September Quest - Day #3

At last! A couple of decent scores in my quest. I only played 2 games after coming back from the pub, but managed 2nd in both for $29.70 each. At least it halted my bad run of 8 in a row without a cash. A win in either would have been nice, but I'll settle for 2nd in view of recent results.

Game #9: Nothing really of note. I played very solid and held the chip lead for a bit, until my A5 ran into AA. Oops!

Game #10: Doing steady until a great stroke of luck. I had AK which I'd been playing very aggressively today by coming over the top of early raisers. However this time I got called by KK & JJ. However I was lucky to spike my Ace on the flop and triple up. It's nice when luck evens out from time to time. I held the chip lead for a while until I was heads up. We were about even in chips, but I made a bad call of my opponent's push with QT. I'm not sure what I was thinking as I wasn't beating much. He had A5 and I was down to a meagre 130 chips v 13000. With a bit of jammy luck, I managed to double up several times in a row to get almost level on chips again, but alas I couldn't hold on. I'm just kicking myself for not being patient enough early on and waiting for a better opportunity.

Never mind, I can sleep better tonight anyway.
