The Hot 55

Oh well, I´m riding.

Third great cash in 3 months. And finally a "Hot" in which I had several Top50 finishes already.

The luck was on my side in this tourney, won all 60/40 decisions and my KK hand F2T.

But the most important hand was on the Final Table, where I made a very close call with 99.

At the moment I think this wasn´t a good call seen on several facts about the other 2. Think I should fold 99 and call TT+.

But well, such spots are always so close and sometimes you need the luck on your side.!

So the 9 came and all was good although I was first like "NOOOOOOO" when I saw his Jacks.

HU then I was against a very nitty fish? It seemed so.
He gave me nearly every BTN and because he didnt want to deal we had to play it out. I had an edge, so..

But the luck left me in HU and I lost this hand:

Last hand was 77<A8 and the board paired twice on the river and he won with A high.

But anyway gg, could have busted as 7th for 1,5k but 5k more isn´t this bad :P

Holidays

Exams for this semester are over including 3 weeks of learning >5h. This was really tough combined with the fact that the last 4 exams were placed in just one week! (Th, Fr, Mo, Tu)

I´ve already been passed 3/6 and perhaps I will pass them all with the first try? Would be awesome.

But anyway, the semester is over and I have "Holidays" until the mid of October. Weeeeeeeeeee.

This means al lot time for grinding, hanging out with friends and just doing what you want to do!

Maybe even the sun will return some day in this summer and I can spend some time in the sun seen on the fact that I couldn´t go into real holidays with my friends because of the exams. Meeehh.


In these three months I want play a few live tourneys, hopefully with some poker friends.
The "Concord Million" in Austria which I played in April/May will return in October and I´m really looking forward!

Half of the year is over and here´s my graph for 2012 (Starting mid/Feb)

So the stage is set for great 3 months! Keep rocking!
