Squeaking by

Sorry I haven't updated over the weekend, I have had some holiday parties to go to.

I just got finished playing a 3000+ field tourney on Stars and I am really pleased with the way I played. I just barely cashed, but that is not the point. I was dealt KK in the first 20 minutes and after that I got AQo once. Both hands, I might add, I lost. But yet somehow I still managed to cash even without any premium hands.

I was just simply pushing when I could, and I never got called. I was around 6-15 bb's for about the last hour and a half that I played out of 3 and a half hours of tournament play. I made a couple -ev folds (from a chip equity standpoint) on the bubble where I probably could have pushed, but at the that point in time I only had 8 bb's and thought the pushes could easily be called and I felt it was actually better to fold as there was less than 10 people to the money.

Outside of that, I have also been playing more 5 card draw cash games. As of right now, I have logged a total of 14 virtual hours (multi-tabling). I am winning just shy of 4 BB's an hour. Take away one poor session, and I would be making over 5 BB's an hour.

My account is slowly starting to creep back up as I now have over $1400 at Pokerstars.
