Luck & Profit!!

just a brief post as work is manic!!!!!!

went on FT this morning and...... it worked!! i can play again, so of course i went for my usual $2.25 turbo, and didn't do much in 1st 10 hands, but we were down to 8 already, and then i raised bout 4xBB with AQ, flop a beautiful QQ7, i checked raised got called and took it on the turn to give me a healthy chip lead!! then 2 hands later i get 66, i call, flop 65A, i bet a less than half pot, then there a raise and a short stack goes all in... easy call not much action pre flop so no AA so must be almost ahead, 2 players all in, they show 55 ouch unlucky! and A2!!!!! well with no help we down to 6 already and i have bout 6K!! from then on i just raised it hard and before long we down to 3 i have double what 2nd has and my aggression continues

3rd is almost out so when he goes all in it only cost me 800 to call, so i do, oopps he has AA and doubles up. so i tighten up a smidge and soon i get him all in again this time i well ahead he has something like 58 and i have A9 or like that, think i hit my pair and we heads up!!

at last, so with a clear lead when i get AJ i just hoping he raises, he does i put him all in... he calls now for the showdown..........
he has..... 33!!!!! ok so a pair but i got some outs.. flop 23x not so good, turn 4 ok so 5 for a str8!! river a blank damn that see's us bout level or him slightly ahead, a few hands later after some raising and folding i put him all in with A6, he calls and shows 63, YES!!!! he got almost nothing
flop xxx, nearly home.... turn.... 3!! that damn 3 again, river nothing and i out in 2nd!!!!

pleased with 2nd but should have been 1st, 2 horrid all ins and the 3's did me... still i got $5.40 so a good $3.15 profit

now for the luck... i also put $10 on the 5c/10c tables, not much happened went down to bout $7 when i raise to 50c with AQ, 1 caller flops comes AQx i bet small he reraises all in for $3ish i call and take it!! up to $11, now i could have quit with my small profit but i was still playing the tourny at the time so stayed in waiting for some cards

a few hands later i raise or call a raise with A7clubs, flops comes down 95x with 2 clubs, so i bet half the pot, the other guy raises me and i must admit in a rush of blood i think i got the nut flush draw and a long shot str8 so i push my remaining $8 in!!!!!

now i know this was way over the top, and he didn't hesitate to call, he turned over QQ and i was praying for clubs!!!

well no clubs came on turn or river, i didn't even really look at what cards were so i was just sitting there waiting for it to say i need more chips when suddenly the chips all came to me!!!
i looked in the chat and i had made a runner runner str8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

suddenly i had $18 in front of me, i said sorry in the chat but the guy was having none of it telling me to F*** off, charming

anyway with $8 profit there was no way i was hanging around to screw this up so i left and the account now sits in profit for the 1st time on about $59!!!!

i haven't heard from FT bout the tourny yesterday that i couldn't play in but i don't think i had the fee refunded, so i recovered from that $2.25 loss there and then some!!!!

maybe this can be the start of some form, though i hope i not need this much luck each time!!
