$4,400

I got 2nd in the second chance $200 NL tourney tonight for 4.4k, I am not ecstatic that I lost but I'm not terribly upset either. I feel like I was a better player than my heads-up opponent, but I started off down 4-1 in chips and lost a 150k pot with A 10 vs. K6 that would have given me a 2-1 chip lead.... so all in all it just didn't go my way. I did bad beat a bunch of people earlier in the tournament to build up a big stack. I'm pretty convinced that you usually need to dish out at least 1 or 2 bad beats in order to final table a large multi of this structure. The guy that beat me was a real nice guy and I think he was appreciative of the fact that we were 2 of the only 3 people at the final table who didn't jump around and complain after taking bad beats. It makes in a lot easier when you lose to a nice guy.

I donked off in the $300 NL earlier today and didn't do anything, we ate at the Brazilian place again and it was delicious again. I'm not sure what are plans are for Saturday but I know that we are going to play the $500 NL tournament tomorrow and are planning on going to New Orleans on Saturday for the VooDoo Music Festival.
