I managed to dbl through him 1 time later 88 v/s JJ but later went out A7 v/s AQ. In the 10K Gtd on Tilt I got crippled early with top pair and OESD when a guy with 2nd pair and a backdoor flush draw called me down and I paid off a value bet on the river with the J hi flush cause I didn't think he called me down on a backdoor draw but obv I was wrong. I got KK in the BB v/s him later and he doubled me up but I'm still about 1/2 my original stack.

Update on the 10K Gtd. I doubled again with top pair BvB to get back to about 3K the starting stack I had. Then I raise T8s and get 2 calls. Flop J hi 2 of my suit I c-bet and get min raised and I shove him and he had top set. I runner runner a straight. Then big stack raises UTG I call in position with 44 and flop is 994 and I win another big pot. Up to about 11K now and avg is 5.5K.

Took a hit in the 10K after break. LP raises and I call in the BB KQ. Flop AKx I check he makes a small bet and I call. Turn another Ace and I felt like I was good but check and he makes another small bet and I call. I didn't think he'd call a raise here without a K. River blanks and I decide to check and see if he'll bluff and he overshoves the pot. I thought maybe he had a busted flush draw and I call and he had AJs and had been drawing at the flush as well as having trips.

I busted in the early 109 on Stars when EP limps, I raise and he overshoves me. We had played a couple pots together and I rarely see this being AA in the bigger games so I call and of course he had AA. If someone knows what book advocates this strategy please LMK.

Back to the 10K on Tilt.

This might not have been a good idea as this could get really long. I may have to 2 part this thing. 1st orbit of the 20^3 I double with K6 v/s K3 on a K632 board.

Not sure why I ever slowplay AA. Maybe I do it 5% and I lose 100% of the time. 10K Gtd 36 pays about 70 remaining. I've been up and down v/s an agro donk to my left who opens UTG and I decide to flat him in the BB with AA. Flop comes 765hhh and obv I don't have the Ah he bets and I CRAI and he had 44 with the 4h and rivers his straight flush.

10K 1st break of the 20^3.

Here's my exit from the 4.5 KO event on tilt. This is my exit from a lot of Tilt tournies lately.

Blew off my big stack in the 20^3 right after break. Guy 4x's it from the hi-jack and I call in the BB 77. Flop is Jxx so I CR the flop and he called. I really thought he had AK. Turn pairs a low card and puts 3 diamonds on the board and I lead and he calls again. River is another low card but I really don't know where I am in this hand now. I'm almost positive he doesn't have the J. I'm leaning towards maybe AK with a diamond in his hand. I check and he bets 1/2 his stack and should have let it go there and had some chips to fight back but I call and he shows TT. Then he raises AQs 1 guy calls and I shove 4x his bet with JJ and he insta calls me and flops his Ace and I'm out.

Its not all bad beat posts I'll post my suckout here as well. 10BBs in the 100K on Stars and I shove A7s UTG called by KK and 99 and I flop a flush draw and turn and river complete it. Sidenote this thing filled up. 20,000 players in it. Unreal field size.

Sunday Million is starting so I'm going to end this and create a 2nd part.
