Hot run continues

Went to my every-other-Tuesday night outing at Overtyme (they actually run every Tuesday, I just go every other week) yesterday, and was determined to have a good week - mainly because I will now have a tavern ranking after getting my minimum number of games in for the season. Had another solid day, so let's get on to it!

First game saw me do what I've doing consistently the last few weeks - building up a decent stack early, and by the end of the first level my stack went from 10K to 26K, without having to show down any hands...great start! Because of this, I was able to play a more LAG game for a couple of levels...and while my chip stack started to yo-yo a little bit, I managed to get to the break (end of 4th level) with 36K in chips.

Went on a little run to start the level right after the break, as I not only doubled-up eliminated 2 players, but I eliminated 4 players...all in a matter of 5 hands. Went to the final table with about 70K in chips, and navigated my way to a truly great final 3...well, 2 out of 3, anyways, since the top 2 ranked players in the state were also remaining. Back and forth among the three of us, until I eliminated Dave in 3rd place, and heads-up we go. Bob, I think, outplayed me for the 20 hands or so we played HU, but I did hit my straight on the turn to double up for a big chip-lead, and then won a race by spiking a king on the river to end it. Win #3 on the season, and the first at Overtyme.

2nd game was a strange game, seeing how loose a couple of players were. Just played a patient game, methodically chipped up, and somehow took 4th - but if not for a horrible river, probably cruise to another HU match. As it stands, I'll be #1 ranked at both Overtyme and Buckshots for the season once this week's games are updated into the system by Debbie (Tournament Director). 5 TOCs in 8 games at Overtyme - a ridiculous run for those fields!
