FTOPS Event 7: $216 HORSE

I played reasonably well in this one.

I Barely missed the money. (Busted 174th out of 903, money was at 112 places.)

Made some mistakes to go from $4000 starting stack to $2500.

Moved up to $6500 in Razz thru two hands.

Moved up to high point of $18000 thru Stud and Stud8.

Made more mistakes in Hold'em.

Somehow hit a Royal Flush in Stud8 to win half the pot.

Busted in Hold'em with AQ against QJ.

Oh well.

FTOPS Event 4: $1060 NLH 6-max

This is probably one of the tighter 6-max tournies i've played in, including live and online. I started and finished on the same table, and I was the first guy out of that pack of six to be eliminated. (read: over the two hours before I busted the table was purely doing chips-exchange.) I busted just before the 2nd break, and overall my run has been pretty bad.

In level 2 of the tournament, I got my flopped straight ran over by runner runner flush. It's not like I let it happen either, I bet out every street until the river when I managed to just check-call to avoid busto.

On one of the last hands, I got my flopped set ran over by the same guy with his runner runner straight. In the same whacky fashion, he called my cbet on the flop with 2 under cards (preflop he opened and I 3betted), called my bet on the turn with a gutshot straight draw, and finally made me call down his stack on the river. After this I was left with under 10BB and I shipped it in the 33 which naturally lost to JK.

UPDATED: Self Note: FTOPS XIX

Here's a quick list of what I plan to play in the upcoming FTOPS XIX (Feb 6 - 20). As a general rule I won't play any turbos or superturbos. Furthermore, I'll treat all Multi-Entry tournaments as single entry as it's just tilting otherwise. (Pls someone help me with these Multi-Entry spewaments as to how to optimally buy into it.)

Straight off the bat I would like to highlight that I most look forward to Event 17: $535 PLO 6-max.

Here's the list, note that all start times are in Hong Kong local time:

Event 4, Feb 8 10:00am: $1060 NLH 6-max

Event 7, Feb 9 10:00am: $216 HORSE

Event 10: Feb 10 10:00am: $109+R NLH 6-max (multi-entry)
Event 17, Feb 13 3:00am: $535 PLO 6-max
Event 27, Feb 15 10:00am: $1060 NLH (multi-entry)
Event 33, Feb 17 10:00am: $322+R NLH 6-max
Event 44, Feb 21 3:00am: $256 NLH 6-max KO

I'm looking to spend a total of $4,578. (All NLH rebuy games I limit myself to 4 buys including the add-on.) Action buyer welcomed.

UPDATED: Removed Event 35: $322 PLO HU as I'll be rather tied up that day!
