sunday results and a few hands of interest.

interesting day with a lot of potential that didnt pan out... i cashed the stars million, got close in the stars 2nd chance, and bubbled ftp's 500K. the stars million was using a new structure where we start with alot more chips, but i am pretty sure the structure was sped up a lot. i play 9 sngs today, only cashed 1... got 1st, but i lost about $1400 today between the MTTs and the SNGs.

ok some hands. from the stars million

apparently i am weak tight.... sometimes you have to bluff, and squeeze plays are a great bluff to make... btw, it is also awesome to set up a guy for a squeeze play if you know he makes them.
