The skin of my teeth

Last night, I made the money by the skin of my teeth. I survived two hands I had no right to survive. Sometimes, you need a little help like that :-) Here's what went down:

hand 57: I fell in, since I started the hand in the big blind, and didn't have enough chips to cover it. I was dealt 9d 6d, and the flop came 4d 7h Kd, giving me a flush draw. I received immediate service, as the turn card was the ten of diamonds. My flush held up to win the main pot.

hand 64: I was severely short stacked, and was dealt 9s Ah. I called the big blind all in preflop. I was an 18.18% dog on the turn, but spiked a seven on the river to hit a straight and win the main pot.

In other news, my blue distance is down to $38,000. Time to get back into the blue :-)
