Two big tourneys and nothing much to report....

Full Tilt has great tourneys on Sundays and I won seats at the two big ones in satellites for $24 each ($200-240 buy-ins). The first one was a guaranteed $60k first prize with 1,500 runners and the second $160k top prize with 4,600 runners.

First tourney I ran the stack up to 11k from 3k starting and caught a straight flush on the river when my 8s8d hit yahtzee on a board of 9dTdJdQsQd....unfortunately, my opponent was holding the AsKd. I called the pre-flop raise of 4x BB from position. He pot bets the flop, which I called, reluctantly. Hit my straight on the turn, but was leary of the K, so when he checked the turn, I was pretty sure he didn't have the flush. I checked behind. The Qd on the river gave me the straight flush (low-end). He bet the pot. I min-raised, thinking I could get a full house or even the A-high flush to call me. Instead, he had hit the higher straight flush and fleeced me. I finished in the top 25%, but far off the money.

Second tourney was 4,600 runners and I made it to the money at #550. I took a bad beat early in the tourney when I flopped a set against AsKs and he rivered the flush. Had taken the starting stack of 3k up to 12k and dropped back to 4k. Clawed my way back up to a below-average 11k and then over-played a pair of 88's when the board came 7-high against AA for the exit hand.

Played heads-up $1/$2 against a much better player than I and dropped $1000. Was on TILT most of the time as all my big hands failed to win any money and all of my bluff attempts were being called by made hands. So, I slow-played KK and AA and he flopped trips once and then rivered a flush after heavy betting on the turn. Played very poorly overall and based on CC's recent heads-up victories, I need some consultation and focus to improve in heads-up. Most of my time has been spent in the big-way tourneys and that has really effected my heads-up play (especially pre-flop betting strategies) for the worse.
