Secrets of the Amateurs

Or, how to have a $30K week and still be disappointed :-). I finished 2nd in the Ongame "Big Deal" on Sunday for $22.5K (and some ranking points lol), that was pretty sweet, also 2nd in a $100 tournament on there for $3K on Thursday. Then yesterday I had a really good run in FTOPS #15, the six-handed NL. I sucked out quite a lot early on (to the point where I was advised to "run better, clown" by another disgruntled loser with AK), flopped a set of Kings against KQ to double up, and had a bunch more chips thrown at me with QQ when someone elected to 4-bet shove on me with 86 (causing him to be 86'd from the tournament haha).

After that I don't think I played especially well but I hung around to the last two tables before losing a 600K flip with AQ v 88 and finishing 11th for $3500. Not to worry, I think I've won my share of flips in those spots over the last year, more than my share probably. I also FT'd on Party for $3K more to add up to a great week. Just one thing about the FTOPS, if anyone wished me gl from the rail and I didn't say anything, sorry, but while I have player chat on most of the time now I always have observer chat off, I don't like to call people retards but honestly the bottom-dwellers on FT who rail these things ... Anyway, onwards and upwards, once these points are counted I should be knocking around the top 5 on IPOY which is something to be getting on with.
