4 sixpacs played, 3 x 33 and 1 x 55

day 4 : +£116

close to a big package of $7000 to las vegas as well on the night. 250 players win only (obviously 10-20% sitting out as freeroll)

went out 99 vs 10s to finish 9th on a biggish pot. damage had been done on several pots earlier in the game, AQ vs A10 to go 1st/100 with 1.5 times 2nd places chips. Q7 vs As2s on a Q5s4s flop for 15k pot lost which would have put me into 2nd or 3rd with only about 16 left. Racking my brains i thought there was at least one more but cant remember it at the moment. Was also unlucky when big chippie that had gone to bed and left huge stack got moved from next to me to the other table. At that point our table was tight so i was getting at least 1/2 of his small blinds and it was even easy to call or raise utg to take his big blind as well a fair few times.

Not to be , nowhere near as bad as the ladbrokes 2nd last month. Easier to take the positives from this game as i upped the gears and probably got involved and agressed the optimum amount. I did miss 1 opportunity when with the blinds only 300,600 i folded AK after a raise to 1800 and an allin 27k before me. utg raiser called and it was 77 vs the 27k stacks 9,10off would you believe. The AK would have hit and i would have had 60k or 70k (joint chip lead) if the 77 came in but think he would have folded if i called as i had 30k at the time and was in 2nd place. Shortly after i realised the 9,10 off had to go (hense to loose play) but he hadnt done anything like that move before that hand so i had no infomation to the contrary and wanted a better spot. I know technically it was a correct fold , but maybe in a win only freeroll i should have just gone with it, is very very debatable.
