2 Near Misses and a Winner !!

Played in 3 MTTs and 1 Qualifier last night :- 11.00pm $5K GTD, 11.00pm $2.5K Sat, 00.30am $1K GTD and 1.14am £5 HH all on crypto.
Out of the Sat when gambling early doors to try and get a nice early position. Played a few hands in the 5K and got shortstacked, pushed for final 600 when miles behind and that was that :(
Had a great start in the 1K GTD and doubled up early when hitting a set on the flop, a flush came soon after and was up to 6k. Didn't play many hands for a while so i decided to give the HH a go.
Playing both side by side and watching the cricket Eng v NZ one dayer.
HH i started slowly hardly playing a hand, when a shorty pushed for 450, i had 78s so called, another caller and flop came down 6k9, open ended i check other guy checks. Turn a 5 (happy days) i push for remaining 800 and he calls (has the K), river blank so i nearly triple up and claim my first Head :)
After comfortably staying in the top ten in the 1K we reach the money (top 20) and players start to gamble. FT soon made i have average stack. HH was hotting up (top 10 in the money) and i had a decent stack so i could take a few gambles. FT made and up to 3 heads. Two FTs on the go at once a rarity for me (i know how gats feels now ;) )
Made a few moves in the 1K early on the FT (got some nice cards) and we were soon down to the last 5. HH was mad as usually loads of All Ins being called all over the place.
Last 4 of HH and i KO the guy with the most money (11 heads) :)
Now 3 handed at both tables, needed just a bit of luck to take one down.
1K me SB with A2s push against chip leader who insta calls with KK :( no help and thats me gone in 3rd for $133.
HH takes a while longer and i take out small stack when flopping 2 pair.
HU doesn't take long he has 20k more than me, i raise preflop with an A he calls, K high flop i push he calls with K3, 3 on the turn, A on the river too late his 2 pair wins, 6 Heads and 2nd place for £74. Not a bad nights work ;) off to bed at 4am.

Up early for Hall Green Bags card feeling knackered.
Three runners today all got chances but nothing concrete.
Our first runner Lucy (2/6) misses the trouble and finds herself in front at halfway before powering home to WIN A5@7/2 in a respectable time on bad going :)
Belle (0/8) runs well in A7 finishing a close up 3rd, her turn can't be too far away.
Teddy (1/7) from Trap 6 in A2 (should be a middle runner imo) gets into trouble at the first bend before running on to finish 4th beaten by 2 lengths.

Feb 6/26
Year 8/58

No poker till Thursday and 4 runners Fri, 2 on Bags Lulu + Marvin, Fivo + Russ on night.

Thx and GL
