Talked to Rizen, played a lot
Talked with Rizen from Vegas this afternoon about his table draw for day three, his opponents, some strategy, and how he's going to win $12M and a bracelet in a couple more days. Energized from our conversastions, I decided I was going to play a lot of poker tonight.
And so, in order of firing off, I entered: The $109-level $40k Guaranteed on Party. The $150+13 $22k Guaranteed on Tilt that ended up with a $36k prize pool. A $22 180-man on Stars. A $33 SNG on Party to fill up some spare screen real estate. The $24+2 $20k Guaranteed on Full Tilt. A random $22 MTT on Party with almost 900 entrants. And finally the $22-level $40k Guaranteed on Party.
Sadly my best finish and only cash was 10th in the $22 180-man, one off the final table. I was sitting fourth in chips with eleven players left when I got tangled with a guy sixth in chips overall, who'd been aggressively restealing from me - either that or he'd been getting big hands every time I raised. I tried to re-resteal from him with JTs - one of my absolute favorite non-premium hands - and ran in to his AKs, and couldn't suck out. That crippled me. Next hand I saw 72d and figured I'd let my luck run under the gun with the suited hammer since we were six handed and I had a mere two big blinds left. I got called twice, by AK and called for less by A9 - seven on the river, but the ace that came before it on the turn KO'd the shortest stack in 11th and me in 10th, and put the rest of the players on to the final table. Nice.
In the random $22 Party MTT I was about 25% over average with 140 left, top 100 paying. I then pushed AJ on an ace-high flop in to a player I had identified as a calling station who I was sure didn't have the ace, but ran in to his AQ to drain my entire stack. A frustrating misplay on my part. Then in the $22 level $40k Guaranteed on Party, I sucked out with ATd vs AQc (money in preflop, ten on the flop and another on the river) to double up to just above average halfway through, then gave the chips back to the guy just three hands later when I went busto there - an aggressive player raised a pair of limpers from the button and holding AKo I pushed over the top from the big blind, as his raise was about 1/4 of my stack. I didn't want to call off 1/4 my stack and fold if I whiffed, and I'm not upset if he folds a medium pair there either or if he calls for a coinflip.

Who cares about results. Lots of play, that's what I like to see!
I got in about 8 hours last night since I won't be able to play this weekend and as a bonus had one of my worst sessions ever.
Like I said before though, who cares about results.
