WCOOP $215 + rebuys

I just took a shot. I played 8 hours and 20 minutes. I took 99th our if 2081 people. First was 221k, so basically all the final table payouts were fat. OH well. I played fantastic, not putting my chips at risk unless i was a monstrous favorite, such as KK, flopped flush, or set. AS usual, i was able to demolish the donkey with the deepstacks that a rebuy gives you. I was in the top 30 chips for several hours. Then some donkey moved to my table. He pushed his short stack in, i call with TT, he had QJ. Flop JT7, im feeling good, turn K river A. He makes a straight, oh well it was a flip. Then, a few hands later he forgets im tight and decides to play his QJo vs me, this time i have JJ and he nails a Q to take half my stack. I played a short stack well, then busted in 99th when i pushed 44, had a guy push AK over the top, and some guy wakes with AA to bust us. Depressing, but i played well. IF that QJo guy hadnt sucked out on me, i would sailed smooth even deeper.

When i busted i immediately walked to the kitchen and too ka whiskey shot. Damn man, damn. When can a sexy guy catch his break? I played so well, was all in for all my chips 3 times, once with KK vs 88, once with a flopped flush vs a single pair, and on the last hand. Oh well. Same story as all rebuys, i rape early, then when more gambling is required bc blnids get big, donkeys suck out on me.

hmm

Much has happened, poker died then i semi restarted etc.

Anyways, he WCOOP started yesterday, with today being the first no limit hold em event, a $530 event with 4500 people and 365k for first. 600 spots paid. I played the best tournament of my life and finished 1400th. I didnt make 1 mistake in my opinion, and ive never said that before, even about tournaments ive won. I didnt play one marginal hand out of position. I maxed values and minimized losses.
Reasons i didnt get super deep are these: some idiot put all his chips in with 44 vs my AK when i was only showing high pairs down. I lost the race. Then i lost a big pot vs 32s when i flopped top pair (A64, i had AQ) and he had gutshot/flush draw, check raised me in, and he got lucky enough to hit.(why he called my preflop raise when it was 15% of his stack, no idea)
Than my AA died to Q3 when i had him trapped(he flopped Q) but hit a 3 to take all but 3 BBs from me. Woulda been avg stack again. So thats that! First time i had all my chips in was the hand i busted.

I am at UCLA, been partying a lot, probably far too much. Apartment is pretty sweet. Some assholes stole my gfs purse from her friends car the other day, i hope they get syphillis and die. I like having a full bed, those twins in the dorms really sucked. I will probably play another event. As far other poker, my cash roll died, but ive been dominating some $50 and $100 HU sngs on stars. So we will see how those go. Havent played al that much, been super busy with IKEA runs, drinking, etc.
