Hustler $1,000

Played the championship $1k event yesterday. 10,000 in starting chips and a decent structure (albeit 45 minute rounds would have been better at 60 mins). 107 entrants, placed 22nd. No comments other than I played very solid. Patient, and never got it in bad other than the final hand but based on 12,000 chips in BB with 1,000-2,000 blinds + 400 ante ... any two cards probably called for the shove. Most pivotal hand was when my AK lost to set of Jacks with a flop of A-J-x. That took me from 40,000 to 15,000. Got it back up to 25,000 but by then it was 2 card holdem and I never caught a big enough hand for about an hour to call all the shoves to my right. Played the 5-10 NL with a small min buy in of $500 (that game allows up to $2,500 buy-in). 100 bucks profit over 4 hours, though I did have it up to $1k profit then got sucked out when my A-A lost to K-K with a river K. Played too many hands though ... and must fix that leak. Though it may be boring, if I endeavor to yield consistent profit from this game, I am simply going to have to knit up after a run-up, and play less hands overall. Stop the retarded limp-calling bullshit also. Aside from the occasional time when I am in late position and getting 6 to 1 or better to get in. LATE POSITION.
