Staking so far...

Until last night, I had played in $451 worth of tournaments, with a total of $174 in winnings.

Played a decent schedule last night, including the 6k $30 on Blonde.

Early on, doubled up with AA v QQ, and promptly lost it all with AK v AA.

After a while, pushed for a 2.5bb raise with JJ, and called the all in from a loose player who tabled KQos.. I held..

Managed to misclick a shortstacks all in call with 87s against their AQ and managed to bink the straight :)

Twice I raised with Jacks preflop, both times called, and both times rewarded by low flops and a subsequent fold.. which helped me into a decent position..

The big hand of the night for me unfolded..picked up KJc in early position and put in a 2.76bb raise ( ty Rooks) a shortstack pushed as did a bigger stack.. was a very easy call putting in the extra 1.5k into an approx 10k pot.. rewarded by a 3 6 J K 7 board :)

Finding a raiser before me holding AA was good.. esp with an A on the flop.... also KK on a K hi flop with an all in ( and no straight/flush possibilities)

Got to the final table 5/10 and fairly comfortable, and basically, after the 1st couple of people went out, I went on a rampage.. 35 >> AJ , AJ>> AK, KT>>55, KQ>>A8, 22>>AK, A5>>32 to win

$1.7k ftw tyvm :)
