I feel pretty good about my game today. I busted out in style in all my tournaments and got a little cash in each but one. I lost AA vs. KK (rivered) and just busted out on AK with a board 4 5 6. I came in for 3x the BB (1800_ with a stack of 10k) and decided to push regardless of the flop. When it hit 4 5 6 I felt like it was the right play. My push was answered with a call - and each of us had about 10k in chips so this was a 24k pot, and chance at a top 30 finish.
The opponent had 88 and no K or A hit to help me out. In this tournament I lost most my chips on Big Slick hands, getting it all in twice with AK and missing both times, once to the 88 and the other time dropping about 10k to AA.
Maybe I better review the AK - but I know you have to be aggressive if you want to get in the money. With blinds 400/800 and a stack of 10k I was getting short, so I think pushing here was a good EQ move. I'll have to check it out.
I felt like my game was pretty good tonight - and the focus was there that was obviously missing last night. I am looking forward to a night off from poker and hope to bounce back with an early morning Saturday Tournament.
Tomorrow I am rereading the Harrington on Hold Em book 1....the bible as far as I am concerned.
