Just won a seat into tonight’s 750k guarantee on FullTilt. It was a $24+2 mtt satellite with 35 seats. Took over the chip lead with about 75 left, sat out for a long time before I had to come back as people were taking way too long to bust and my stack was getting whittled down. Ended up about 10 from the bubble when it burst.
At the same time I’ve been playing a $24+2 180 seat SnG on FullTilt. Currently have over 1/3 the chips in play with 6 left at the final table. I’ll post a bit more once it wraps up.

Well today I actually fired up FTP today to play a little bit of poker. Early in the morning I decided to play a little $5+.50 Omaha/8 Sit N Go. I by no means am an excellent Omatard player but boy did I feel dominating in this thing! It was typical in that mostly everybody at the table had no regard for their starting cards. With me only being in the hand with huge draws or near-nuts, it was actually very easy and I coasted to the win.
Later on, I decided to hop in one of the $10+1 donkaments that started at 4pm. There were 303 runners in this one, which is a field size that I enjoy. Just a shade over 4 hours later, here was the result:
That’s right, I actually final tabled! Overall it was a pretty typical deep run. I made one bad move and hit an A for my 3 outer (I had the guy covered), I made one great move for a ton of chips with about 30 left, and overall played very tight/agressive poker. I got slightly impatient when 3 handed after I had to make a laydown the previous hand against PokerStunna89, who ended up being a very solid player. The s00ted dude was a complete donk and I had seen him both raise and call all-in very light. So after he raised my BB on the button, I came over the top with KT. He called with Ax, I don’t hit, and I go home $363.60 richer. A little disappointed as I stayed in the top 10 for probably 3/4ths of the entire thing. However, I had taken a hit to my stack and was 17/20 at one point as well. It’s my first top 3 in awhile so it definitely feels good to get back on track.

Even though I have and even sometimes use, Pokertracker, I sometimes have trouble keeping track of the ‘ole Bankroll across the still-many sites and money funding options that are out there. I found a pretty good excel spreadsheet that helped track it all but didn’t start using it. With the release of Numbers as a part of iWork ’08 I decided to convert the thing as a way to test Apple’s new spreadsheet.
I am pretty happy with the results. It’s a little bit of a pain to track all the different sessions and tournaments but it ends up keeping your overall bankroll and site totals down to the penny. So if you’re a Mac user and want to give this a shot, download the file with some sample data in it. You can also get a 30 day trial of iWork too if you haven’t bought it yet. If you do end up using it give me some feedback or just let me know!
