Almost won another tourney
I played in the Chiptalk.net tournament last night. I played very well and was able to build a huge stack in the middle of the tournament. There were 49 people and with about 25 left I had the chip lead and at one point more than twice as many chips as the number two guy.
Top 9 got paid and once i made it to the final table I was 3rd in chips. I won a couple of hands and was back on top with about 6 left. This other guy then went on a tear. He knocked out a medium sized stack with QQ against TT and then knocked out 2 short stacks in one hand. The guy had 42k chips while I had 13k in second place. Other two had 10 and 7k. I won a small pot getting up to 20k and then big stack guy knocked out the other two.
Now we were heads up. 52k to 20k chips or so. I got knocked down to 11k chips and then won a small pot and then I got AA and limped in. I slowplayed it into doubling my stack and we were even in chips. Next hand though I had J8 and he ended up having QQ on a 862 flop. He bet I reraised all in and that was it for me. So I finished 2nd and won $98. Not bad at all :)
The rest of the day was the usual roller coaster ride. PSO has a special code for the first 100 people to sign up for certain poker rooms to get a 300 piece nevada jacks chipset. So I signed up for Titan Poker right away. I began playing a couple of 1/2 6max tables and couldn't hit anything for the life of me and was down $70 right off the bat. I was not a happy camper.
I went to my father in laws for dinner and ended up taking a nice nap that did wonders for my head before a good burger off the grill. I came back and played the chiptalk tourney and played 2 1/2 6max tables at the same time. On one table I was -30. The other table I was about +104. So that made up for the crappy loss earlier. So a nice start to the month. Basically the tourney win is my profit so far. There was also a Party reload and a Pokerstars reload so I am working those off now.

Thursday I was 1-1 with my 2 picks.
Overall - 8-7
That's about all...may the flop be with you!

My money finally came through to Neteller for the PSO Desert Sands promo on Titan. I hope to deposit and get cranking on that promo asap. Luckily I signed up before PSO upped the required Titan stars requirement. See you on the 1/2 tables soon. Also should be back for more ChipTalk.net tourney action on September 8th!!!
