A final table! =] but nowhere near the win =[

Well, I did it, got to the most important table in a poker tournament, the final table. Was 3rd in chips for most of the last two tables after getting it in with Tens preflop v Eights for a huge pot at the time, but then two beats just before the final table meant I wasn't in the greatest shape.

Oh, I should also mention this was the $5.5k Guaranteed $11 rebuy on Ongame. Well on the final table I think I folded the first three orbits solid after a ridiculous run of cards and finding no spots at all. There was still ten players in at this point as noone wanted to go out at all despite there being a flurry of all ins at one point, but the shortstacks prevailed everytime, meh. Then, with AcTc in the SB and ~5BBs iirc I shoved it all in over the top of a limper who called with 99. The turn was an Ace and I doubled up to an OK position. A few people donked out after this, then with the blinds at 3500/7000 ante ~800 it folded round to me in the SB with Q9 and 10BBs, and an M or around 4.5 so I shipped it into the middle. However the big blind woke up with A9 and I couldn't bink the Queen or any straight so I ended up finishing 7th for $228. Not a bad return I guess but i'm going for the win everytime and feel a bit dissapointed when I don't. This was the only MTT I played on Betsafe today and loaded up three SNGs. Bubbled two and finished second in the other which isn't too bad as I covered my losses for these and have made a profit of $190 for the day.

Also played in the Pokerisk $3k freeroll and donked out in 69th place with JJ when raised 3x preflop and a call in the BB. 7s5s3c flop and I got check raised to which I shipped all in. He called with the 8sTs which was good when the 2 of spades fell on the river and sent me out, ahh well. Just glad i'm continuing to get it in good.

Elsewhere I decided to put $40 on Pokerstars last night just to play about when there is no traffic on Betsafe and when I tilt abit because of the slow games. Played some $3 18 & 45 mans and am upto ~$80 atm. Won't be playing this too much, just thinking of it as an alternative to mess about on and see how well I do.

Played the earlier MiniFTOPs event where I donked out AQ v TT v KJ not too far in. I'm currently in the MiniFTOPs Main Event and it's the first break & not doing too badly. Been playing alot of small pots in hope to stack someone but not hitting anytime at all, ahh well. A long way to go yet, and a very teasing first prize of $110,000.

Started watching Dexter last night and got through the first two episodes. It seemed slow at first but definately getting into it now and depending on my success in this MiniFTOPs will probably watch some later.

Right, i'm off to take down the Main Event.

Thanks for reading & glglgl,
