DAMN IT!

A couple of hands that started my dry streak. I was in a much higher buy-in tournament than I normally play in because I had built up my stack some. I had said I would play the $2.00 + $.20 when I was over $20 until I was down to $10 & then go back to the $.25, giving me 40 shots to rebuild.

Well my second $2.20 tournament, I struggled & struggled & was pretty low most of the way until the final table. I finally started getting some cards was making the best of it. An example is the 44 below. And these 2 hands were a few hands apart. Finally catching the leader and dominating him, he ends up flushing out on me! :(
