Knock Knock Knockin on the big payday's door

Another very strong finish today - another not very big money. 11th of 319 runners in tonight's Full Tilt 30k (100/9 entry). Good for 400 bucks. Gah. Took a couple of sick beats, issued one (runner runner flush, you are so often against me, thank you for blessing me this time). I just went stone cold card dead at the wrong time, when I was at an active table that wasn't letting me steal (I had to try a couple times just in case), and I just wasn't connecting when I had moderate strength hands. I went out on a coinflip when a player called over half his stack with ATo - I had 99. The ten on the turn sealed it.

I'll leave you with this bit of entertainment...


I'd been relatively aggressive at this table. Not really aggressive for me, but more aggressive than your average player. I'd recently raised a player who had less than 2BB after posting his big blind, and showed ATo.
