On sunday I played a couple of tournies - one was the Bloggerment, and the other was the "Joe Cada" celebration thingy on Stars with 30,000 runners (200 FPP buy-in).

I managed a 4th placed finish in the Bloggerment after shoving my A4s into Al Eleven's JQ - but the way Al was running, I knew I had a less than 1% chance of holding, and I was right - though Stars could have been kinder, waiting until the river to deliver my fatal blow.

The other game was a fish fest - and I wasn't really concentrating on it whilst playing the Bloggerment (started at 9 like the Bloggerment) - but once the Bloggerment was over, I started playing it.
The top 5400 cashed, and I made that without too much trouble - a couple of double ups with made hands against pairs. Then I decided to go for it - no point sitting around in these events, so I went into aggressive mode.
I got to around 25000 chips (3x the average chip stack) - but then lost most of it in a very annoying hand.
I was the BB, and there were 4 limpers - and I was holding A2s - so I shoved. All of the limpers had a smaller stack than me, and I didn't think that any of them could call off their stack. I was wrong. I came up against the might of K-10 off, and obviously lost it. I found it an amazing call - the guy had 20,000 chips, and the blinds were only 250/500, so he was in no way desperate - but hey, at poker, people do the stupidest things.
I lost a flip soon after, and went out for the grand sum of $6.

Think I might play a few more MTT's. I rarely play them, but when I do, I really enjoy them. I'm finding the cash grind a little boring right now (and to be honest, not particularly lucrative considering I am on a long break-even run), so I think I'll add a little variety.

Some Black-Eyed Peas for you.
My wife asked me if I found Fergie attractive?
I said not really, I wasn't sure about his red nose, and the way he kept looking at his watch.
