Back in the money!!..yahoo!!

My intention last night was to blast away the cold decks by playing 3 or 4 tables of SNG on Prima and get myself out of this terrible run I’ve been on for the last week. Things do not always go to plan, however, and I ended up on Bodog and I quite fancied the $3k guaranteed tourney with a $7.50 buy in. Again my cards were pretty poor but I managed to make things happen and got lucky a couple of times. Before I knew it 4 hours had gone and I was sitting at the final table in 5th place. I was mid/late with AJ so I raised and everyone folds and I picked up the blinds and antes of about 15k and moved up to 3rd and then I get KK. Well this is the first time I’ve seen a premium hand all night and I’m happy to pick up the blinds and antes again and if I get called I’m likely to be in good shape so I push with the hand and I’m all in. The big stack is now on the Big Blind and I think he had umbridge with my raise on the previous hand so he takes a stand with Ax. OK its a race and if I win I will be leading the tourney with just 7 players left so I’m not that unhappy but of course the A on the flop does make me swear a bit and I’m out in 7th place and a cash of $105.
