The grind that is poker....

So I've played a few tourneys here and there since my 1st and 2nd place showings this past week. I actually sat. into the Sunday Million and worked up a stack of about 35K, but couldn't really do anything with it and busted in 1456th or something like that.

Two nights ago I final tabled the same $20 freeze out that I took second in and had the chip lead going into the final table. I played an ok table execpt for one hand (which is usually how it goes). We were down to 5 when I picked up AQ in the SB. A player who had been playing pretty aggresive both pre-flop and post flop made a huge raise from the button looking like a blind pick steal to me. I had him out chipped roughly 3 to 1, so I pushed on him and he insta called with AK :(. I lost the pot and was never able to pick up anything else to give me a shot. I busted in 5th bringing home $683.

I think I'm going to play a shitload over the next 24 or so hours since I have the day off. I am hoping for some deep finishes and hopefully a final table or two. I have really been playing well and have now set a goal of a 10K bankroll. I'll get back soon with some reports of how the next 24 hours go.
