The run continues!

Well, I must say, it's nice to FINALLY have some luck and a good string of wins put together. I've been really happy with the last 2 weeks of results, and the last 2 days have been no different.

While browsing through the games list on Full Tilt on Friday, I noticed a $5.50 HORSE mtt with 3 pros in it. Knowing that my step daughter really wants me to win her a t-shirt I decided to give it a go. Although I don't play HORSE much I am pretty good at it. I remember that my first ever mtt win was a HORSE freeroll. Well, I battled and battled, went up and down, and had a lot of fun along the way. I wasn't able to get to a t-shirt, but I did get to play with pro David Bradley at the final table for a while, which was nice. I ended walking away with 5th, for $24 and some change, and a good feeling about my HORSE game.

Yesterday was OFC freeroll day at Doyle's Room. Now I have a history of tanking big time in any big game, or any game where I am representing a forum. Not sure if it's just me, or if my luck really does stink in those games lol. Yesterday though, I broke that trend too. I finally got a good run in one of these, and again, I never looked back. I took it all the way to the final table and took down 2nd for $139. It was the most wonderful feeling to get yet another monkey off my back. To make it even nicer, Poker Nuts In Canada, the forum I play for in these events, pays me $25 just for making the final table and representing them. Cool EH!

Then, last night, after having relaxed a bit, I went over to 365Bonitas to play the Canadian and North American league games. The Canadian games are always small fields, and as it happened we were in the money when we started the game lol. I did one re-buy though, and to make a profit I needed to finish at least 2nd...and I did. I didn't mind losing though, since it was a friend who took 1st and solidified her spot at the top of the leader board for this month. I am in second for the month...and that's fine by me lol. As for the NA league game, it had a few more players. 90 in total I think. With a $300 GTD prize pool I was really hoping to make final table and win some decent cash. I did just that. The cards were coming, I was being patient, and I was winning...and never stopped. I took the game down, winning $90 for my effort, and a bunch of points in that league too.

So now, after a great stretch of games and some good luck, I am finally feeling like this is the best run I've ever had. Even though the amounts aren't huge, it's been a huge boost to my confidence and to my bankroll. I now feel great about playing, which has been an elusive feeling for quite some time now. Let's hope it continues today with the OFC buy-in game at Doyle's Room, and the league games at 365Bonitas tonight. Oh, and also in the PJD FeltStars game, where it's time I put in a good effort and came home with some money lol.

Good luck all and hope to see you on the felts EH!
