Dear ishter,

Came in to FT @ 6/9 although was CL for a while when we were down to three. Sucks not to close it out but I can't complain obviously. Ran well played alright.
Used to play a lot of poker but stopped except random home games every now and then. I still followed the forums and read about strategy just didnt play that much. Decided to put $25 on ACR and since have had best MTT run of my life. I have final tabled a BIG 10 tournament($5, $10) for 11 of 12 days and in the last few days have finished 1,2 in the 10pm $10 and 3rd in a bigger $5. I keep waiting for variance to bitch slap me but trying to keep the streak alive today.

After taking a few years off following the Pokerstars/Full Tilt shutdown for US players, I jumped back into the game 2 months ago via Bet Online. After cashing consistently (20% range) in their freerolls, I finally took one down tonight and it feels good to be back!
