Boost From Pokerstars Cash

While I try to get my Maui Challenge back on track following a recent downswing I can take heart from a decent cash on Pokerstars. Whilst 80% of my poker is centered on the Maui Sit N Gos I do play some games on Full Tilt and Pokerstars. Full Tilt has gone well this year but I have had a nightmare on Stars until this game. My previously absent luck has been stored up my the kind folks at Pokerstars to help me come second in this multi-table sit n go from having almost no chips. This is a decent cash for me and puts me nicely ahead overall in March to date. Hopefully it will boost my overall poker confidence for the Maui games.

Despite numerous elements of good luck throughout, including at the final table where the pay jumps got bigger and bigger I still ended the game annoyed at not winning having had a dominant chip lead heads up at one stage.
 
On reflection I am very happy with second having subsequently noted the number of winning players at the final table. Well done me and congrats to kolll77.
