NAPT LA

Havent updated the blog in a while due to being out in LA and playing live a lot.  Overall its been a great trip, and its been cool meeting other husng regs.

I arrived on the 9th and met up with Mad-shoe-ter at commerce and we stayed there and just chilled/went to dinner for a few nights before the 5k HU event.

I walked into the BIKE casino convention center and was blown away by the feild.  There were literally 2 soft spots in the whole tournament.  I ended up drawing Altrum Atlus first round, a sick live and online player.  I ended up beating him 2-0, ran really good.  I ended up playing a guy who didnt reveal his sn but said he played hu cash mostly on FTP the next round.  He was pretty good as well, but i got through it with another 2-0 win and before i knew it i was on the money bubble.  I walked over to the board and tried to scout who i was playing next.  The winner of luckychewy and livb. (LOL)  Luckychewy ended up winning and we got our matches underway.  He pretty much owned me the first match and found myself down 0-1 pretty quickly.  The next match i was down to half my stack, and got very lucky on a 1075 sss board, his AA (no spade) vs my 10J (no spade), board came running spades and i eventually was able to go 1-1.  The next match was very back and fourth.  He was a sick player and 4b me a ton and was generally very aggressive.  I ended up getting in A7 vs his A4 and holding and was in the top 8.  I played BMWCOUPE the next day to try to get into the final 4.  He was god moding me for a while and went up 1-0 in the first 10 mins.  Again i found myself shortstacked in the next match and managed to double and then dominate the next 2 matches.  I played a guy i met the day before to get into the finals.  Chanze4u or something, he was a cool kid, and we made a deal to get the loser 38k guaranteed.  I went up 1-0 vs him, but he came back to beat me 2-1.  I made a critical mistake shipping 2's in pf and getting snapped off by 5s bc he was super aggro, and i ended up busting out for 3rd place when i turned a straight while he turned a flush.

It was a nice run, and i got 3rd for 38.1k

I then played the main and lost day 1, got in 56 on a 789 board vs 10 J.  Nothing like getting it in dead in a 5k main.

Ive also been crushing online lately, besides losing a lot last night while drunk in the 1k cap games.  I honestly dont want to play that until i have a 500k roll because although its soft, the variance is so high.

Ive been staying/hanging out with jayluf/chainsawdonk/jaws washington (ftp lol) and we've been having a great time and partying a lot.  Chainsaw chopped the 1k hu napt la side event which was pretty awesome for his first live hu mtt

We also had dinner with gomukyaself and deldar182 a few nights ago, was a lot of fun and cool to meet nosebleed players

Shout out to fishenzon, what a beast, lame for not coming or buying action in my 5k hu though!

More updates coming
