Single table tournaments.. and the 30k

My stt challenge had a good day on Saturday. I'm not putting anywhere near the volume in that I want to, as I've other things to do. But...

I only played 12, in 3 groups of 4. Managed to win 5 and come 3rd in another. will take the $40.2 profit!!

The 30k on stars. I always enjoy this tournament, as with that little bit of luck, you can go mega deep. Managed that last night.

sometime in the 2nd hour, pushed in early position with JJ, get looked up by AK, AA and KK..

the quads on the flop were nice :)

Played fairly well, apart from running J9d into 88 aipf blind on blind, managed to bink the flush on the river :)

with about 40 left, lost AA v some random hand which I can't remember.. pushed 2 hands later with 10bbs with KJ in late position, ran into KQ and AK but still managed to 2 out the straight on the river.. :)

got down to the last 2 tables in very comfortable position, had 800k at 20k/40k.. and again blind on blind punishes me... have KQ in bb, and the sb raises just over the minimum.. its something he's done b4.. think I'm way ahead of his range so ship it in.. he has A 10 and binks the A...

down to dust which I manage to get back up to 300k within 3 hands.. then my exit hand.. get KK in late position, and its an auto all in.. the bb calls for 40% of his stack with Q7... obv 2 Q's on the flop... sigh fml etc and 16th for $123.

[ ] that was worth 6 hours of play
