Bail Out!

Saturday did not go very well.  I played a very limited buyin schedule because I had four miniftops challenge freerolls to play as well.  Sadly, no buyin panned out and I think I got $2 from one of the freerolls.  Saturday’s total was -$34.

Not wanting to spiral downward after Friday’s limited success, I mostly watched football on Sunday.  I did play the three miniftops challenge freerolls and the Reefer Poker community freeroll.  This is a $3k freeroll that they hold monthly if you are a member of their forums.  Last month I banked $200 from it, so I was anticipating this game again.

The Reefer game did not go well, nor did the first two miniftops games.  I was stuck playing the last freeroll without much prospect of a payday it seemed.  But fate smiled on my freeroll skills.  When the final table went heads up, we made a deal where I gave my opponent $12 of the first place money to not have to play it out.  I had a pretty big chip lead.  So a no buyin day with few prospects turned into a +$104 day.

Making a final table in a 900 player tournament was good for the confidence too.
