Finally had a good week last week and was able to boost the bankroll a bit thanks to a 7th place finish in the $3 re-buy MTT. It was a 6-handed tournament and I ran really well, but bubbled the final table (and a nice pay boost) when this hand happened: I was in the BB with 8-9 and 40k in chips running 5th. The SB with 160k chips called and I checked. The flop came K-8-9. He min-bet for 2500 and I shoved all in. He snap-called with K-3 and rivered the 3 for a higher two-pair. Heartbreaking, but I was happy to pull out some profit. I pretty much broke even the rest of the week playing $10 and $20 cash games, and $3 and $6 SnGs. Here's how I finished my week:
Play Money: 13,614,000 Up 682,000
Real Money: $1,312.61 Up $19.56
Target for next MTT level: $1,650 ($33)
Target for next Cash Game level: $2,000 ($100)
Target for next SnG level: $2,200 ($110)
I hadn't played a MTT in a while and it was nice to have a good run. Especially since I had to deal with a miracle hook-and-ladder by the Dolphins to knock me out of my survivor pool on Sunday. I was stunned for a good hour after that game. I made plans to hit the casino on the 29th and I'm hoping I can finish the year on a positive note. This week will be more of the same as last week. School is not a distraction right now and I'm able to put all my focus on poker. It showed last week as I had probably one of my best online weeks in the past two months. Let's hope I can keep this thing going!
