It took playing my favorite game PL O8 and overcoming doubters (slb159) but with a fine trap in penultimate hand the Mookie 2nd Chance was won.

Aussie Millions Out Day 1
1st level was card dead and trying to get a handle on the table. To my immediate Right was Jeff Madsen and to his right was Peter "Nordberg", Tim "TMay420" was two seats to my left. Certainly played weakly enough to get labeled as "weak-tight" but picked up one small pot so I was only down 600 at 1st break.
2nd level picked up a few chips from BB when flopped middle pair and flush draw with my 6s9s seen free from BB. Nordberg and Jeff were competing frequently for my BB but after a checked flop and Jeff betting out a little bet when 5 hit turn I called and got to see my weak flush come on river. Unsure whether Jeff was betting air or not. Few hands later had AA hold up against Jeff's QQ on a JJ high board.
My favorite hand of 1st table occured after a limp from EP I called with my AhKh. TMay420 in SB raised to 1200 (bringing pot to 1800), decided to just call to see if I connected on flop as I was pretty sure he had big Ace (don't know for sure why). Flop came with Black K and two tiny hearts (Ka-Ching). Tim checked I bet 1500 and he check raised me to 5000. Decided since we had already had AA run into AK twice at table and that likelihood of KK just making sets was low to re-raise to 15000. Tim thought for a while and decided KhQh would be hand I most likely held rather than set, asked me if "I would show if he folded?", question absolutely convinced me I was freerolling so I answered "sure"
Tim pushed, I called, and he looked a little pale as bricks hit the turn and river for a chop. Next break there was a bit of discussion on whether he had done right thing amongst the more seasoned tournament pros to protect the 7k chips already committed with 20k behind.
Managed to peak around 39k chips before losing 8k with KdKx in a hand where Erica Schonberg had flopped nut diamond flush and Marc Karam had flopped a set of Ts. Think Erica was going out that hand without my donkey turn call but don't believe Marc knew she already had made flush when he put her all in on turn and rivered boat.
Few hands after that from UTG + 1 and (150/300, ante 25) I picked up AdAh, I raised to 900 and was re-raised by one of the locals to 2k. From what I had seen of this local once chips went in the pot he was seeing a flop so I re-raised to 15k (leaving me 12,500 behind), he called my 13k raise (leaving ~20k behind) and we saw a Td, 5h, 2d flop. Decided only a complete idiot would have made call without KK or QQ (even if he has AA I'm freerolling the running flush) and pushed. Unfortunately for me I found the idiot who would call with TT and was gone. Talked to Mark Karam (6th place, congrats) during next break and had to remind him I was no longer at his table. Mark told me and Dags "That was a sick beat"
There are worse things in life than going bust Day 1 in January in Melbourne. Full Tilt did live up to it's advertising and it was "The Poker Trip of a Lifetime". UIGEA makes this seem so likely to be true.

Arrived in Melbourne
The highlights.
Talked to Dr. Pauly in the poker room will buy him shot later.
Went to Full Tilt Poker reception, got to share a bad beat story with Dags, Gavin Smith, Howard Lederer, Ben Roberts and Mike Matusow about flopping quads 1st hand of tournament and losing.
Got to congratulate Huck Seed on tilting Phil Helmuh on Poker after Dark.
Spent a long time with Andy Bloch as he explained why Doyle folding QQ to Chip Reese's KK after an 8 high flop in the HORSE event meant one of them misplayed the hand.
Listened to Gus Hansen explain why he is willing to go all in with 2nd pair and gutshot when he feels opponent has AA in Omaha.
Talked to Erick Lindren about what can be bet at golf amongst the poker pros.
I am still here on a freeroll.

Poker Goals for 2007
Have read many blogs including Goals for 2007.
Many of goal list include things like play in Main Event and win Trip out of Country for Tourney.
For a lame blogger and inconsistent Donkey like me one has to be more modest
1) Grind my bankroll over $1000
2) Use better Bankroll Management and not play games above bankroll
3) Make Good decisions at Aussie Millions
4) Once bankroll is sufficient to play 22:00 Full Tilt $24+$2 Final Table
5) Play less poker and enjoy Family more.
These should be managable Goals as I have accomplished numbers 1 & 4 & 5 in the past.
2006 was a miraculous year in that I freerolled my way into Main Event in 2nd tourney attempt at seat (1st attempt was a freeroll as well) and then in my 1st freeroll attempt won seat to 2007 Aussie Millions. Would have cashed in 2nd attempt at Aussie Millions freeroll but was mistakenly under impression that I could not win anything for top 7 in October freeroll. With 25 to go I was sitting 1st but I wanted to be big stack at Final table rather than cruising in so I could be "bought off". After busting out 18th learned top 7 paid $18k.

