We started the day with 32 with a lot of short stacks. I managed to double up with QQ vs. A 5 and my hand held up. Had Kings and knew I was good against one caller on a J 4 J board (not exactly the flop you want to see with Kings, ha) but I knew he wouldn’t call my substantial pre flop raise with A J and he folded. Ran into a two outer on the river to take me out at 19th and even though I should be more shook up over it, I’m not. I played good, strong, solid poker and I’m proud of my game. I work hard at it and I’m my harshest critic so when I say I’m pleased with my play .. I’m pleased. I went very deep in back to back events and I like that a lot. Feels good.

Tomorrow working then probably play on Wednesday … Life is good. …
