Running well...


When it's going well, it seems to come in waves... The other night I played in the midnight $75 12k guarantee and took 2nd. I played solid and took home $3100. Some wild hands in the tourney, one in particular I’ll share. Wasn't in the hand but here's how it went down. We were down to 10 and two guys get it all in preflop. They show TT and JJ. The flop comes out 44J. The Js take a 99.8% lead. The turn comes another 4 and the river comes the case 4 for a chop… How bitter was that guy.

Then last night I played in the $100 +9 Satellite to the Aussie $1k Monday tourney (winner there will be going to Australia)... Only 15 players in the game but I was getting cards and rolling. We got down to 5 and I had a monster chip lead, I had about 36k in chips and the next closest had 6k and the other 3 were right around 1k. They were only giving one seat and paid the top 4… When we got heads up I still a sizeable chip lead but with the blinds only at 150-300 we could be here a while and we were. I ended up getting stuck and all of a sudden I found myself with only 8k in chips to his 37k. I double up a couple times and soon we were square. I almost blew it, but I ended up taking it down. Was a tough one, we were heads up for over an hour.

Let’s hope this wave continues, well at least though Tuesday...
