I suck at BR management!
Ok I have no business having 11k online. Played some 100/200 O8b and did ok, but got killed in 10/20 PLO8 and lost about 3k the past 2 days. Took 70% of it offline because i have no BR management skills. So going to lay low for a few days and just play in the TPOAPC and maybe some small stakes NL cash. If you see me at FT playing dumb stakes, please yell at me.

Borgata Poker Open
Ok all my faithful readers (both of them), I am back. So I went and met roddy and lucko at the Borgata last weekend and planned on playing some cash and maybe the $1500 event on sat. Got down there late Friday night and played a bit of 2/5 NL, ended up down about $600, when some crazy Norwegian guy sucked out on me twice. AA < K4s and another crappy hand i dont remember. I still play the event saturday anyway on no sleep.
I stay pretty much avergae stack throughout Day 1, and play really tight and pretty much double once an hour to stay alive. At about 1:00 a.m., we finally make the money after some very slow hand for hand play. We end Day 1 about 30 minutes later, and I bag 123k in chips, which is almost exactly average with 39 left. I go over and look at the payouts, and see that 1st is 207k, which would be nice. I rail LJ and have a few drinks, and bet every flop at a random table red/black with sucko for $100. I am up 200 but then we start flipping coins and a miraculous 7 tails in a row hit and i end up down $500. LJ chops the second chance with a monster stack for 12k.
I get a few hours sleep and come back around noon (play starts at 2:00) and grab some food. I start at table 1 with two small stacks behind me, and the big stack pretty far away.
I proceed to run over the table, and in the first level back, I go from 123k to about 320k without showing down a handand soon after we are down to 27 and redraw for new seats. I move to table 3 and my luck quickly changes. Every raise gets repopped, and quite quickly, I am back to under 200k. Card-deadness (yes its a word now) kicks in and i start to get blinded down. Luckily, we get down to 18 so we can re-draw for seats so hopefully i can get some cards. No such luck, I get blinded down to about 60k which is about 5 BB's and make a bad RR shove with no fold equity. I end up in 16th for about 5k. Pissed but still my first big cash in a big event like that.
To add to it, monday night I get 2nd in a 120+9 on Full Tilt for about 4700. I got into HU with a 3:1 chip lead but A7< K7 and then K8< Q7 and I get 2nd and yell at my computer.
On the running front, since the marathon, I have slacked, but have been lifting and hopefully will pick the running back up when the weather gets nicer. Peace out.
