$2k NLHE today

Still feel like I'm playing super well despite the results. Yesterday in the $2500 PLO I got all my money in in level 3 with the nuts on the turn in a 3 way pot for nearly 20k. I had one opponent drawing dead, but the other had top set and a flush draw for 15 of the remaining 36 cards being outs, and I didn't hold. It's like the fourth time I've gotten my money in good for a monster pot in the early stages of a tournament so far though. With my style of play it's usually unusual I'm playing huge pots that early, but kind of hard to avoid it with the nuts! if i win any of the four and have a huge stack that early I have very little doubt in my mind I can make a pretty deep run. My timing has been really good too with both bluffs and value bets, and I just finally feel really in tune. I think not playing many live events this year made it take a few events for me to get in my comfort zone again and in a groove, but since the $5k I've felt REALLY good about my play.

i'll be updating via twitter and PXF texts again today. Good luck to everyone not at my table!
