UB>FullTilt

Just kidding....but I do prefer tournaments on UB compared to FT. I'm also running much better which is always more fun. I finished 4th last night in the $12 Bounty tournament for $332 and 5 bounties for another $5. I had the chip lead with 9 players left, but couldn't find a spot to get my money in first or where I felt had proper equity to call or I was ahead. I had two good, aggressive players on my left that reraised me very liberally, usually all-in. I was top 3 in chips most of the way through the final table, but made a few plays late didn't work and I go out in 4th position. 1st place money was $1100+ and I was playing to win.

Looks like I will be sticking to UB and their tournaments for a while as my bankroll has blossomed to over $2000 in the last week. I've won about $135 in cash games and another $800+ in tournaments in the last week.

This hand got me going a little...opponent was the chip leader and was playing 70% of the hands at this stage. I didn't give him much credit...I'm not sure if my river bet was correct or if I should have value bet...let me know what you think!
