Running great in Tourneys

On the 17th or Tuesday I played in another tourney on Absolute. This was a $2 NL hold em tourney with 356 entries. We got down to three handed and I had the chip lead until my 6-6 lost to A-Q. I came back to finished second for $90.70.

Tonight (Thursday night) I was feeling hungry again and decided to play in the $3 rebuy where the winner got about $2000. I spent $12 ($3 entry + $3 add on at the start + $6 double add on at the first break). I didn't get much until about the third hour. After that I headed up the leaderboard. I ran out of gas when my AQs lost to AK. I finished in 18th, which paid $90.99. I played well but the cards didn't quite go my way at the end. It's also hard to play once you get near the end especially because you think about the money.

I think I've cashed in 4 or 5 straight tourneys which is a great achievement for me.

Bankroll on Absolute now after starting with a free $20 is: $400.19

Absolute

I haven't played a whole lot on Stars recently but I've still been playing. I've been on Absolute because about a month ago they gave me a free $20. I've been playing limit hold em (newer game to me) and limit omaha h/l. In the past week or so I started playing the $1, $2, $5 tourneys on there and I cashed on Friday, Sunday, and today. Today was a nice day with the tourneys. I finished top 3 out of 600 something in a freeroll and I'm entered in the "Absolute Dream Package Final" and I finished 4th in a $2 rebuy for $59.

Currently I've got the free $20 up to $251.54 and hopefully higher as time moves on.
