The day following where I came in 2nd in the $109 mtt, I made my deepest run in a major. I ended up finishing in 14th for $4,200. I made a shove from the SB for 13 bbs with 44 into a 15 bb stack, and he went into the tank for about a minute before calling with K10 suit, this was also the first time I was all in at this table. In most other tournaments I would say this is a good call, but I don't know about him putting almost his whole stack in with just k10 suit this deep in the warmup, I could be wrong, but that's what I thought. By the way, he flopped a floosh. Played in the milly too, got it all in with 1010 pf to KJos somehow for a 100 bb pot I think an hour or so into the tournament, and he turned a king. Other than that couldn't really get much going on sunday. Since then been running well, netting a little over 2k the past few days, without any big scores in mtts. Along with this, in my next session i'll have earned enough vpps to get my $1500 bonus. I was thinking about treating myself to something cool, but I think i might save more then I usually do for this summer because there's definitely some stuff I want to do. Go skydiving, roadtrip down to ATL to see the Braves play with a friend or 2. And If the Lakers play in the finals(hopefully rematch with Boston and because it's a shorter trip) buy tickets to at least one finals game. One thing I'm trying to work on in my heads up, is berating fish a lot less. #1 I usually only do it when i'm running bad and getting frustrated. #2 It really does absolutley nothing, and I don't know why I do it. I want them to keep doing what their doing, because in the long run I will profit. #3 All it does is give them a rise, and amuse them. Tell them "nh" and pray they accept a rematch. Unfortunately I'm not going to play as many MTTs this weekend as I would like to. Saturday I have to pick up the parents from the airport in the evening, kinda right in the middle of everything, and sunday I have work. Gonna try to do some convincing to my parents to let me quit, as in the long run, I make more in poker, much more. That's it for now. GL

Yeah, I don't know what the best strategy to get the fish to rematch is...sometimes I have written nh whenever they win, others whenever they make a bad call and sometimes even call them a fish to try to get them angry. Some will be drunk and want revenge, but others might not want an unfriendly game. Be interesting to see what the most effective way to get a rematch is! Also, I'm wondering whether it might be better to hide my stars as the fish seem to think "omg 5 stars he must be amazing"!
