Ok, so I had a bad run last night and even though I said I wouldn't touch any more tournaments for a while, I needed a confidence boost. So, I played a little $3 single table SnG. Managed to place 3rd when I busted out on this hand. I think I couldn’t have played it any other way, and if he hadn’t hit the lucky river card, I would of been in commanding lead for head to head.

What do you think?

Well $6 is better then losing $3. Least my confidence is up a little now anyways.

Okay, just played another. Couldn't resist.

Dear Oasis88,

You finished the tournament in 1st place.
A $15.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

This has made my day. I went into the final two with a massive chip lead and won with AK after my single opponent went all in with 9's.

I'm so excited.
