My day was going pretty good, was about running about even money. I noticed that my pocket pairs have been running lame on hitting their sets. So I look to my pocket ducks for vindication at last...

So, I won the bronze freeroll last night (see post below) and today was the hu shootout for the 4 winners of the 4 freerolls. 5k to first plus a chance to play hu against full tilt pros for 10k ea head. I got a luckbox draw in my first match, and the guy wasn't even there.. so I won that pretty easy. After the other table was done we negotiated a 4k/1k payout, and... I lost. :s
The match was pretty even until I button rose with 32o. Call from him. Flop was T high, check from him, I check. Turn paired me. He c/c 2/3 pot. River blank and I checked behind hoping my bottom pair was good... lol he flopped a T. Wasn't too big of a pot but it gave him a pretty good lead. After that he got up to a 2:1 lead, I had AJo on the button standard raise, flatted by him. Flop T62 rainbow, check ahead and I shove. Call from him shows J6, no ace he wins. Still got 1k out of this which is pretty awesome considering my br was $300 two days ago grinding 10NL, and now its $2800.

A lame performance by me in the final table, but adding 1K to my br is nice :D

I just won the bronze freeroll on FTP.
$1500 cash money
I know its not that much compared to other greats on here, but for me this is just amazing. I just recently started playing seriously online (end of June), and have been playing 10nl mostly trying to build my previously lame $300 roll. I haven't really tried mtts too much, even irl I always seem to be the bubble boy. Once we were at the ft, I played astonishingly solid, and only luckboxed once early on when I was shortstacked vs button steal. Ok thats enough of the bragging, I'll edit some pics later. :D

<3 u all
