Really lazy week playing wise but I did do a fair bit of studying. FCOOP leaderboard was a .1% shot by Tuesday and I arranged a session with a Horse on Thursday and he missed it. Today went well, 5th 109t psko, 2nd 109 on 888 and 4th in 55r. Played 1k cash hands too across 3 sites and despite having some big swings in bb terms I managed a win. 1 table left but I'm probably quitting soon, games ran round an unknown guy who was just a bit tight, if I hadn't fancied playing I probably would have quit. Got some action on a fairly quiet site too and the games were crazy. Didn't last too long but its certainly reminded me that the Stars changes aren't the end of the world. Bit more of a standard Sunday tomorrow, FCOOP 1k Main should be excellent and a lot of fun.
Quick hand from the 109 turbo ft. I had a big bounty and hadn't done much 25 hands into the ft apart from peel the cl twice and check multiple streets before folding and winning a flip vs a small stack. The bounty on my head was 1500 so my opponent is kind of inclined to bluff and there can be a lot of levelling in these spots. I 3b to a similar size from the BB the previous hand and I certainly wasn't in love with 3b/calling, it seemed like it would be fine vs his level of aggression. Might be an ICM disaster, but this is kind of a top heavy tournament and I probably have 60+% equity when we get it in.
