Here I go Again.

So I had seriously considered stop playing poker at one point in the last month or so. However I went to Seneca Allegany Casino and chopped (heads-up) an $120 MTT. I had been wanting to start and account on FullTiltPoker for some time now so I can get rakeback. Finally had the cash and a little extra time to do it.

So I deposited $250 of my winnings onto FullTilt and I Stack Green was ready to go. Started off playing 10 NL max (.05/.1) and $6 sit n gos. Lost a few buy ins and no real end of the downswing was in sight. Until I discovered the $13.75 token heads up tournaments. Way outside my roll but I consider myself to be an above-average heads-up player. I have won 3/4 I played in. So the first one I won I used my entry into FT's 11500 guarantee KO tournament. Finished in 29 outta 712 for 68.35 and collected $16 in bounties ($4 each). The very next night I won another token so I decided to play the 32000 guarantee. Had a very nice run, making the final table, finishing 5th outta 1405 and a cash of $2024. I was in 7 coinflips all night and the only one I lost was the last hand of the tournament. Fitting I suppose because I doubled up the first hand of this tournament on a coinflip.

Plan on withdrawing 1200 to put on my loans and get my car fixed. Roll will stand right around $950 once I get the approval to have FT send me a check. As of now I am playing in $15 MTT, $20 Sit n Gos and 25 max NL. First time I have had a decent bankroll and I am looking to start making decent cash. Could also potentially have a few referrals for rakeback so that helps the account as well.

I am playing some pretty good poker at the moment and look forward to building upon my success.
