2nd Place for $1944.60!!

This wasn't a huge win, but it was nice. It was a $30NL on Party Poker. I felt I was the best player at the final table, but I really had trouble getting cards so I made some nice bluffs and reads to get to the final 3 and a huge chip lead. Then the eventual winner bet half his stack (about 30%) of my stack. I had AJ and I had money in the pot. I went all in and he turned 99. His 99 held up and then when we got heads up I got A7 with about 250000 chips. I bet out 75000 and he went all in - I had to call. He turns over A9. It comes out X7X, A, 9 and I lose. I really want to win a MTT! Well at least I made up for a few days of losses.


here are the two hands that cost me - hard to fold AJ and just ran into a player getting all the cards heads up. He had so many great hands - I played my but off to finish where I did. I came back a couple of times after rough hands too!
