Won First Finally

I'm back. I've been busy the last couple weeks so sorry for lack of posts. Not like I update often anyways, lol. Truth is I've got a new job and have been getting back into the groove of being a working stiff.

I took first in a $4 180sng on Stars the night before last. It's my first first place finish in a mtt with a field over 100. I've gotten second and third but no firsts. It feels good to get that monkey off my back. I feel like Phil Mickelson when he won the Masters in 2003. Congrats on his Masters win this year as well. The final hand of the sng was pretty funny. I had 200k+ and he had 50k. I have 89o he raises 3x bb, I call. Flop A9x two clubs. I check, he bets 15k I call. Turn Jc. I put him all in for 24k with my pair of 9's and a flush draw with my 8c. He calls with 2h3c. LOL. Typical $4 tourney play. I remember getting lucky only one time. TT all in vs AA and turned the T. If I lost that one, I would've been pretty close to crippled stack mode. But I won, because I rule.

Last night I played a ton of poker. I played 3/6 limit for a while, I shouldn't have but I did, lol. I bought in for $120, ran it up to $400, left with $180. That sucked, but at least I didn't lose any money. After all was said and done, I ended up making $3 for the night. Needless to say I was stoked!
