1st Live MTT Tonight

[Dan Abnormal]

Got the big one of the month again tonight and since its where the thread started Ill just update month 2, I have played some lower buyin this month $35 but got nowhere as far as I did in my first MTT last month and its that time again

$65 buy in 20 minute level - no antes - bounties on the DJ's and appox 150 people so Ill be back later to update and hopefully real late and come home with some money.

It such a catch 22 I know I need to get my live tourny practice in but the buys in are so high and Im yet to show any money, whereas I can play my limit holdem and usually make some money, I have yet to venture into NL as lowest buy in is $100 for $1 tables and to be honest Im somewhat scarred as I dont know what Ill do if someone raises me $25 but at leadt playing the MTT's live is getting me used throwing in more than one chip at a time LOL

WELL - I HAD A BLAST TONIGHT - went out 38th of 178 people and early on I was really doing well as I knocked out 4 people but later on the cards werent hitting as well

Lost $17 in Limit hold em but OH WELL

Got moved to 6 different tables and the last one had this GODDAMN LOUD MOUTH DRUNK idiot who had to make comments after before during each hand to the point it was splitting my head in 2, I MEAN JUST LOUD AND THOUGHT he was Mr Poker know it all.

BUSTED OUT CHASING I GUESS SO I DONT KNOW IF I MADE A GOOD CALL HERE

BLINDS 1600/800 had 6K in chips had 78o

flop 6A9 Dude UTG pushed all in about double my chips and I figured he had paired the board but I figured I had 8 outs to hit my straight and pushed in my 4.4K (I was BB so I already had 1.6K in ) I mean I guess now knowing, I should of not pushed but the big stacks WERE BIG and I was running low, GOOD CALL BAD CALL just curious (ALSO DID I f up by checking the flop and this lead to the UTG dude pushing hard but I dont think I was gonna push him off big slick that hit)

SO AM ALL IN HERE T=A R= 3 BUSTO for me so I lasted about 3hrs and 15m

VILLIAN = AK


Another freaky hand that basically I lost about 2K in chips on an all in

ME = AA
Villian = 88
OTHER VIllan = TQs

I slowed played my aces but got too much action

flop 8K9 3 people go all in right here

Turn J

River A

so me and the other guy hit our sets and the other dude hit his straight so lucky the dude with the straight couldnt cover me so I won the side pot, but this was a freaky hand Well I hope I typed this in right,
