Ever Pressed The Wrong Button?

Things for me have been quite uneventful on the poker front. On Friday I had a long trip, and when I got back I was looking forward to playing a bit of poker, so I regged for The Mansion Triple Chance World Cup tourney.

Its a gimmicky MTT, with extra prizes depending on finishing position, and bounties. I was ticking along, until this happened.

That put me 2nd in chips, after I was in serious danger of going out in 20 something. The good that came out of this was how sporting the other guy was about it. I think he was so amazed that I had absolutely nothing after the flop, yet hit runner runner to decimate him. I was delighted obviously when I had won, but felt terribly gulty I had inflicted the mother of bad beats.

Although not much for me has happened in MTT's, in STT's on Pokerstars I've had a fantastic amount of success. I deposited $25 then proceeded to lose almost all of it (I was down to my last buy-in!). From that last buy-in ($3+40) I've managed to get my balance on their up to $80.80, just by playing the $3 tables.

I may not step up until I have $500, which is a long way off, but think I need to make gradual step ups, rather than rushing and risking.
