Got out of the gates quickly again today. I played very well and caught a couple of big hands. I decided that I was going to play in the daily double tournament tonight. It is 2 tournaments that run at the same time and you get a bonus if you finish in the money in both and another bonus if you finish the highest in both. I figured if I lost in both I would still be up over $60 for the day so I took a shot. After the first hour things were not looking good. I was down to $800 in chips in both tournaments. I knew that I would have to take a few chances to get my hands on some chips. I got knocked out in one and in the other I caught a couple of hands and was able to build up my stack. I was able to get as high as 63rd place with 200 people to go. The top 180 out of 1,228 finished in the money. I was moving along great until my KK ran into Aces. My stack to a big hit but I was able to finish in the money and ended up in 153rd place. Not a bad result considering after the first hour I thought I had no shot. So I ended up winning $86.90 in cash games and lost $6.81 in the two tournaments. My end result was $80.11. Not a bad day at all. That brings my total for the week to +$50.11 and my grand total up over 900 at $926.22. I am almost half way to one of my goals which was to build my bankroll to $2,000. So I am feeling pretty good about the way I have been playing. I have learned a lot and I am trying to continue learning each day.
