Incredible happenings..

Well, not all that incredible.. just a hand that had me laffing my ass off... not at any particular player.. just at the sheer sillyness of it.... this hand happened after a series of about 4 or 5 obvious blind steal attempts, by several of the players seated... I had K8s and was in early position. so, I limped.. hit an inside straight draw, big bet to kick out other draws... another big bet to hopefully get the big stack out... which is the only one i needed to beat to stay in the game... by the time the river came over, i was ready to leave.. then i saw the chips heading in my direction... was i suprised... heh.. here ya go... not entirely horrible decisions made on my part, cuz, ronnieX had even more horrible decisions made....no, that is not true... i made my decision early to be aggressive with this hand no mattre what.. i heard and read, you have to be willing to lose, in order to win.. and Ronnie did have the 4 to a flush.. but, still he was drawing with 3 others in, so.. that is an iffy call.. he did not have too much invested, i don't think...

oh i finished 57th, banked 19 bucks and some change... 13 dollar profit.. I think RonnieX finished ITM too...

also played in one 10+1 SnG, took 3rd...and a freeroll on UB, where my set of 7's were beat by a set of 10's... I was all in.. all well.. and that is pretty much all I played..

11 bucks(SnG) + 6 bucks(MTT) = 17 in buy ins.
20 bucks(SnG) + 19 bucks(MTT) = 39 in winnings.

39 - 17 = 22 in earnings for about 3 hours time.. no complaints here.. i have $100 dollar bank roll now....so, I think I will try ring games for a bit...plus, ( beating a dead bush here ), I still need to figure out why I wasted 55 bucks on pokertracker...or, if i wasted it, I should say.
