Decided to play in the Sunday Million on stars today- $215 NLHE. I remember only four hands clearly from the tourney as i was playing very tight and folded mostly- not my usual style but i was card dead for a very long time. I doubled up with AK suited vs 88 all in preflop in the second hour. I then flopped a set of aces and pretty much doubled thru again to $23,000. The next hand i played AK and check-called the A high flop to the river for a $30,000 pot, he showed AQ. I myself then had AQ and flopped the nut flush, which was good for another $35,000. The hand which crippled me was AJ of spades. I min raised to $10k fro the cut off and the SB shoved for $50k more- i figured his range would be pretty big here and made what turned out to be a bad call as he tabled AK and the board brought A K 5 8 J. The last hand i played was 10 6 off from the BB as i was crippled when the SB put me all in i had no choice but to call. He made 2 pair on the flop with his KJ and that was goodnight from me. The one thing that bugged me was that my finishing position was 666th lol, which earned me $452. I also went pretty deep in an $11 tournament finishing 68th out of over 5,000 runners. About a $200 profit on the day, let's s what tomorrow brings!
