Double Shootout victory

Well, today started off a little harsh. I got knocked out 12th in two different satellite tournaments on Party Poker. I had the small stack at the table and pushed from the SB with 87 of clubs and got called by a stack that had 3x my stack in BB with A5o. I hit two pair on the flop and thought I was in the clear and then runner runner to lose. Shame really.

On Poker Stars I played one SNG so far this morning and got knocked out on a 3-way hand in which I was up against AA's once again. Lol.

I have been playing the $11 Double Shootout tournaments on Poker Stars for entry into the $1,000,000 Sunday tournament. I have played 3 so far this week. The first one I played yesterday and got knocked out with AK vs. JJ.

Then today I had AA's and went to raise and somehow it only minraised when we were 3-handed. I was really pissed because I clicked the slider but I just hit raise button, oops. This guy hit a str8t on me when I pushed having him covered by a lot on the flop. He called with 9T. Then on the next hand he flopped a flush when I hit a straight and pushed on the turn. The guy that beat me made some comment about thank you after he hit the straight to crack my Aces. He ended up finishing 4th and no satellite seat.

I immediately signed up for another DS and was kind of shortstacked the whole time. But I worked my mojo and ended up coming back to be heads up against a very weak player who had a good sized cheap lead on me for a little while. I eventually took down the first table and then went to the second table where they had been waiting.

The second table was nice. I had a total fish to my right who donated some chips my way a couple times. The key hand was when I had 77 in the BB and he limped on the button with QQ. The flop came J47 with two spades. He had no spades, I had one. He min bet the flop after I checked, then I reraised him 3x and he flat called, then on the turn he min bet again with a 3 coming. I pushed all in in case he was on a flush draw. He called for all his chips with QQ no draws. That doubled me and put me in great shapes where I continued to pick up little pots here and there. In the end I won my seat into the Sunday tourney a $215 value, sweet.
