Getting Back Into The Action
I played a little Full Tilt tonight but didn’t play enough to release anymore bonus. So far I have cleared $50 and I haven’t lost my shirt doing it which is very easy to do when you start focusing on the bonus instead of playing solid poker. There is still another $50 waiting to be cleared by September 8th and I think this should be achievable.
Most of my play tonight was in tournaments at Cake Poker. I played a mix of heads up matches and double ups. I ended up being down about $10 due to the entry fees even though my results were 50/50.
For some additional excitement I decided to play a couple of larger tournaments. The first one was a $6.60 bounty tourny with 401 players. Even though I was able to double up right of the bat, I ended up finishing in 150th without a single knockout.
The second tourny had some better results. This one was an $11 standard multi-table tourny with 78 entries. I was able to grind my way to the final table and at one point I was sitting in 7th out of 8 with 3500 in chips. First place was sitting at 40,000+. Well things started to go very well for me and with 5 people left I was able to work up to being chip leader. Unfortunately this didn’t last and I ended up in 3rd. The ducks managed to shoot down my AJ. Oh well, I’m pretty happy anyways. The 3rd place finish awarded $103.35 which was a nice boost to the Cake bankroll.
