Some Personal Bests

Well I am having a great week pokerwise.......Best run I have had in over 10 months. I've been playing a lot more ring games for the last couple of weeks so I can get my points for my reload bonus (halfway there) so I thought as I have the points I might as well play the freerolls this week. The 1K monday to Friday, 2k on Saturday and the 10k on a Sunday, Accept on the last Sunday of the month when its the BIGGIE.....the 50k Freeroll. Well I did great in the 1k a few nights back, Thursday to be precise. I had a real slow game and played very few hands. I was card dead for most of the game but when i ddi have the odd hand here and there i took down some nice sized pots and that helped me to scrape onto the FT....................OMG I made the FT of the 1k. I don't think I had ever made it into the top 50 before in that event so the FT was fantastic for me. $30 richer and feeling a lot more positive about my play.

Well I was already in 2 games when the 50k started last night and i was finding it really hard to keep up with 3 tables going so after hitting a real nice hand in the 50k and getting up to 5.5k I donked out of my other 2 games so I could concentrate fully on the 50k. Well we don't wait all month for this game to come around just to go out early because we are too busy with other things do we??? Well I don't. Anyway I am sat on between 4.5 and 5.5k for the next christ knows how many hands. The cards were awful and I was playing tighter then a ducks a*se. Late position and I get dealt 99 and the flop comes 99? I slow play and a guy hits a flush on the river and goes allin with just over 3k so I end up taking down a big pot and im now sitting on 10k in chips.I went card dead again and never managed to get my chip stack past the 20k mark but.......To cut a long story short I ended up finishing 94th and bagging myself $100. YAY ME.

So last night I get ready to play the 1k but I forget its earlier tonight and I am caught doing doing when it starts so I get my son to play for me so i can get the dinner done adn tehn take over again..............Well that was the plan but he was doing so well I let him continue to play it for me while I sat wiith him, watching his every move. I got him o get a little more aggressive at times and make some allin moves which he did after I started yelling at him, Don't limp in, push. Well he did push, more then once and he made it to the FT and ended up coming 3rd and bagging mum another $100. WTG son.
