Heads up tourneys and Thursdays seem to be the ticket. I won one two weeks ago, and again tonight:
This one took one extra match, 8 in all, as I didn't get the bye. I was reviewing the tournament hand histories, an interesting that I was never really behind in any of my matches. I ran pretty well I guess. There were the usual brutal hands, but in this case, none that crippled me, or hurt me too bad. If anything, it kept my opponents in the game.
Then of course there was this hand in the semi-final match, which gave me that 'oh no' feeling, but I was able to get past this. The dude tried getting cute with his aces, and limped preflop:
Fulltilt concluded its millionth FTOPS this past weekend. I played in 3 or 4 events, with not much (read - nothing!) to show for it. Mostly got in on the power of those crack-like super turbo's, which I am freaking addicted to. For yesterday's FTOPS knockout event, I actually won 3 of those in a row.....and on Saturday, I won back to back seats for the $500 heads up. For that one, I unregistered and took the T dollars.
I was watching the final table of the $5000 2 day FTOPS event last night. When it got 3 handed, this kid PureCash25, had the lead. Then this hand came up:
I didn't get the 20x open, given these guys had been playing 2.5 opening raise, other than maybe it was some kind of misclick? as deep as they were, it had to be. But talk about a setup....amak gets queens, reads the kid's bet as a misclick and shoves. Pretty freaking amazing to have it come to that, after playing 2 days!
