So I got back up to Seattle this week after spending the summer in Italy and then visiting my parents for a few weeks. It's great having two monitors to play on again, and I've been trying to log a lot of hands at NL 200. I feel like that I have been playing well this summer, and already cashed out enough to pay all my school related/party related expenses for the coming year, in part thanks to a nice 3.4k tourney score while still leaving me decently rolled for NL 200 (almost 40 buyins).
Played the first WCOOP event and cashed for $375. Thought I played very well considering this is my first tournament >200 dollar Buy in, and only had all my chips at risk twice do to being able to bully without risking my stack. I did draw a bad last table, had some VERY aggro guys and really had to sit and wait for a hand.

I was C/R all in on a J or K board as well, so I couldn't feel too bad. Had a one big misstep in which i lost half my stack, but was able to recover almost immediately with AQ holding up against T7ss.
In terms of cash, lost some flips yesterday

I really liked how i played this hand actually, as id seen him coldcall before, and his range was AK,AQ, and 77-QQ. When nearly pots the flop i know its not a set, and not a missed AK-AQ, meaning TT-QQ; more likely TT-JJ as i thought there was a chance he would 4bet QQ. I feel the flop call might make the sb do something crazy, as i know i have NO fold equity versus the bettor. I figure any Q or K i shove as I really think he will have a difficult time calling then with TT or JJ, and if he does i still have some good outs. Any club or A i'll attempt to extract do to his nittiness. As it turns out, i ran into QQ, but I still think i played it very well. Comment up if you think otherwise, but this was a very player-dependent move.
Best of luck in the WCOOP everyone. I'm playing the $530 in an hour and a few other smaller tounries as the fish seem to be out in full force this weekend, and i feel like i can get some more experience. If you haven't checked out Antadar's CR videos, I feel they are very helpful for tourney play.
