Vindication

I played in two more online tournaments last night - here's the synopsis.

First one was another 180 player SNG, same setup as the one last night. I played pretty well - kept increasing my stack slowly but surely, but eventually I was the small stack and had to race with my ATs against a pair of 8's. I ended up losing the race, and finished 23rd (top 18 got paid). Second tourney was a 9 player SNG and I ended up winning that one - my $5.50 was turned into 22.50! The payday wasn't huge, but I needed a confidence boost after a string of non-winners. Only one interesting hand to speak of, and again I was on the short end - this was from the 180 player tourney...

Isn't it funny how the hands you remember most are the hands that you lose. I'm sure there were many hands I could have posted where I came out on top, but I don't remember those as much. :)
