Totals for the day: Late night Online Ring Game: +$167Morning Online Ring Game: +$557Edit* Online Multi Table Tournament: +$87.50 I played for 12 minutes at night and decided that the $167 take was plenty especially since I've been on some losing streaks. It's my first day of no more corporate, and it feels great. I woke up at about noon, brushed my teeth and fired up some online poker. Seven hands and seven minutes later, I'm up $557 and decide that it's time for a break. Out of those seven hands, I folded 5 and won 2. I called a pre-flop raise to $11 with Ac3c and 2 clubs hit the flop. It was checked around and my third club hit the turn, one player bet out $15 and I was the only caller. A blank hit the river and my nut flush was actually the nuts. I put him all in for $40 and he called. I show, he folds; pot = mine. The second hand goes a little like this: *I decided I didn't want to play anymore cash for the day so I joined a small $5+.50 MTT (multi table tournament) to kill some time. I sat tight and played mostly premium hands except for this one: That was very early in the tournament and dropping the hammer is always fun. After about 3 hours of play and two 5 minute breaks, I find myself at the final table with 4 players left and I get QQ in the BB. The chip leader who has been bullying all along doubles the 3k BB to 6k, I reraise to 9k only (This was a mistake I think, I should have pushed much harder, maybe to 20k or even all in at this point). The flop was K36 and I checked because I was afraid on the K. He bet some random amount that screamed to me he didn't have the K. I reraised all in and he called me with what? FIVE FUCKIN' SEVEN. What hits the turn? Oh, a seven. What hits the river? Oh, a seven. What do I get? 4th place. Despite that random runner, runner beat I am happy with my play throughout the whole tournament and proud that I made it to the final table out of 232 players. Cutting it down to 4th place for a $93 prize on my first day of work as a poker pro feels like an accomplishment already. Until next time Poker!
