Well, yesterday ended up being a pretty good day overall. Ended with 3 total final tables yesterday and ended up cashing in the $1k freeroll. Not too shabby if i can say so myself. The last tourney of the night fo me was a $10 NL event and i got to play some more shortstacked poker. The best hand i got the whole tourney was Jacks and i didn't get any action. The second best hand was AK and i got to fold that lol. Hard to lay it down, but it was the right move given the situation. All in followed by an auto call from a tight player. Got rid of it and as i figured he had a big ace (A,J) and the other guy had a pair. The pair held up. Got lucky on an all in steal attempt with KJ. Moved in (shortstacked of course) and got called by AQ. It looked bleak for a minute, but i hit my King and got to double up. From there on it was just survival. It was almost down to the final table and i was playing the best i could with the stack i had. Ended up moving in with AQ (still shortstacked lol) and got called by a lesser ace and i held up. That was the last exit before the final table and from there again, i was just trying to survive. I stole when i thought i could and moved in when i had a decent hand. I was able to outlast 4 ppl to bring it down to 6. Then, from the button i moved in with A5 suited. Really jsut trying to steal the blinds (had less than 5000 chips with the blinds behing 1000/500) but i got called by A8 and lost. No big deal though. He almost folded it first of all, and second of all, i had to make a move as tends to be the case at final tables. It was either try to steal or get wrecked when they come around again. Either way, for the cards i had i did really well. I didn't ever have much, but i made the most of it as best as i possibly could. ^_^
