Yesterday was the day!
 
After a really good profit saturday and sunday I felt that the 150K guarantee was going to be a big payday. Relaxed and sharp I started fighting for chips. I Rebought right away to kick me up to 4000 in chips. I really did not have any big decisions the fist hour, playing very tight waiting for a solid starting hand my stack stayed around 4000-5500. I was playing 6 other cash games on the side and the value was realy good on 4 of the 600nl euro tables. Everything was set up for a great night.
 
After the first break I had 7500 in chips and things was still going well, until this guy hojjaboy was starting to go on nerves on the 600nl cashgame tables, he got me for at least 3000euros with the sickest set ups ever. Enough was when I rerasied big with KK and he called with 22 flopp comes 2 3 10 with 2 diamonds I paid him of again after beeing on tilt and the perfect turn and river shows 2 7…poker is though sometimes.
 
The tournie was still looking good after getting some chips with some good hands I was around 20 000 in chips I was over avarage. Playing only the tournament I felt very focused and was playing well.
 
We were down to like maybe 120 players when I won a monster pot with the best hand and got the chiplead. This was going to be the day. THe blinds was going up really fast and every hand is a major decision.
 
Key pots was when I was trying to steal from the button with all in with a5 and he insta called with AA funny is that later on he also found ak suited on the button when i had a6 suited. I managed to steel alot of chips and got paid of and was still topp 10 for a long while.
 
60 players left I find KK a solid 400nl player handthemover raised UTG and a big stack moved in for 150 000chips I have to call
and really hope handthemover dont have AA, he folds and bigstack calls with AK. If I won this pot I would have had a monster chiplead. An ace shows on the flop and there goes my first place. Was close to a comback but never got lucky in the 50/50 situations at the end.
 
Kicked out on 21th place and only 650dollar to lick my wounds that the lucky fish hojaboy had created on my bankroll.
 
til me meet again
