Pretty decent Sunday. I woke up early and decided to play the entire slate online. I had a couple of shallow cashes, but the big score came in the form of a third place finish in the Sunday Warmup. The finish was worth $67,567 and is my second biggest score ever in an online MTT. I felt really in the groove all day and definitely ran above expectation, which always helps. Three handed I got myself in a pretty gross situation when I felt like the stacks and the current dynamic dictated a limp/raise all-in from the SB with two black tens. Unfortunately the guy checked. Flop 4h3h2s. I led 515000 and called a raise to 1.3M. Turn 3. I checkraised his 2.2M turn bet all-in for 10M and was snapped off by twos full.

Gonna read a little, wake up early, go to the gym, then play $1500 PLO. This score was nice to get me close to unstuck on the week after the $40k event. I've been lucky that everytime I've been on a financial skid in poker (except for one stint between late 2006 and mid 2007) I've been able to find a tournament score to restore my confidence.
