Playing with the Big Boys now…

Well, after so many freerolls and $1 tables I decided to ramp things up a bit. The other night I came in first of six on a $10+1  table for a $39 payout. Then I came in third of nine on a $5+0.50 table for a $9 payout. Last night the sight crashed during a $2+0.25 table and they gave me the fee back plus $5. So, I’m on a run here. Tonight I decided to take a big risk. If I loose then it’s back to freerolls. I was in last place most of the time but landed a couple of cards and next thing I know I’m in second with five people left from nine starting. One guy landed a great hand and knocked two people out. Now I’m in the money. I notice that one guy folded very quickly a couple of times. I check the last hand history and sure enough he’s sitting out. He either got disconnected or hit money and left. I raised when he had the big blind and he folded each time. I had a three times chip advantage over the other guy. He went all in and I called with KQ unsuited. He had 10 10 in pocket. Flop showed a KQ and no 10 came up so he get’s knocked out. All that is left is to raise every hand so the sitting out guy folds. It was a $33+3 table and here is the payout….

    Hey andrew,
    Great to see you winning!!! 148 bucks is quite nice to see - sorry that i have not been “there” to see it. school has been kicking my butt, but its my final term and ill graduate here next month (may 21st to be exact). after that i will have my degree and be DONE with school…WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! then i might have time again to take some of that 150 away and help pay off all of my bills/loans. But just thought id drop a line since ive been M.I.A. - still kickin’ - just have had no time. hopefully we shall face off once more, until then
