quick Friday update

quick update here. Got up early and played the 10am $550 sat but bested before 1st break. I never got hands and got trapped into several pots. I called in the BB with AK early against a crazy Asian player. Flop is QJx I check/call the flop with 2 overs and a gutshot + backdoor flush draw. We check down and he shows a small pair. I probably should have led out on the river but I didn't think he would fold a Q or a J so I just gave up. A little later I raise 88 in middle position and absented minded BB finally decides to call. Flop is AAQr and looks like a good flop for me so when he checks I lead out about 3/4 pot and he thinks and shoves me but he has so few chips I have to call knowing I'm probably behind. He shows AJo and had flopped trips. So now I've got about 10BBs left and go through the blinds and now I'm realy short. I'm looking for a spot to shove before the blinds come back because it was almost time for break. I didn't want to wait through break as a small stack with the antes coming in and leaving me even shorter. I get 5 trash hands in a row and can't shove anyone and get QJs in the BB. My plan was to shove preflop and take my chances. Unfortunately 3 guys limp in front of me and I knew I couldn't fold all of them out so I check and take a look at the flop. Its KJx and I check with the intention of getting all in on this flop. Middle position guy bets out and I call he had limped KK and I was basically drawing dead.

I'm planning on playing the $550 today at 4pm. Also I'm playing the 4pm tomorrow afternoon. I'll play an $1100 sat but not sure when. If I bust out of the 4pm early it may be tonight or if I run deep in the 4pm I'll do it tomorrow night. Worst case I'll get up and play the Sunday 8am last chance satellite.
