Terminal

I played two tourneys tonight. The Forum tourney and the $109 $25,000 guaranteed on Stars. I get a hand I can't let go of in the forum tourney.

This is typical it's not a bad beat or anything it's just I get put in a situation where I have to push and I don't catch. This is not my real concern anyway because I am still in the $109.00 and we are getting close to the money. Again I decide I am not here to just make the money I want to win. The guy who raises is raising alot and I know he is full of shit. I am hoping he will fold, but if he doesn't I feel like I am going to be in good shape. In fact when I saw his hand I couldn't believe how good of shape I was. We are down to 128 players at this point and 90 get paid.

This sends me over the edge and I decide it's time to join a $200.00 NL cash table.

The first hand I play. It's folded to me on the button.

I folded the next hand pre-flop, then I raised UTG with KJo everyone folded and then I left. I feel much better now. In 6 minutes I made $254.00. Don't try this at home kids as it was a stupid thing to do, but sometimes stupid is what it takes.
