Earlier tonight I asked if someone would trade me a bit of $$$ for some cash on Cake so I could try out a tourny or two as I haven't played there in quite some time, 6 months or more I would guess. Anyhow, River D Rat was nice enough to slip me a couple bucks in trade and as I was browsing the site I saw a $33 tourny with $10,000 guaranteed was starting soon and since I didn't trade RDR enough to join it I broke down and deposited $100.
Played in the $33 and on the 2nd hand I flopped top set, check raised all in and was called by a gutshot draw which hit sending me to the rail. I wasn't too disappointed as I figured "If thats how they play around here it'll work out for me eventually"
Sat in 4 of the .10/.20 rings for a little while and made back my $33 plus a nice little bit extra and I joined the $20 bounty tourny and I was stunned by how fast it moves... I think there was almost 170 people in and at 1st break we were down to 45 or so with 20 paying. Sat in the top 10 most of the tourny and lost most of my stack when an opponent pushed all in with AJ against my KK and nailed the flop (at least I didn't have to wait til the river to see it
) and hit the rail a couple hands later when I flopped open ended in the BB and check/called all in with the opportunity to quadruple up if I hit. Didn't end up making the pay scale but I did take out 5 players to bump my profit another $28.
At this point I was a tad ticked that I missed my draw so I started checking out the sngs... saw I was up $77 and noticed they hold $72+$5 6 handed tournys and it was sitting on 4/6 so my greedy poker mind decided to take it as a sign. Take a shot at making up for the earlier suckouts and if I missed I'd still be dead even (ummm, no... tilt? whats that mean?)

Managed to get sucked out on twice out of 3 tournaments played and somehow still managed to take my initial $122 bankroll up to $422 (woot
)
Requested a cashout for $200 to get double my deposit back and will try to build up the rest another day. Going to bed before The Call of the $77 SNG can tempt me back into playing... besides, the sharkscope just looks too damn cool to screw up tonight
Welcome back to Cake
