I Like to Party
I cashed out PartyPoker a while ago after running 100$ to 3000$. Then I looked today and found 20$ (I guess a bonus cleared or something). So, I decided to play a little. I won 3 10$ HU SnGs and then sat at .25/.50 had a good run and moved up to .50/1.00. My account is now sitting at just over 400$. I don't know why I can't seem to have runs like this on any other site. It's sick the way I get paid off on Party. Here are some highlights:

I thought I was semi-bluffing the turn. Sometimes I forget just how bad these players really are.

On this one, I suck out pretty hard on the river. I put him on an overpair pre-flop. Then when he checked the flop I thought either he flopped his set with KK or he has an underpair and is giving up on the hand. Since I had a nice draw, I just took the free card. When the Ace hit and he bet weak I thought I could take it away from him. Then when he called and I hit my miracle river, I figured I may as well try to extract maximum.

I cashed out because I did not want to be tempted to play while I work as I am very busy lately. As you can see, it worked like a charm. ;)

I guess it worked like a charm but if your run continued at higher limits you would have made a lot more money by now. But if you have work I completely understand
