SHIP THE SHOYU!!!

Oh its been awhile, but I finally bagged an mtt today. It was the $33 double stack on fulltilt. It was a pretty small field of only 133 entries, but still... a win is a win. Ship the $1,077 please!

It was quite the roller coaster ride ill tell you that. At one point I was down to 1400 chips at 100/200, that was right after I built up a 12k stack and dusted that off on a hand where I turned 2 pair vs a flopped straight. Then I doubled that with K8>AQ, then from there built my stack back up to 13k without ever getting a real hand, just making plays where I thought my oponnents were weak. I didnt even get a big pocket pair until it got to 12 handed.

After that though, I finally got my monster rush of cards, QQ in the sb shortstack shoved K2 into me, limped AA utg vs agro bb (got checked around to bb btw, ghey but w/e) he led out a Q78 flop and I popped it up, he folded, AT>A3, 55>AQ, and almost every other hand I played went my way. That was nice for a change.

Another big factor that helped me to win was when it was 11 handed, I was short and this super agro guy to my right thought he could just run over me like he was the rest of the table. I had about 20k at the time (blinds 1k/2k, some huge antee) and he had about 50k. gets folded around to him in the sb and he completes my bb when I have AQ. So at this point im thinking id rather double up then have him fold to my allin, and risk me going out to a weaker hand... just a chance I was willing to take... and it paid off. I raised it to 6600 and he instacalled, flop was MONEY when it hit AQx... better yet he instant shoveled right into me.... he had 37. SHIP!!!

Same guy again, folds to his sb and this time he minraises into my K4cc in the bb. We have about the same amount of chips, a little more than 30k @ 1.5k/3k I think. So I flat call and the flop comes 45T two clubs, thats a pretty damm good flop for K4 in my eyes. He checks into me and I know he wants this pot bad, so I just lead a weakish bet of 4k into a 14k pot... insta check raise shovel the 68.... Turn the ace of clubs, hes drawing dead, gg... SHIP!!!

Not bad, accompished some of my goals today, but im just not satisfied enough yet. Gonna keep up the good play and hopefully bag more W's.

Peace
