Back from the brink

Two consecutive hands in a $5 MTT on Stars.

I admit, I have no idea what I was doing in the first hand, but I figured that even if it turned out that I was against KK, with such a huge overlay, it couldn't be too bad.

Ness,

Sort of. I worked the donations up enough that I have a short roll for .02/.05 and .05/.10 games with an occassional low buy-in tournament every now and then.

And no, it must have been an impostor.

Fold preflop twice.

I'm not even kidding, this hand could make half of MTT's barf.

Besides, $5 is (some number of NL buyins)!

I moved up to .05/.10, it's only a half buy-in now!
