Its been a while!!
I'm officially back in the online poker scene.... I've finally got everything straight with money and settling in at my new place, with roomates I can actually get along with this time. I was ready to play again about a month ago, when I discovered that Neteller is shutting down for U.S. customers to deal with poker sites... yuk.... Oh well, I found ePassporte. After a grueling 2 weeks or more, I finally got approved with them... Then I had to wait another 9 days for my money to show up in there. But finally, I'm on Full Tilt again. I deposited $300 and played some .50/1.00 NL cash. I decided to play a $10 rebuy tourney at the same time too... The cash game started off slow, but I won a couple nice pots and ended up about a $60 winner in that. The rebuy was a different story though. There were only 52 entrants, and I was stuck $40 after the break, with a smallish stack. I managed somehow though to get to the final table, as the short stack of course. I was patient, although I had to push a couple times pre just to take the blinds and antes. Before I knew it we were 4-handed. I was 3rd largest stack and went on a monster rush. The rush was only 3 hands long, but man it was a big one. I doubled the first time through the leader. Then after about 2 nothing hands, I knocked out people in 4th and 3rd in back to back hands. I had about a 2 to 1 lead starting HU, and it didn't take too long after that. I raised pot size on the button pre with A4dd and he called. The flop came A A X and he checked. I'd been continuation betting the whole time the size of the pot, and I didn't want it to look fishy, so instead of slow-playing I bet the size of the pot and he pushed on me. I instacalled and he had K3 for a stone cold bluff, thinking I was continuation betting obv :) So I won that tourney and about $700... feels good to be back. Last night I played the $9k guaranteed and went out 30something when my KK lost to 1010 allin pre :(.. Thats poker though. I've been doing pretty well at .50/1.00 NL though and plan to continue playing alot more now. I'll update a little more now too :) Later!
