March Madness

March continues to be a good month. I managed to win a 5$ 90 player BStack tournament for $112. on full tilt. It was full of bad beats, lucky hits, good plays and just a lot of fun. When it came down to 2 players I had about 35k in chips while my opponent sat on 235k in chips. I climbed back to a 2:1 lead when my 66 hit a set on the flop and it was all over baby. This makes 3 final tables in 10 days and has bolstered my account from 5$ to over $320. Thank God I don't have to reload.

It continued on in the 3$ turbo. I play these if I get knocked out of the 7 or 8 pm tournament. I was down to 90 chips after being in the top 1/3 after I made a bad?? call on a flush draw and then lost a coin flip. Thought I was out but to my surprise I was still in with 90 chips. Through it all in with a 69 os. ( I like this better than A9 os) when my 9 pairs up and I win. next hand had 10 10 and hit a third 10 and all of a sudden I had 3500 chips. Lots of players in and blinds as well. Ended up in 43rd out of 500+

Back in the Saddle

OK, I'm not a great blogger. I've always been told that I am to succinct in how I write or how many times I write, but that was not the reason I have not blogged lately. The truth of the matter was that I was pissed and sick of loosing to both suckout call and stupid calls on my part.

To the point I was ready to give up. (ok in my mind only) I was down to less than $15 in my account planning to just give up or pause anyway where some how I managed a 5th place final table appearance in the $10 7:00 full tilt poker. and yes I did have one major suckout (about time) where my q's won over k's. (See previous blog where you must suckout to go deep) May have gone further but one guy kept sucking out on the river to tie. Won $210.

Less than a week later I final tables in second in a $3 turbo. Another $86.

So instead of quitting, I'm now looking at bracelet races for WSOP and that's a lot more fun than where I was a week ago.
