Throwing away a promotion!

Today's promotion at the Casino is high hand every hour pays $50 and four 2's, 4's, 6's, and 8's pays $200. The four of a kind promotion has been a failure and in result, many people have not been showing up. Once I arrived at the casino, there was no game. I helped start the game 5 handed and figured at least I have a great shot to win the high hand. A few hands into it, a guy gets his name on the board for high hand with a 10 high flush. A few hands later, being aggressive in a short game, I turn a flush with my K8 of diamonds. After I bet on the turn, everyone folds and I much. Oh no! I forgot to show to prove my high hand. As it turns out, the 10 high flush holds up (meaning my King high would have too) and I mucked $50!

I guess things have a way of evening themselves out because I end up going on a rush for the next hour winning $98 and winning the next two high hands for a total promotions of $100. Add the $13 slot play and the $1 in casino points, I make $212 for the day!

$5.50 NL Holdem MTT - 138 players

One of the most disappointing tourneys I have played in a while. I managed to coast to the late stages not really catching anything great. Then I was able to get Aces and double through. I used my chip stack to bluff and steal blinds and many pots playing small ball poker to give me 2nd in chips with 15 players remaining. Then the mistake! In the big blind (200-400 blinds) the button raises to 12oo and has 8,500 chips remaining. Small blinds fold and I look on the screen to see pocket fours. Instead of just calling and trying to take the pot away on the flop like I have been doing, something took over me and made me raise him all-in which was a pretty bad play. He call with his pocket nines and I get no help. My 22,000 in chips goes down to about 10,000 and I could never really recover. I end up finishing 11th after many small stacks show downs beat me. I get a $10.35 prize.

Full Tilt ending balance - $372.56 - yippee! I am in the $300's!!
