Maybe, just maybe things are finally turning around. I just woke up and am getting ready to go to class....Yesterday I played zero hands of NL10 for the first time in several days. The night before I did play several hundred hands and after a while managed to get back into the positive numbers for the month. As the session started, I dropped after the usual beats/coolers but then I flopped a couple nuts straights that actually help up to flopped sets and such. It was quite an unusual feeling as I was always expecting to be outdrawn.

So if I turned it around at the end of the session, why didn't I play yesterday you ask? Well I actually felt like playing a tourney instead. I decided I would try the 22:45 Full Tilt 26$ Token Frenzy tournament. I built up a big stack quickly and basically sat out till the tokens were dished out to the top 44 players. I instantly exchanged my token for the 1:00 24+2 $17,000 Guarantee tournament. I moved up tripling my stack in the first 50 min before losing half of it with AK vs 1010. Then the last hand of the hour (after I had raised 3 outta 4 hands, people were commenting I was on tilt on the chat bar) I moved in with AJ and was called by A6 and 24 (lol). I pushed my stack up to 8600 and it leveled off at about 10K a little after the break. My stack never got much bigger to my dismay. I did make the money finishing 46th and cashing for just a little over 50 dollars. Well pocket change to you guys but 5 buy ins for me. Makes me happy.

Well hopefully I will play plenty of NL10 today in between and after school. No work so I should have a decent amount of free time. I will try to update you guys late tonight.....For now......Back To The Grind...
