Seat 8: InstantTragedy mucked [Js 4s 6s Th 5d Kd 2s] - T,6,5,4,2
So where did the hand go wrong? I don't think I played this bad at all. I had a great draw and double bricked. Nothing I do will get me off this hand. Or should I have folded 6th or 7th street?
I leave it to the peoples!

100 Chip Turbo...The Crack of the Poker World
Well FTOPS Razz arrived last night and I had no intentions of playing in it at all. I had no time to try and qualify so I thought I would just cover any bloggers who played in it on Live Poker Radio. But a funny thing happened about an hour before it started. IT and I saw that no bloggers were signed up so we made a deal. I would try one of the 100 chip super turbos with him giving me $30 for my efforts. So with him having 36% of my action I hit and $80 SNG and prepared for some fun.
I noticed right away that these things are crazy. Guys push in these things with just about any low up card so I knew if I could catch a hand early I would have a good shot. The 2nd hand gives me this:

Now I’m sitting pretty. It would be a total melt down if I don’t win a seat. I have 65% of the chips in play but I also no that Razz is fickle. I loose a small hand and make a steal and we are down to 3 players. I still have about 60% of the chips in play so I can wait it out. Eventually, after the two other players passed their chips around, a player is knocked out and I have my seat.

PE's FTOPS Razz.....part 3
At this point in the tourney you have to make some big hands. Winning some big hands and getting a stack can allow you to take advantage of the weak players who are waiting for top hands to play back with. Here is how my 3rd hour went.
I have 3800 chips and want the big hand. Bets are 150/300 and can cripple me or my opponent at any time. Here is what happened.

pokerenthusiast wins the pot (2,895)
Boooom. Anyway, I hit my 6 and he has to fold. Him re-raising with A23 before having a made hand is why I don’t do it.
*** SUMMARY ***
Seat 6: pokerenthusiast collected (2,895), mucked
Did you notice waffles giving me some railbird action?
After this hand I move up to over 7K and feel good again. I need one more hand to get me into a real comfort zone. Then I brick a few good starting hands and start the 4th hour with 6K.
PE's FTOPS Razz.....part 2
So up to this point in the tourney I have my starting stack. Still being early, this is fine. I’m really trying to accumulate chips at an average rate and wait for the big hand to move me up. Here was a hand that I got away from that could have been very costly.

I ran into some bricks and I was down to 1300 or so chips. We tangled a few times and I won some of my chips back when I hit another big hand.

PE's FTOPS Razz.....part 1
3 hours, 33 minutes, 28 seconds. That’s the amount of time I put in last night in the FTOPS Razz. It was a game of bitter sweetness as I felt I played well all night except for one hand where I melted down. I have a few hands I’m going to post showing how close I truly was to having a great run instead of being knocked out in the top 30 %.
I can’t complain about the starting cards I had. I played about 21% of the hands and only played non-premium cards a few times based on my opponent. I did run into my share of bricks that kept me from continuing with good starts. But we all have those. This really reflects what I did or didn’t do that could have made a difference.
This first one is early but sets the tone of my game for the night.

A Sat for FTOPS Razz
It didn’t stat off well. As I left work, I called home to find out that Comcast was throwing me a bad beat. It seems that all of the services that they provide to us were down and that it could be hours before they get it restored. I don’t have a lot of warm fuzzy feelings for the quality of their services and with the satellite for the FTOPS Razz event starting in 3 and ½ hours, I wasn’t sure what to do. I called up surf to see if I could send him the buy-in and have him play it for me. He already has a seat so he could win the cash and send it back to me for my buy-in. In the end everything worked out ok as all services were running well before game time.
The tourney had 156 runners with 24 getting a seat and 25th getting a little something for their effort. As it began I found a tight table with only one player being willing to over play some hands. I missed a lot of flops until I hit this hand.

From this point on I chipped up some more and eventually out lasted the field to get a seat. I had the pleasure of sitting with Jude and Jeciimd for part tourney but won’t be playing them today in event 14 unless they win a sat or buy in. Jude never hit a hand and Jeci got hit with a suck out that crippled his nice stack. And even though I won a seat, I hope to play a little more solid tonight.
Also, good luck surf.
The tourney had 156 runners with 24 getting a seat and 25th getting a little something for their effort. As it began I found a tight table with only one player being willing to over play some hands. I missed a lot of flops until I hit this hand.

This player liked to re-raise hands. Much of the time he had a little something but it didn’t mean I was going to fold a 7.

I stayed around 3300 chips for a long time. I needed a hand but kept in it with a steal here and a walk there. Eventually I found a nice playable hand.

From this point on I chipped up some more and eventually out lasted the field to get a seat. I had the pleasure of sitting with Jude and Jeciimd for part tourney but won’t be playing them today in event 14 unless they win a sat or buy in. Jude never hit a hand and Jeci got hit with a suck out that crippled his nice stack. And even though I won a seat, I hope to play a little more solid tonight.
Also, good luck surf.

No FTOPS for Me...Yet
Well I took my first two shots at the Razz FTOPS event. No love for me as I bubbled at least the cash twice. The play in these goes from donkish to super tight and I think I need to be willing to mix it up a little more at the bubble. Stealing is important and I think I played a little to tight in both of these. That being said, One of the big stacks doubled up two shorties twice when he tried to push them off their hands. This guy was a real tool and talked crap the whole time. I so wanted him to bust.
I did play multi table some Razz cash at 1/2. Some of the play here is bad but table selection is important. There are some solid players out there and if you get to a table of these it is better to move up or down to get away. Its not that I can't play with them but when there are 5 good players at the table, it is hard to make a buck.
I made a nice run in the 2K on Friday night. I bubbled the final table after being in 4th with 10 players left. I had one of those hands where you are sitting with four cards under a 7 and your opponent has a 9 and 10 up. He calls yo down with his made 9 and you brick the rest of the way. I'm not going to back down in that situation because I want his chips and I know I will win there more time then I lose. Winning that hand puts me in 1st and I can start stealing a ton. Instead I get double my buy-in.

FTOPS Razz: Surflexus
I just won my seat to the FTOPS Razz event. I'll post a few hands later from the qualifier.
Update: Here are a few of the highlights from the qualifier.
I got myself in trouble early with a few hands.

I got a little luck there but it was enough to get me back in the game where I could tighten my starting criteria a bit and be patient. As players were eliminated I moved in to a strong aggressive short-handed game and picked up a ton of pots. This was the final hand of the game:

I'll be working hard to improve my Razz game and try my best to make a good showing in the FTOPS.
Update: Here are a few of the highlights from the qualifier.
I got myself in trouble early with a few hands.

This leaves me with 190 chips. It's not looking very good. I get a nice double up right after that and then I sit at about 450-500 22 hands. This next hand got me back in the game.

I got a little luck there but it was enough to get me back in the game where I could tighten my starting criteria a bit and be patient. As players were eliminated I moved in to a strong aggressive short-handed game and picked up a ton of pots. This was the final hand of the game:
