New Challenge - Take Two?

Well I started a new challenge.

However it is already almost over :(

Speakeasy started a challenge to keep moving up stakes as his bankroll grew, throwing proper bankroll management to the wind.

I had $35 on Full Tilt and decided to try the same type of thing.

I started on an NL $25 table and promptly worked my way up to $60.

I moved up to $50 NL and hovered between $65 and $60.

Tonight I found a nice table and I had AQ with a QJ8 flop and my opponent only had $30. He check called me all the way down and showed AK after a 5 and 3 on the turn and river. Huh? OK we'll make a note about him and now I'm to $75 on this table :)

I lose a little bit back and I'm at $65 when it happens

BAD BEAT TIME

I raise UTG to $1.75 with AA

Same guy as before is in BB and raises to $3.50

I reraise to 10.50, he pushes all in (he has me covered)

I call DUH

He shows QQ

and the flop has a..............Queen of course

bye bye bankroll

I have about $15 left. Down but not out. I'll get on a $10 table and try to work back up. If not, I'll deposit another 50 and try again.

I have rakeback there as well so I'll get a little bit back middle of next month.

Only 19000 more points until I can get a Full Tilt Hockey Jersey!

YAY PSO LEAGUE WIN

$5.50 tournament on Absolute

I only have $9 left in my account. Before the tourney I just prayed I would cash so I would not have to transfer.

I am pleased to say that I outlasted 55 other players and won $84 woo!

I was down to 600 chips at 75/150 and managed to work my way back up the leaderboard and took a nice big lead with 5 left.

The tide almost turned 3 handed.

I had 52k chips and the other two guys had 10 and 15k.

20k guy raised to 4800 on the button and I had 55 so pushed all in. He called with AJ and managed to hit the J on the turn. We were about even in chips now.

I managed to suck out on the small stack and got into heads up with a 47k to 37k lead.

Heads up lasted all of one hand when his set ran into my nut flush :)

So I won $84 + PSO gives PSO points to the top 5 and I made 10k points (equiv $100) yay

finally a nice tourney win. man its been so long :)
