Lightning strikes twice

When you make the final table of an MTT, it feels like capturing lightning in a bottle. When you do that two tournaments in a row, it feels like lightning striking twice :-)

This is an excerpt from my May 1, 2020 post, and applies equally well to last night's session. I've accomplished this feat ten times in my MTT NLHE career.

I made it under the lights again last night, and just missed being Lord High Everything Else again. I also just missed getting a Full Monty again. On the strength of my second straight deep run, my overall balance returned to the blue. All is right once more in my poker world :-)

This is an excerpt from my May 1, 2020 post, and applies equally well to last night's session. Even though the prize pool was less than the one from the session before, I made a slightly bigger profit via the expedient of finishing one place better :-)

Lightning strikes twice

When you make the final table of an MTT, it feels like capturing lightning in a bottle. When you do that two tournaments in a row, it feels like lightning striking twice :-) That's what I achieved last night. The most memorable hand of the session was the one where I was dealt pocket sixes and flopped quads. I checked the flop and the turn, and couldn't get a caller when I bet the minimum on the river. I'll go out on a limb and predict I'll make it back to career blue tonight.

Last night's session was virtually a carbon copy of the one before. Once again, I played a single tournament. Once again, it was an MTT NLHE. Once again, it was a $100,000 BI+EF. Once again, it was short (16 hands) but not sweet. And finally, once again, it was a twin killing exit. Lightning strikes twice :-)
