A Huge Day

I had a great Sunday at the online poker tables. Things started off really well; I felt very focused and was building some huge stacks. In the Sunday Warm-Up, I had KK lose to AK all-in preflop for a stack that would have made me 6th/90. That was frustrating. I got down to 19 players in a $75 6-Max tournament on Full Tilt, but had top two pair get knocked off to a flush draw for the 2nd largest stack in the tournament. That was frustrating. I made a final table in a $20 rebuy on Full Tilt but had A7 lose to 64 all-in preflop to bust out in 7th. That was frustrating.

Vindication came via the Bodog $100k. For the second time in seven weeks, I finished 2nd (this time, out of 810) to win $14,000. Later in the night, I finished 4th (out of 688) in the Bodog $40k to win another $2,700.

I cashed in 6 out of the 11 tournaments I played, made three final tables, and won $16,076, the most I've won in a single day. Days like this are the reason you sit down to play in the first place. It came at a perfect time too: one week before Michael and I head back for a 10-night stay in Vegas. Needless to say, I'm very grateful for the luck I enjoyed today.
