Tournament - Not too much happened early on.  I started out playing small ball as usual, picking spots here and there and accumulating chips.  We start with 11.5K and I lost 2.5K (blinds 50-100)early on when I raised out of the bb with 1010.  Flop came out K high, I led out for 1K and was raised to 5K.  I folded the hand face up and felt pretty confident my opponent held a K.  On another hand, I called in lp with 77, about 6 way action.  Flop brings 578, 3 hearts.  mp opens for $800, 1 caller and I pop it to 3K.  MP calls and the other player folds.  Turn brings the Ks.  He checks and I instapush for about 11K.  At this point in the tournament, I didn't want to make a value bet here as I put him on holding a big heart, either A or K.  Usually, in this tournament, with the type of opponents playing, you'd get called anyway regardless.  He folded his Ah face up and I take down a big one. 

After the first break, I began picking up some big hands.  AA but no action.  Few hands later I pick up KsKd in utg +1 and bump it.  I get called by the sb.  Flop brings Ad Jd rag.  SB leads out for 4K, about a pot size bet.  I wasn't sure what my opponent could have here.  He's not the type that would play Ace rag.  I couldn't put him on a big draw since I held the Kd.  I could only come up with AQ, AKo, maybe even A10.  I fold my hand and my opponent shows QQ.  Nicely done Bruce, you definitely had be confused on that one.

The end of my tournament came holding Qc7c in the bb.  Flop brought 4 7 9.  I bet and was raised.  I didn't feel like my opponent held a strong hand and made a move.  He didn't, holding only 910o but called my bluff and good game TK.  Way early exit.

Cash game - HOE.  Not too much to report here.  Pretty much short handed the entire night, seating no more than 6 and not very much money on the table.  I bought in for $80, got as high as $140ish and cashed out $124 in about 3hrs of play.  Only hand of note was in Omaha high.  1-1 blinds, bumped it to $4 with AA86 double suited hearts and diamonds.  Got 4 callers.  Flop brings 7 5 2, rainbow, 1 diamond.  I bet $7, opponent raises to $17 and I elected to call.  Turn brings another diamond and my opponent goes AI for $20.  I was almost getting the right price and elected to make a lose call and caught my nut diamond flush on the river.  Its one of those hands where you finally get a chance to make some money in a game where theres no money to be made and go "F it".  It would have been a miracle if I could have made $100.  That pretty much sums up the night.  Lets hope I can get things going soon!
