for my kings, sure enough the turn is a 8 and the river is a 9 giving the jacks a running straight haha. Needless to say i wasn't very happy about this because i wouldve been the chip leader of the whole tournament but instead i was out. I built up some pretty big stacks in all four of the tournaments and really think i would've did some damage if i would've got a few all ins to hold up. The tournament that i did manage to cash in was the 215 Sunday and luckily for me this is the largest tournament on the net. There were about 7000 players all putting up 215 with first place paying a nice 190k and it paid the top 1080 players. I really played well the whole tournament but ended up busting out in 92nd place. Overall i am very happy with my play in the tournament but I'm not going to lie the 192,000 would've been just a little nicer than the 1,800 i got for 92nd. I was really hoping that this was going to finally be my big score but as long as i keep getting myself deep into tournaments i will bust through eventually. I ended up making around 1200 on the day which is pretty nice compared to some of the other Sunday's i have had. Well I've been playing in the tournament since 4 and I'm pretty sick of sitting in front of the computer so check back tomorrow and I'm out.

P.S.- I am going to try and finish up the last week of my bodog goal . I haven't played on there at all over the past 3 weeks but i think i have like 2500 on there or something so we will see how high i can get that back up to in the next week.
