took down the Turbo Hundo on FTP yet again

Well, I somehow won my 3rd Turbo Hundo last night for a little of $6,100. This must be my lucky tourney as I have now won it twice already in 2009 and won it once last year as well. Funny thing is, the night before was when I thought I was going to win as I had twice the chips of the 2nd place person 5 minutes before the first break. Ended up cashing that one but no final table. Last night, I think I only had about 3800 chips at first break...but patiently chipped up after the break to where i was hovering between 1st and 6th in chips once we made it to the money. I played well in the Sunday majors as well (BODOG 100k, FTP 750K, and PS 1mill), only cashed in the FTP 151st place I think. Built my stack way back up in the PS tourney after my flopped set of Kings fell victim to the runner runner straight that was gut shot completed on the river (and no I didn't slow play <4x pre, potted the flop as 2 hearts flopped, potted the turn, then 2/3 potted the river and had to make the crying call of his shove). That hand took me down to 2400 chips and I was able to work it all the way back up to 86k chips. Then I went card dead and went out 10 spots before the money when I shoved my measely 6BB stack from the cutoff with A6 sooted and got called by the BB A6 sooted...he made his flush on the river and robbed what I thought for sure would have been a chop. Oh well, pulled some money off tilt and hope i can parlay what I left to a WSOP satellite win (maybe a sunday final table or ftops score). I also played my every other Friday night live game last week. Turn out is usually only 8-12 people and structure is 100 dollar initial buyin for 3500 chips. As soon as you get below 2k you can rebuy 1500 chips for 40 bucks and if you bust you can get 3000 chips for 80 bucks (anytime before then end of the 3rd level)...levels are 20minutes and go up slow at first but skyrocket late...going 1k/2k to 2k/4k to 4k/8k...which really sucks come heads up time as chipleader usually has <6bb. Addon of 3k chips avail. after 3rd level for $60. Friday sported 9 runners with 1st getting $880 and 2nd getting $440. Despite being extremely card dead, I was able to take it down. In for total of $200 out with $880...sweet. All for now. Ride her until she bucks you.

Won the Turbo Hundo on FTP again the other night for $5,300. There is 1 of my 10 needed 4 figure scores for my new year goals. Hope this is indicative how the year will go. Take care.
