Busted out 113 of 141 in the H.O.R.S.E. tourney. It's that second HE round, when it hits 100/200 blinds, that always gets me when I'm against strong players. I loosen up a bit too much, and one bad hand cripples an average stack at that moment. Oh well, a fun time taking a shot at $7,000 for $8.80, anyway. It helps that I won $600 at the NL HE tables a few hours before the tourney started.
As regular readers know, I love mixed games. I have recently redeposited into Full Tilt due to a new reload bonus. In between taking stacks over at the $1/$2 NL tables (I've recovered my losses from the set over set situation), I like to wander over to the H.O.R.S.E. tournaments (if only they offered it as a cash game). I played an $8+.8 satellite, and won out of a field of about 60 or so! That gets me a buy-in to the weekly $200+16 H.O.R.S.E. tourney, which generates a really big prize pool!
It's not often I play "big" buy in tournaments (my limit is $30+3 events; the variance is just too high otherwise). I am looking forward to trying to see if I can make the money playing mixed games tomorrow night!
