After my successful +9BI Friday night with 25NL, I decided to take half of that profit for some MTTs. Playing 25NL Friday night and Saturday morning I accrued $45 in Rakeback which is pretty sweet amount for 25NL. Satellited into both Mini FTOPs #24 the $26 6-max KO tournament and the ME. Played several $11 MTT and $6.50 90-man KOs on Saturday and really do not understand people's logic when it comes to making some of the calls that they can make.

Super Stack $11 on FTP, blinds are 25/50 so pretty early in the tourney. UTG make it 175 to go. All MP fold and I am in the CO with AA. I make it 450 to go, BTN and blinds fold and action is back to UTG. He time-banks it, in hope that I would think he has a tough decision and he shoves for 4K and some change. I snap call and he turns over A5 and board come 55xxx and I am knocked out. Not that I am mad one bit about this donkey type play as it will pay me off most of the time however I just do not understand their logic in play. Went pretty deep in a $6.50 90-man KO but puked my stack with KQs on a AK2xx board.

Mini FTOPS#24 I was so card dead. Nothing worse playing 6-handed and folding folding folding. After 2nd break, I caught a break and had JJ UTG. Was re-raised with AK and won the coin-flip. Card dead once again and went out in 4000th place out of 16.5k when Ax called my push with 66. Was extremely confident in my play and hope my confidence carries over to the ME. First few blind levels of the ME have happened and still pretty card dead except for this hand.
