Multi Table Action

Played 4 multis tonight after my monster hangover cleared enough and had 4 on the go at the same time for a while.

1) $109 69 players with $5k added, Was never all in covered in this until last 17 when i made a play against a calling station and lost to ace high , annoyed me cos the guy played his hand so badly but wont go into detail. Also had lost a medium pot earlier AK vs AJ which didnt help my overall progress.

2) $50 11 players , again never all in covered until last 4 when JJ ran into KK. The hand before i raised with A7 on the button and a muppet flat called for a 1/3 of his stack with 67std. Obviously he then outdrew me when he pushed on the flop with 2nd pair. So instead of a monster stack 3 handed i went out 4th for $100 which was very poor considering the way i lost.

3) £55 15k guaranteed 280 players, got off to ok start in this before losing a hand 33 vs J9std to have gone 25/90. Left me with only 3k at 150,300 instead of 7k :(. Pushed with J8off on the button when there had been 2 callers to take a nice pot of 1200 uncalled.
Still in currently 38/64 (pays to 30)...update later

Lucky to make the money after calling a weaker stacks all in with AJ only to face AK and be left crippled. Then this happened when 19/23:
utg+1 flat calls 1200 i top up 600 in sb with K9off and flop is Qc8c9x, chk chk chk, turn = 9c, i push all in 8k for the 5k pot and utg+1 has J10off and i bust. Nasty stitch up, i considered the all in preflop but didnt like ths pot and i even considered folding because the bb only had another 2k and i thought he could well stick it in preflop for value.

4) 100$k monster on party 4392 entrants, steady progress until i gave some chips to a weak stack, currently just under average with 2815 left.....update later

Short stacked currently but i have won entry to the monthly $1million tournament which is next sunday.......update later

Got up to a big stack after that last post before losing a JJ vs A10 to have gone about 35/500. That knocked my stack a bit but i was still above average and sustained my stack well. The blinds eventually caught up again after i was card dead for ages and the only steal with rags i did had run into a weak stacks aa.

Finally playing a 70k stack i flat called 6k utg with KK and got it all in preflop against an AK. First 2 cards out were AA , not nice and the pot was to have gone to 145k with the average at 117k. As it was i finished 115th/4392 for $90 and got entry to the million$ tournament next sunday (with a max of 8000 players).
The prize structure for the $100k is based on 8000 players and is way too flat, amazingly 10th gets only $250 compared to $12500 for 1st LOL.
