FTP Gold Freeroll epilogue

All was well around 1st break...many people did not show up for the gold freeroll. Chipped up to about 8K in chips with only one other person playing at my table of 9 before 2 more showed up as a couple of no shows blinded out. Button to my BB that arrived already had 18.6K in chips...he raised preflop 4 of his first 5 hands at my table...I pick up K7dd in the BB and he raises again...I call...flop is Jd7c10d...I check...he c-bets...i call...turn is a blank...I check...he bets I call...river is 8d...I lead...he raises...i push...he calls...I show K high flush...button shows Q9dd for the straight flush...DAGGER!!!!!!!!!
Good times.

Started playing on a new site yesterday so decided to pop my cherry on blogging as well. Opened an account with Bodog to hopefully take advantage of the sweet overlays I've heard they have on their MTTs. Played a $15+1 and had chip lead pretty much all the way from 60 left of original 135 to 3 of us being left...from there I got sucked out by 2nd at the time when his A3cc caught a runner runner flush against my preflop all in with AKo. A few short hands later I ran JJ preflop allin against same player's KK for a disappointing 3rd...still pleased for my first outing on the new site. GLUAM!!! (good luck unless against me)
