I went on a bad run on the $23 games, gambled a little and am now over $900+ first time in my online sit & go career!

I’m a happy camper, even though I am taking Bankroll-risks…

Flopping a set on that board is pretty great!

The hand before I was leading, pick up jacks, he has AQ, doubles up. This happens the hand right after…

I took a steam-break after losing over $200 yesterday, and decided to try my luck in the 9-player turbos again, as I’ve been able to get excellent results there playing supertight and OVERPLAYING my STRONG hands. People tend to overplay their WEAK hands a lot in these games…

Anyway; played 6 $25+2 tournaments simultaneously and did extremely well, cashing in 4 out of six, winning 3, ending second once. That’s 50% wins and 16.67% second place — not so bad!

This means I recovered my loss due to risky gambling yesterday, and I hope to calm down a little now and go back to the $11.50 games for now…

By the way, I ran very well! I beat AA with KK and also won a lot of coinflips when I was short.

Great flop for me…

I was hoping he had Ace Ten but he was stronger than expected. Good for me, cold deck for him…
