KK

Hello guys, trying out a blogging tool from my blackberry.. i hope it works. just finished my days grind. took a little poker break for a week for personal reasons. emptied my bankroll and resolved to start from scratch grinding the lowstakes tournaments. enter 2.20 dollar 8k guaranteed. early test with KK and i lay it down on J75 flop opponents had JJ and 55. i endured a torrid start in particular and game in general. and got a few streaks to an early chip lead. then a barren stretch got me clamoring for another chance.with 56k chips late on 22>AJ, AK>KQ and 88>44 aipf back to back to propel me to t$380k. then the big hand and even bigger question. cld i lay down KK on 695 flop. turns out he had 67 and decided to call my shove with umpteen bb's 7 on the flop and an x river brought me back down to earth. had pill to swallow but i have seen worse.i couldnt rebuild and sank to a set to drop out in 39th place. i will be back tomorrow. maybe i wont have to laydown my Kings. see ya.

Destroyed by a Phenom.

so i continue my resurgent run at the large field MTTs. yesterday was Sunday and as we all know on pokerstars its most usually a heck of a sunday , every sunday. i popped in and played a couple of MTT's and ended up cashing in 5 out of the 6 i played though i couldnt manage the deep enough run in them. i did manage to finish 162nd out of 19000+ that started the bigger sunday 11 as my best performance of the day followed closely by a similar run in the 5 dollar with 2 rebuy and 1 reload.
It is here that i almost pissed my pants when i got moved to the same table as swedish online tournament crushing phenom (uaredead lol), the full awesomeness of him was seated with position on me. i honestly wanted to shake his hand but ofcourse that couldnt happen. and it was perhaps fitting that he was the one that got to eliminate a shortstacked me on a hand he got lucky on the river actually. He sits atop the TLB 2011 leaderboard for all that care and i promise my revenge in one MTT or another.

I finally get my season campaign back on track and promise to finish as far up as possible going into the business end of this year. Representing Nigeria and Africa i will make my mark.
