Being very productive

So I decided to play a couple $5.50 tournaments on Pokerstars, or Riverstars as some like to call it, and I did fairly well. The first tournament I didn't really get any cards to gain chips so I found myself short stacked rather quickly, and was forced to basically push all-in with hands that I shouldn't be playing. (ie A rag) I was lucky enough twice to be far behind when an ace fell but somehow managed to get split pots twice. Then when I went all-in with A6o and was called by Q10o, when I was in a good position pre-flop although they had live cards, and of course Q10 came on the flop. I was happy though because I just didn't get any cards and was ready to be put out of my misery.

The second tournament resulted better.

I play a very tight game in the beginning, but I looked down and saw AA. Check out the Hand History, it was unbelievable because before I called (I'd be a fool not to that early in the tournament) I really didn't like having that many people all-in.

After that I took the next couple of pots to show-down and was on a good streak of cards. I then went on the win the tournament. So for the hour of so of boredom it resulted in gaining $11.50. So I have like $88 in my Pokerstars account just to basically mess around with when I'm bored.

Oh, and as for being productive (non-pokerwise that is), I had a job interview this morning at 10:00, which went well. I also did the dishes and cleaned out the ferret cage (I wasn't looking forward to that and kept putting it off).
