1st in $50 $6k guaranteed!!!

Woohoo!!! So very very excited. After getting waaaaay too drunk last night and not doing very well online, I regrettably signed up for the tournament - the same one that I took 4th place in a couple of days ago for $410. But, since it was Sunday, Ultimate Bet guaranteed $6k which was cool.

There weren't a lot of really cool hands that I can remember. I just ran very very well, especially at the final table. I was 2nd in chips going in and absolutely cruised. I was super aggressive p/f and just never really got played back at. With about 93k in chips and the chipleader in the BB at about 115k, I picked up AK on the button, knowing that the chipleader was about to make a stand with a wide range of hands. I raised my standard 2.5x the BB from the button to 5k, and, as expected, he made it 17k. I shortly paused and moved in for my 93k. He quickly called with AQ, and I held as a 3/1. After that, I had a huge chip lead on the other three and got heads up with 210k against a 20k stack. I was a little bit nervous when he doubled through me and had it up to 60k at one point. On the final hand, I raised 77 from the button, and he bet pot to around 20k. I decided to call hoping for a ragged flop. Flop came 4h 3h 3x. He moved in for around 40k, and I called. He showed A9o and I faded the 6 outer twice.

I made $2100ish for my efforts and am officially on fire since the beginning of November. After that I treated Nate to Mizu, a very good Japanese steakhouse. Hibachi steak and shrimp: the mortal nuts.

Well right now I am watching Tiger Week on the Golf Channel and playing in the 7:30 bounty tournament. I'm shortstacked though after one hour so I'll need to strike up some magic.

Hawks play the Redskins this weekend in the wildcard round of the playoffs, and I am trying to pwn some craiglist seller trying to sell 4 tickets for $100 a piece 2 rows back on like the 35 yd. line. We'll see if they are legit.

God Bless,
