OK, flat out, that $1k guaranteed sucked. It didn't say rebuy on it anywhere, but it was. Spent $15, never did anything. Sucked. However, even with that we have had a good day thus far. Entered a $5 freezeout (no rebuy, they're the devil) and went deep. Really deep. Made the final table as a midstack. A field of like 155. Not too shabby. Called an all in from a mid and shortstack at the final table with pocket 9's. They held up against a-10 and k-10. woot! score one for the home team. This jumped me up to a big stack and i stayed there until we got down to 4 handed. Took a hit with Ak when someone moved all in with Queens, but i bounced back when i picked up queens and doubled up. At this point we are 4 handed and everyone is about the same for chips. Lots of going all in. No major confronations. I picked up Jacks in the big blind. One limper from the button. I put him on a hand because we hadn't seen a flop in ages and knew if i just raised he would probably move all in. So i saved some time, moved all in and he called with A-9 o. Looked good for me after the flop, no ace. Still good after the turn, no ace. Then, thunder struck on the river with an ace. You have no idea how torn up i was to see that. This left me with basically one round of chips and i just moved in with junk. Got beat and that was it. Went out in 4th and took like $42. Not too bad, but i really was in position to win it. I think i made a mistake though. Should have just checked my jacks and then bet the flop. He missed and would have had to fold and i would have picked up a small pot. Only problem is then i run the risk of an ace hitting on the flop and having to fold, but still, a small pot. Nothing i can do about it now. Just something to remember for next time i run into that type of situation. Overall a good showing though. ^_^
