Im still looking at making money again I have been so card dead on Carbon it's not even funny I guess that's poker though.

I just played the $2.2 sunday tournament to earn a daily mission tournament coupon. I didn't win. I built up a good stack but then I made a stupid mistake and I made a call I should have.
My last hand I went all in preflop with a pair of jacks and there were two callers and I lost.
A few hands before that is when I really lost the tournament. Preflop I had king-queen offsuite and I flopped a ace high straight. The opponent that beat ended up having a full house or quads, I don't remember which. Anyways after I flopped the straight I checked it and then he checked. On the turn and river I checked and the opponent raised. and I called. On the river he made his hand and as I'm checking to him I'm thinking he can only beat me with quads(a jack fell on the flop and another jack came on the turn or river) or a full house. I lost this hand but I didn't lose all of my chips at this point but this was pretty much where I lost the tournament because that put me down to between five and ten big blinds.

I just finished the daily mission freeroll and I didn't do so good.
I set my alarm to take a a short nap before the freeroll but I set my alarm for the wrong day so I ended up starting about fifteen minutes late.
My first hand that I played I over did it cause I was still kind of groggy.
I was able to hold on until after the first break but I didn't last very much longer after that.

Poker is about making good decisions. When you got it in w KK and AA v smaller PP, you had HUGE positive equity (81%). You have to take those chances---that is what good poker is. You will win if you keep making those decisions. Trust yourself!

I just finished the daily mission on carbon and I finished 85th out of 246 so I did alot better than the last one but I didn't make it into the money.

I just finished the daily mission on carbon and I finished 55th out of 325.
I almost made it into the money.
On my last hand I had ace ten offsuite and I had less than ten big blinds so I went all in cause it was folded to me.
I think I was in middle position and the opponent that called was on one of the blinds.
The opponent called with 8-3 hearts and I think his eight caught on the flop.
In this tournament the top 54 positions got paid so i'm the bubble boy.
8 f-ing 3?
When I play tournaments I seem to always get into ten big blind range and that isn't really that great.
I need to win more with the hands that I do play and I need to play more hands.

I just finished the daily mission freeroll on carbon and I didn't do very good, I didn't even make it to the first break.

I played the daily mission on carbon and I didn't do very well.
But I am deep in the bovada/po freeroll. I'm on the final table right now, but I don't think I'll be there for much longer.

[Joe]

I just finished 3rd in bovada/po freeroll!
This is the first time that I have played this tournament.
Now I think I have enough to play zoom poker or whatever its called.
