Just played my third PO freeroll since resolving to approach all my games as worthy of my best efforts. I made the final table with one lucky hand (My A 10 suited vs a cripple stack [about 7bbs] who had AK off, which if I had lost would have taken me to about 3k with 100/200 blinds - so not a big deal, but still I recognize I got lucky. Either way, without knowing the player I felt my call was right [or at least not terribe] as his range was fairly open.) Aside from that I played well; Patiently, but still making a few hero calls. I ended up losing my connection with about 7-8 players left while in a decent pot I suspect I was winning. Alas, I didn't make it back until I had gone out 3 or fourth. I would have preferred to play but I'll take it. I am now 2 for 3 in placing. And don't mind my loss as I know it was variance. Cheers to a level head! I'm excited to go to work tomorrow and put a little money in my AC fund! I also three a little spare cash in there today. Current total -$450 (yea, it's sill negative; priorities)
