I took down another $2.20/90 tournament. Remarkably, this is the second time in 3 events I've won. Talk about running well!
This win took a lot of luck though. I had to get lucky several times to chip up early and stay alive late and I was short stacked through the entire last two tables. Including heads up, but the HU villain was clueless and I was catching some cards so I was fortunately able to take it down.
And with that my bankroll is now enough to be playing in the $4.40/180 tournament. I'm looking forward to taking a shot at that level. Hopefully the competition will be beatable and I can run well and be able to stick there.

tournament win Stars $2.20/90
My recent hot streak continues. I managed to take down another 90 man tournament recently. This time it was the Stars $2.20/90 event.
The 90 man MTTs have a great structure. It seems to work well for me. That said I was pretty lucky and running well especially on a couple of key hands to take this event down. But the competition is weak in this event and I felt I played pretty well. I managed to get a rush late going from 30th with 30 people left to 4th entering the final table to 1st by the time 8 were left. From there I hung around close to the top and eventually took it down.
So now I've now won a $2.20/90 MTT to go with my earlier $0.25/90 event. The win was worth a cool $50 for my bankroll. This is my biggest tournament score ever. It took a tick over 4 hours to get there. And it brings my bankroll back to a new all time high. So that's all good. Nothing like running well at this game.
The next logical step is to take a shot at the next level, the infamous $4.40/180. However I'm still just a bit light on bankroll to start playing there. So it looks like I'll work the $2.20 a bit more to try to grind up some more bankroll.
