Final Tabled $20r, Final Two Tabled 17k

I got home super late and decided I wasn't going to play poker and just hang out with my roommates and play video games. There is this really interesting game on the PS3 called WarHawk that my roommate plays a ton and I'm starting to enjoy. Its easy to learn I guess (just a standard third-person shooter) but difficult to master (different weapons, ground vehicles, air vehicles). Its gonna take forever to learn and be somewhat decent -- so until then it sucks. I didn't last very long lol and after a few hours retreated to play poker.

I signed up for 3 events and went super deep in 2 of the 3. Fwiw, in the third one, I got coolered getting KK in versus AA on a dry flop.

But I managed to Final Table the $20r w/ $11k Guarantee as well as reach the final two tables of the $24 $17k. In total I made about $1.6k on the night.

I'm really tired to recap the night. I don't understand how professional poker players who blog do this. Maybe doing once a day is a bit too much tbh. We'll see if I reduce things to every other day or third day or week idk.

I really feel like my tournament game is just clicking right now. There is still so much I need to learn though which is really motivating for me.

For example, I had another +cEV but -$EV decision today. This was the bust hand of the Final Table.

I had 77 in SB and 3bet really aggressive guy OTB, who set me all in. Meh. Its probably +cEV but not +$EV seeing how the BB had like 10BB and was probably a few hands from busting, and also noting that differece between 3rd and 2nd was like $500 extra dollars. But I ended up calling and not being able to hold versus his ATcc.

Learn something new everyday. Its crazy looking back at myself as a player and seeing how much I've developed, even just month after month.

Hopefully things continue to run really well for me until FTOPs.
