BET365 Freeroll

For the past two weeks all I've been doing is hovering. There hasn't been any major dips or major gains. I'm mostly been playing 1/2 limit.

However today I entered into the 30k freeroll on BET365 since I qualified by playing at least 250 raked hands in December. I figured what do I have to lose - plus the payouts where very good starting at $60 for 80th and $6000 for 1st. There were 3700+ entrants which put my chances for success at about slim to none. I started out very slow just surviving the first hour. In the second hour I built my stack up to about 7500 hundred and stayed there for what seemed like days. I was catching no cards but managed to steal the blinds at least once per round. I made a dip to 4000 and then in two hands I doubled up twice. Throughout the rest I battled as best as I could and guess what - I cashed. Not only did I cash but I took 19th place for a cool $300!!! Of course all I could think about was how close I came to 6k but when I stopped and really thought about it I realized I outlasted over 3600 people plus added a nice chunk to the bankroll.

Later that night I made about $35 in shorthanded .25/.50 NL and then gave back $5 in a little sng.

I probably won't see another day like this in a while so I'll take it.
