              Experiencing a little bit of variance in the beginning of May.  On the brighter note, I only need to win four more seats to complete my schedule for FTOPS which are #13, #20, #22, and #24.  FTOPS #22 is their most prestigious event for a high stake buy-in of $2,620, this event used to be a $5k buy-in event but decided to cut it in half probably hoping to pump up the field and boosting the prizepool.  That will be a tough event to satellite into and may have to buy-in direct if it comes down to it.

              My curse of the bad Sundays continues as I couldn’t even cash in any tournaments.  I’m putting in some time to study on how to play in large fields and maybe it’ll change the way I run on Sundays.  FTOPS starts this Wednesday and I’m really excited and expecting to do well in a few events.  Study! Study! Study!

               Back to the norm of losing flips and hands where I’m dominating my opponent preflop.  I lost a good amount of money today not cashing in any tournament but one satellite for a small amount.  It was really frustrating bubbling the $75k as I had a top 15 stack for most of the money bubble duration and I got into a hand that would’ve put me at a top 5 stack with good contention in making the final table but I got super unlucky causing me to not even make the money.  Here’s how the hand went down:
