Saturday September 22 Update

Today was a fairly big day. I didn't play much but the few times I did went very well. I started the day off with 60,981.60 chips and ended up with 86,953.60 (26k chips...not too bad). I played for about an hour so I was extremely happy with my performance. I played two tournaments today, one 5k buy-in where I got cocky and finished 6th and one 2.5k buy-in which I won taking home 11k of chips.

Here's a few highlights from the day:

• I had pocket K's and raised the pot to 100. The person on the dealer button re-raised 300 and everyone else folded. I re-raised to 500, the dealer re-raised again and I went all in. The dealer called and showed pocket Q's. The flop comes up 3 K A, obviously exciting me with my trip K's, the turn is a 9 and the river comes up a Q. In the end I win with trip K's over trip Q's and pocket a nice 8k worth of chips
• I have a J and A, everyone calls 50 (I was playing 25/50 blinds). The flop turns up 3 J A so I raise 50 (I wanted to slow play the hand because the table wasn't very daring. One person calls. The turn is a 9 and I raise 500, the other person calls. The final card is a Q, I raise 500 but the person folds. I was hoping for a much better result.

Those were my most exciting hands. I had a few other big ones but didn't write them down.
