40kG cash

Yeah, so I'm not in Vegas as I'd hoped to be. After a minor heartbreak in the massive stars WSOP seat satellite, I hadn't played poker online since. Wasn't really an intentional break - just out of town the following weekend (where we did play some live poker) and then had a house full of people over this past weekend. Between that, working late pretty regularly the last few weeks, and buying a bike (and spending time riding it after work) I'd been out of the online poker realm for fourteen full days.

Got back on the horse tonight: failed to cash in a Pokerstars $22 180-man (out 92nd), the Full Tilt $20k Guaranteed (out 221/1264 after building a stack early including stacking somone first hand), and then a decent run to finish top 25% (110th) in a Party $109 with ~400 entries (but still about 50 people outside of the money). Finally, managed to cash in the Party $40k Guaranteed again, finishing 78th place out of 2572 entrants. Top 220 paid, so I managed a decent run once ITM but was absolutely card dead for the last portion of the tournament. I doubled up twice with A8, once right on the bubble and once with around 150 left, and those were by far my best hands between the bubble and going out. Overall a losing night despite 300% ROI on the $22 invested for the $40kG - I should have played some SNGs in the background to get the hourly rate up, but was browsing 2+2 instead. Still a decent run, and pretty close to a decent payday. Might be my top finish in the 40kG, which is one of those tournaments I'd really like to pull out a final table for my resume...
