Woohoo! just played a $10 NL hold 'em tourney and it was something else. So i was doing ok about midway through the tourney about midstacked. Not great, but not good either. So i picked up AK suited. So, i raise, get one caller. Flop came out QJ9 or something like that. I know the QJ for sure. So i had 2 overcards and a gutshot draw and ended up getting it all in. I missed everything and was severely crippled. down to like 200 chips and the blinds were about 150..maybe i had less than 200, don't know. anyway, blinds were coming and i moved in with 7-5s and got insanely lucky and rivered a flush. Then picked up aces and doubled up again. In about 5 hands i got right back to where i was. From there it was smooth sailing to the final table. knocked a couple ppl out, it was great. So i entered the final table as a midstack. Ended up getting lucky a couple times and picking up aces again and getting into 3rd place by the time it was 3 handed. Took the chip lead by knocking the 3rd player out. Once it was heads up it was smooth sailing. I had the chip lead and dominated with aggressive play. Lost the chip lead a couple times but ended up getting it back. The final hand i had got him fairly shortstacked and raised with k-8o. he called and the flop came out k-8-x. I bet and he went all in, game over. I took down my biggest tournament win to date. Woohoo!
