Stars 100k ship

2nite was interesting.....last week I lost about 6k and was getting hammered once again today - I came into the night session with no cashes, and after busting the 20k AP I just had the 100K Stars to go.....my stars history is iffy - before this month I would run so awful on that site - after some unlucky spots today I figured my luck was back to reality after my 162 2nd place finish but apparently it wasnt.....ended up shipping the nightly 100k for 23k and change.....I never really had a big stack till the final two tables, then I came into the ft 4/9, and eventually was 5/6 at one point......had actually a funny hand short handed

so we're 5 handed here - UCF has been pretty aggro up until this point - he had the CL for a while and was definitely 3 balling it light from time to time - anyways my intentions were to get in AQ preflop vs him - I felt his 3b range was pretty wide and a small 4 bet might get him to spazz out and ship in worse.....anyways he flats which was odd since he has a pot sized bet left....on the flop I planned on just betting 370k to put him in but by accident bet 37k! I felt like a total idiot at this point - what to do - I figured the flop didnt improve him and hed ship pre with bigger pairs and I gotta stick to my original plan....I shoved and closed my eyes and it was crazy seeing him fold....

when we got HU we were about even in chips and I offered to talk chop numbers and he quickly declined - I guess he looked at my stars stats and figured i was awful....anyways the final hand was when I raised the button with 26 suited he called from the bb and flop came 26A two clubs - he led I raised he called.....turn came an 5 - he checked I bet he jammed - i called he had 78 and i held......felt amazing winning that tournament and probably the best feeling since winning the 60k FTP back in november......Its been a long year playing on Stars without being a winner and finally I can say I am across all the sites.....it was funny too today cause I was in the stars 50r for 350 and ap 50r for 450 and was just watching my monthly profit disinegrate and boom

goodnite all see you another time
