Jumping in

As a rule, I post about my previous session before starting a new one. Prior to posting, I update my poker database with the previous session's data. To make sure I didn't screw anything up, I log in to PokerStars and check that what my database thinks is my overall balance and what PokerStars thinks is my overall balance are one and the same. Last night, when I performed this step, I noticed that there was a $200,000 buy in tournament on offer, with only about 12 minutes left in its 44 minute late registration period. That was a great time to join it, so I did. Jumping in turned out to be a good move; I made the money. I then wrote my post about the previous session, and decided to play some more. That turned out to be a good move, too :-)
