2nd

I finished 2nd for $144, one brain dead play heads up cost me the win.

My dry spell of FTs in the $4s has come to an end

7 /9 going in (I think)

Dropped 17K in the last 20 hands...ran into 3 big pairs, got away for dirt cheap every time

I busted the first 2 or 3 shorties to build my stack, but the proceeded to make sure I made sure to run into JJ+ about 3 or 4 more times.

Ended up losing a race AJo vs the BB's 99 to bust in 5th.

Oddly, my first finish HIGHER than 6th that wasn't a first.
(after 80ish games)

First day of doing a double digit amount of 20/180s.

Yeah, I'm having trouble with the 4/180's as well. I haven't played 80 yet but I keep getting in with the best hand but it never holds up.

[DragonZ]

havin 4/180 probs as well

last one i played i cashed but only got 13th due to pushing with KT with about...6 BB and a smaller stack called with 44 and it held, putting me with about 2000 UTG with 600/1200 blinds. i build my stack to about 6000 but UTG i pushed in 800/1600 two cards that connected, not only did KT behind me pushes, so did AK, and finally Q9 called in BB...flopped the gutshot but missed...

[Snarf]

PM me if you want.

p.s.

Best advice to give based off the little info you gave is to play more. Best hand holding up? etc...it happens eventually.

I played the 20/180's casually for a bit with lots of bubbles, busting with AK in 19th place stuff like that. I busted twice last week on the final 2 tables with AA allin PF. Don't get frustrated, eventually you'll break thru them. My previous best finish was only 4th, but now I've had 2 2nd places in the last 5 days. Variance is a bitch.

One of the best things would be watching videos on Pokerxfactor. Mattster has some good ones.
