$1000 STT Challenge

Didn't have time for much poker last night but managed to squeeze in 2 $10 STT's towards my $1000 STT Challenge (see below). Managed to cash in both of them but couldn't get the win. First one I got to Heads Up shortstacked and my AJ eventually fell to pocket 5's. Then the second one, after hitting top pair with Q7s I was beaten by KJo which made a straight....... on the river! It's always the river! Still a 2nd and a 3rd is not too bad at all.

A brief summary of the challenge: (full details here)

Back in May I set myself a target of winning $1000 solely through STT's. I started off with the $5 STT's at Interwetten Poker, and after 70 of them I had profits of $100. I then decided to step up to $10 STT's and switched over to PokerRoom to take advantage of their 40% deposit bonus. At the last update I had played 20 for profits of $60.

I haven't played as many as I'd have like to by now, and I need to get going in order to clear the bonus in time. I only have 17 days left to play another 30!

I might be able to get one in tonight, but that depends on how well I do (or don't do!) in the PokerRoom Poker Player Team Challenge. Have also got the first leg of the monthly Punters Lounge Challenge tonight so (hopefully) it might be a busy night.
