Unfulfilled, I fired up a Token tourney and $10 HU, and took out a very weak opponent. The token went well and I decided that if I could win another one before the MATH, I'd play that and the 28K. Mission accomplished.
You can see in the post below how the 28K went. 2 hours of solid play and a suckout yay!
The first few rotations of the 6max MATH I got some nice starting hands and I knew my action would be perceived as a little loose. I was making odd bets and trying to dodge and weave.
This is the first hand where my image served me well, even though I had to suck out.

I have no excuse for this next hand other than I just wanted to beat donkette. These are the types of plays that kill me in the long run and why I spew chips sometimes.

pvanharibo raises to 500 Marginal preflop raise, she could have anything, but I'm thinking I can protect my blind and fire out of an ace hits. No way I give her credit for a better hand than I have. That is definitely one of my major problems, I overvalue my hands once I decide to play them.

I got noting....I misplayed my read, Once I decided to play it, I did it poorly.
I min bought into a .40/.80 Deep Stack cash game with some of the elite blogger cash players...pfft, they contend cash is tougher than MTT's. I ran my stack over $700. I began fairly tight, then I sucked out on Don AK vs KK. I was pretty much on cruise control after that. Here's a pic of the table at one point and a HH I kept from a hand vs Lucko.

Ski-
I had the nut flush on 5th.
FT mixes up the cards so you can't see when I hit it.
as i said, sigh. i had you crushed on every street, but i needed to raise the flop. it was a terrible call by me, and i paid for it w/ a crappy turn and a crappier river.
