This is a repost of my poker blog from blogspot. You can see it at http://allin4flush.blogspot.com/ - I will probably continue to repost here for a little while to see if it's worthwhile.

Had a good run tonight.



It's funny, when we were down to 36 players, I was short stacked and talked to Jeremy on the phone. We talked about how great it would be to make the final table. I told him I'd be happy with fifth place, as that was the earliest place to pay three figures.

I went into the final table as the short stack, and had a lot of scrambling to keep myself alive. I doubled up once, but that was as far as I could get. Luckily, a few others got knocked out before me.



Fifth place paid $111, so I am pretty happy with that. Sure, first was my goal, but I am happy with my play so no complaints. As you'll see here soon when I do my recap, this decent cash really takes the blow out of a tough month.

And the next time I talk to my brother, I need to state that I'd only be happy with first place. Heh.
