shooting for the stars...

My main focus this week has been increasing my stars bankroll. With this in mind, I've played a lot of the $5 and $10 mtts on stars. Also have been staked into the 80k on stars ( thanks ACE2M) again after my cash on Tuesday.

In the 80k I again managed to cash, and was pretty comfortable in doing so. Won a cpl of races when slightly behind, as is needed sometimes.

The exit hand was pretty cruel, as no matter how I played it, I'm certain I'd have gone out..

A pretty loose player raised from early position, and I'm in BB with AK.. push all in, he flips KK...
flop AK2.. sigh!!

The 30k was fun!! Until...

Down to 12 players, blinds ridiculous, and only 2 moves available, all in or fold. Made moves with garbage, 1st decent hand I get ( in about an hour) 77, and push all in. No point in doing anything different. Short stack calls, and a large stack calls!!! total action!

Short stack QQ
Large stack AJ

QQ takes the pot, I take the shrapnel.

Push next hand and hit, get back up to a half ave stack

Very next hand, get dealt 88 on the bb, sb pushes all in, I obv call

he has J4.. J on the flop.. sigh

10th and the final table bubble...