Pockey Kings are killing me
Pocket Kings should be folded pre-flop.
My streak of losing with pocket Ks at showdown in tournaments has now reached 12. Opposing Hands have been:
AA once
5d3d once (Chip leader made move pre-flop I called all in)
AQ once (He pushed pre-flop I called)
88 once (rivered Quads below)
AJ 8 times (including below)
As an added bonus I lost twice with KK in a limit ring game once to AT once to Jc6c where betting was capped preflop. (Though 6 saw flop), KhQc4c flop brought capped betting on flop and turn as there were 4 to the river, my KK, a KQ and a QQ along with might Jc6c only to see a rivered club with an unpaired board.

2006 Year In Review
Bankroll Growth as been pathetic, will wait until end of year to determine net change but it started small and ended small.
Bankroll Management is also bad, I play above my bankroll. Luckily job can supplement when needed.
Freeroll Play has been spectacular. Won Main Event Seat (did not cash) , Won Aussie Millions Seat (yet to play). From Bankroll management perspective it would be ridiculous for me to buy into either of these tournies but as a next stage Freeroll no problem. Here's hoping we enjoy the vacation in Melbourne. As far as Aussie Millions play goes "I just hope I don't embarass myself" . This is also what Ron Jeremy told a reporter as he walked into Main Event this year.

Main Event Day 2
After completing Day 1 with a respectable 26,200 chips, decided to be a little more aggresive in position. Stole a few blinds the 1st hour, but then in the span of 3 hands lost my chips with 2 overpairs after flop.
1st was just 99 but after 763 flop was pretty sure BB had A rag that paired the rag when he led out with 3k bet. Called but then 3rd player in hand raised to 9k and BB went all-in. Folded when I decided one of them had set. Was wrong guy to my left had flopped top 2 and this laydown kept me in tourney.
2 hands later my QQ was taken out by SB. Flop of J42 and turn of 3 took me to rail when I ran into flopped set of jacks. Maybe next year my reads will be better.
Line of tourney was listening to Ron Jeremy being interviewed, to paraphrase gist of his comment was that "I just don't want to be embarrassed by my play"

Main Event Dead Money
Through some amazing rivers (77 beating KK), (AJ taking out AK on rivered straight) and pocket 9s hitting sets 4 times including 1 river I have punched my ticket to the MainEvent.
With a little bad luck of not picking up a hand early I could make 1st break. This wll be a monster test of my giving off tells and being able to lay down good hands but not great hands. Alternatively I may let my inner Donkey run wild because this is just a freeroll to me.
Good Luck to all who attend Main Event.

$200K Ka-Ching
My Bankroll has been taking a beating lately. Read Change100 blog on being on cold streak at ring games which gave me inspiration to focus my remaining meager bankroll on MTTs.
Took $8 to enter satellite for April 2 FullTilt $200k guarantee. Was fortunate enough to:
- Win a seat
- Have Network Connectivity Problems early when I was dealt JJ and not even get to call pre-flop when someone else had KK and flop was 8 high.
- Money.
With 25 left sitting 20th I was unfortunate enough to have AA cracked by 88 which cost me 100k main pot and would have jumped me up to 6th. Made a couple of mistakes in play because I was in 3rd when we made money.

Tilt Away
Tilt started late last Night on Bodog's Hi/Lo Omaha tables when I had A278 Double suited where I flopped 9 Hi Straight and Nut Flush draw. Bet hard flop and had 3 callers Ten came on Turn and I was re-raised by Donkey that now had top 2 pair. Ten on River gave same Donkey an undeserved Monster pot with his KKT9. No low and just top pair I wonder how he even calls the flop.
2nd Tilt trigger was when my Ac Qc got beat by Qs 8d after a flop of Qh-4c-3c, I bet 1/3 pot after and was checkraised All in. Variance is a bitch but losing to two outers always pisses me off.

1st Million Dollar Tourney on Stars
Won 2 tourney entries in $11 Double Shootouts so decided had to use 1 in real touney. 5699 entries today and I fortunately reached money. We were under 1000 left before I picked up my 1st pocket pair bigger than 66. Never had an AK and went out on one of 2 times I had AQ when an AT outdrew me. My inner Donkey was under wraps as I saw 9% of flops with my crappy cards.
Saving hand of touney was when I limped with KJ from button, caught 2 Ks on flop, last K came on river and SB who was on Flush draw that busted decided to bluff at Pot.

First Blog
Decided it was no longer enough to merely read other blogs and take plunge into creating own which could allow entry in blogger poker tournaments.
Been playing far too much online at FullTilt, getting Rakeback through UltimatePals has put bright light on how many hands I have played this year. Due to one fortunate tournament I am up for year but still not sure if I can overcome my inner Donkey as well as the many Donkeys one finds online.
