Good day at the poker tables today.......

I played in a couple of tournaments today.

First tourney was a $2 buy in tournament. I actually had enough bonus points (earned by playing at the website) to buy in for free with my points. There were 211 people in the tournament and the top 30 places paid out. I played very well and finished in 25th place. I won $3.40 for my effort. I actually got all-in on my last hand with the best hand. Unfortunately, the other player hit one of the three queens in the deck that could save him on the last card, so I was out.

Second tournament was a $5 buy in tournament. There were 220 people in the tournament with the top 30 places paid out. I played very well in the tournament and finished in 19th place. I won $8 for my work in that tourney. Irony struck in the final hand as the other player caught one of the three queens in the deck on the final card after I was a 4.5 to 1 favorite when I put my chips all-in. Twice beat after both players had a 6% chance to win on the final card. Tough to have that happen not once, but twice in one day. But you want those types of situations. Always better to be the one not praying in those circumstances.
