Event #1 ($215 NL 6-Max) Recap

I was doing pretty well for a while in this one, but came up short. I had my stack up to over 8,000 when average was 6,000. The biggest problem was I had a very active table and never really got any cards. I had AA early and got some action which was how I got a good chunk of the chips I had, but other than that it felt like 200 hands of garbage.

While I spent most of my time folding when I did get in there I was flopping draws and missing them which is very costly. In the end that last hand I played was ATs. I was down to about 2,500 chips and after the first player to act raised to 400 I moved all in. He had AK, I missed and that was it. I finished in 1,910th place.

I'm amazed how close I got to the money in this one given that I was so card dead. If I'd gotten any breaks at all I would have made it.

Unfortunately I also dropped another $128 in satellites, meaning the total damage so far is -$803.
