Happy Martin Luther King Day

A large company like Cisco that produces products that sell to consumers as well (linksys routers) closes for the Holiday.

A Canadian Company with one US citizen employee does not. My cube is a little messy so I will go clean it up since they are planning to hire and may give away my cube while I work at Cisco.


1st BLT on Tilt saw a 98th of 30k+
2nd BLT saw a finish of 8000 (7500 paid) when I jammed 99 into only player at table who could bust me
3rd BLT I had 4 BB when money bubble broke. I had gotten a little discouraged when I ran KK into AA for the 3rd time of the day (and held KK 4 times total) . I day 5/5 to rumning QQ into higher KK or AA.

Managed to roach and climb to 50 BBs when I not only went card dead but a player to my right who raised every flop and was capable of this play:
