Ship 3rd in $5k Guarantee...

Well finally I got a decent cash to shout about. I managed to donk my way to 3rd out of around 400 runners for just under $700 in a $22 buy in freezeout.

Although I was among the short stackers when I reached the final table, and therefore I am pleased with the result, I am a little bit haunted by my bust out hand.

3 handed I picked up A 8 off suit in the BB, the button folded and the SB (huge stack) raises. I somehow misclicked and instead of shoving all in, I min raised. He called, and flopped a flush draw with his 9 4 of spades. I had like 12k left behind and there was like over 100k in the middle, I got the rest of my chips in. He made the flush on the turn, good game me. Meh.



I am still running half decent on the cash tables, since the last update (between Monday and so far today) I am up just under 3 buy ins. I am maintaining a very satisfactory win rate over 12,000 hands on $0.50-$1.00 of around 7BBs/100.



So, I am through yet another $1k profit barrier. I have harvested a profit of around $2.5k since my initial deposit on Party Poker (two weeks ago!).

Here are some more celebratory pictures...(these are really motivating me!).

Poor cat...

Susanne picked this one...Poker in Sweden, talk about cold calling!


So the plan is to complete 20,000 hands at $0.50-$1.00, and then step up. Finally beginning to enjoy my poker again!
