Quick Update

Just one tournament this evening, the Friday Special on the Brand New Party. Seemed like a solid structure for what I played, which was just over an hour. I got no hands, and was scrambling just to keep my stack at the starting amount. I went out bluffing a big stack who I thought was putting a move on me. He wasn't. Oops.

I two tabled the 5/10 limit game on FT for about 45 minutes. I finished up $240 bucks, so I paid for my tournament entry, and a bit. I was getting decent starting hands, but I was hitting some flops and hit a few draws. I wasn't getting skewered by the river that badly, either. That's a happy combination. Here's a nice hand:
