A different zip code

Sometimes in poker, you get a premium hand precisely when you need it most. That's what happened to me in the second tournament I entered yesterday. I was short stacked, and hadn't won a single pot. I was dealt a big slick, shoved, got two callers, and tripled up. That moved my stack into a different zip code, and it was easy enough to make the money from there :-)
