I had matches yesterday as well but there was little to report from them; two solid 2nd place finishes with no surprises or big mistakes.

Today I am clawing up out of the demotion pit with finishes in 1st and 3rd for about a 18-point gain. The first game I got a couple of great hands and hit them, and that was enough.

The second game was notable for its sheer length: 20 hands and almost 70 minutes of play. Full games usually only run from 30-40 minutes. This game the dealer went on a rampage and we were all pretty much along for the ride for the first six hands. I had a few dealer repeats myself, but no significant big-point hand. I ultimately slipped just under second place.

No big decision points this time or hands I would have done differently; it was all pretty straightforward.

This time, btw, was at the table with Jenn Barr, also an American pro in Japan and probably one of the first people to start up a major site about riichi online in English. It was an honor.
