OK, probably a bad idea, but I couldn't stand the thought of ending the day like I did… so I found me a cheap tourney… $3+$0 w/re-buys satellite. Get placed at a table with players of questionable strategy and intelligence… All-In on every hand regardless of their cards… unfortunately, it often times works for them. F'ing BS. I go all-in myself with ATo… get called by two others… they have junk but one of them flops two pair! WTF! First and only re-buy. At this point, I'm up to 5725 chips after going all-in with 55, making the set on the flop and quads on the river. From here on out it's tight, clean poker for me. If Lee's book says to fold it, I fold it. Period.

So far, so good… up to 7090 after my TT held up against AKo… I flopped the set, but that was gravy as the other fella never improved.

At the first break, I'm down to 5640 after a couple of bad beats where my AKo or AQo couldn't catch any love on the flop. I go ahead and add-on 2000 more chips. At this point, there are 469 (out of 650) seats left. There have been 1331 re-buys and 356 add-ons bringing the total prize pool is up to $7,011 with 32 entries into Sunday's tournament. Here goes nothing…

For the record, I hate the river. My QJo flopped two pair. I'm all-in against a short stack. He catches running diamonds for the Ace-high flush. I'm down to 3665.

And my luck officially stinks. Might have some details in the AM… or, I might just forget the whole day and start fresh…
