Where did it all go wrong?

Bashed out a session of MTTs last night and while I managed to FT the Warwick 8 game as well as the HU, even closing the HU when Callum graciously allowed me to flip him (never in doubt from that point) instead of let me get owned by a mere SNG player, I won 11 dimes having come 2nd [1] in a $75 on Full Tilt. Was extremely happy with the way I played, including a nice small 3 bet to “induce” a shove from the button only to find out I was flipping with his QTo anyway. Swongs. When we got HU I was dropping all sorts of angles like “am a 1/2 HU reg” etc which didn’t get much of a reception from him in the deal making sense. I certainly would have preferred a deal since we were playing HU for $5k but instead decided to let him win despite a couple of fairly sick call downs from me. I lost AQ vs AK for a huge pot then won A9 vs AJ before finally losing 77 vs A3 for the rest of the loot after a river raise went wrong when he semi-tank-called top pair.

Still, it’s enough of a win to grant myself a day off and update the somewhat neglected blog as well as catch up on all the awful American TV shows I love so much. Also I suppose I can justify booking a hotel in Hong Kong now rather than opt for slumming it on the exceptionally clean streets.
