My internet connection is acting crazy tonight. Hopefully, they will have the problems fixed within a couple of hours.

I am not even sure if this post will go through.

Well 'grats all and well played! I should have squeaked up another spot or two. I thought points could only be gotten from finishes at the top 3-5. Oh, well, maybe next quarter!

However, on Pstars I finished third. THIRD!! Out of 6199 players! I’ve now won two seats to weekend tourneys that pay cash. Hope I can finish high when it counts!

That hand _was_ jacked, dammit.

Afterwards I dug out my Pstars name and played a freeroll. 4500/9000. My QQ got taken out by a K2 (unsuited) who rivered a third deuce.

Tonight, with my lack of life, I’ll probably play some more freerolls over there.

Lol. No, it took 4 hours to win the seat, it took another three to bust me out at third place. I still have this really bad feeling I’m gonna go to the cash tournament and be card dead. Still, I got two shots and however many more I can get playing these freerolls.

Yeah. One of these I like more than the other.

\*\*  
Then again, I guess getting 5th for the quarter would be the ultimate bubble?\*\*
