FTOPS failed!!!

I just learned a new trick! I have posted my results since starting the FullTilt project. Notice my winnings only show $1100+ but I also have $500 or so in bonus money and rakeback.
These results are only for cash games...

Well I played the FTOPS tournament on Sunday evening, and set out on a gameplan that I wasn't going to be afraid to go broke. But early in a deep stack tournament is no place place to go broke with a single pair. I played aggressively and had earned a couple of early pots, but I get AK in middle postion and make my normal 3x raise...

Oh well...I learned and it only cost me $7.60 to try. The big name professional, FTP Pro, Erick Lindgren ended up winning the tournament and $277k+.



I have played another 1380 hands Sunday and Monday and lost a whopping $1.30. Bankroll now stands at...$5628.85
