Coinflipped with a two-headed coin.

...And I lost both times. First off, this was the best tourney day I've ever had. I finished the day up 70 bucks total, with three cashes of more than 24 bucks. As you know, I thirded the 1 buck PL this morning. I also dominated the 4kingpoker.com private league game, which paid just under 25 bucks. In that forum, you get awarded points based on how you finish, and the victory put me into 3rd. At the end of the league, top 3 finishers get paid.

I also did the 5 buck at 9 with Chase, and he took a quick ouster. I, on the other hand, made another deep run. I was over 110k and made a solid pre-flop laydown with JJ after an utg raise and an all in. I would have gotten rocked.

I must have gotten AK offsuit a half dozen times in the 3rd/4th hour. I had been winning consistently with them until the biggest hand of the night. I raised in late position with AK suited and the dude to my left shoved for 60k. I had 80k left, and I made the call. He showed 8s and naturally, he held. I was crippled down to 20k with 1500/3000 blinds.

A few hands later, I picked up AK offsuit again and shoved second to act. 10s reraised all in, and QQ made the call. Of course, 10s flops a boat and I had no hope left. I went from in shape to make a run at a 4 digit payout to out in 27th place for a measly 24 bucks. I'll take it, but I can't help but think that should have been the big one.

At least I didn't get hebrewed. Didn't come across any poons neither, at least none that directly affected me.

The bankroll is just south of 234 now. Not bad, considering I never got above 200.40 before today. IDs of the week coming next...
