Even bad players get lucky

 Have to post this just because it has been just about the best coupleof days i have ever had in poker.

 Background: Extremely low bankroll so never get to play in anything big.Usually between £20-£30.

 Started off sitting down on a cash table. 2p/4p.First hand get 98o playing Hu against a limping sb. flop  993 turn 9 river j. It all goes in on the river and he turns over aces.

 Later switch to PLO cash. In quite a biggish pot. When i hit one over several nut draws i had and then saw the weirdest bluff ever. Pot was about £3-70 and my opponent bet £3-20 into it and then folded when i raised it to £3-50. But nice chunk of profit.

 So today decided to treat myself to a tourny, bearing in mind this is my weakest form of the game. Somehow managed to survive to final table with a short stack. And then with some luck and judicious shoving managed to bink it. 

 So current bankroll is about 6 times what it normally is. Now i know i will donk a lot of it off and this run wont last but has been such fun having it. These little bursts make it all worthwhile

    Incredible.

    That Tourney had 94 runners, & you won over £90.

    Thoroughly deserved, many congrats.
