Setting it up.

I cashed the 3 buck triple shootout for the first time tonight. Dominated my first table, but didn't get anything going in round two. Obviously, my ousting came via poonage. 10J offsuit limps utg. I shove 700 with 10K suited from the big blind, figuring I could steal the pot. This genius made the call and naturally the turn was a J.

I'm on life support in the 11PM two buck that I got 40th in last night. Don't expect much there.

Also, I'm back on track in the 5 card category. As of now, I've made the cash and am 6th of 19 left. Here's the hand that set up a potential final table run:

Time for final table #11. I hate the number 11. Updates to come.


Update: Typical. I bubbled the top 12, which was my goal. Just blinded away with garbage hands. Still in this two buck for some reason. The blinds are 75/150 and I have 1k left. Just delaying the inevitable.
