44 ftw for sure??!!

Evening all!! Cant beleive its been nearly 2 weeks since i played poker or wrote any more drivel!! The run up to easter is always busy for us at work,luckily sales figures for the 1st 3 months are up on last year so that cant be bad! Shame about my wife (who manages a posh restaraunt) ....her hours have been slashed as has her money which is a bit of a kick in the balls.
And to think at the run up to xmas she was putting in 60/70 hours a week and working hard to make the place run properly,now for the last couple of months numbers have halved due to 'the crunch' so she finds herself getting the 'its business & not personal but.......' speech!
However,she is very hard working/ambitious & has approached a few places with an impressive CV with some positive results.......(cant say too much now but all will be revealed next post ;-) !)
Any how, on to tonight & i managed a massive 1 game on Laddies.....Yes..1 game!!!
A 2 table 20 manner with a $5 buy in.
Its been a little while since i played so i wanted a gentle start! I was 1 of only 2 UK players on my table,the rest were mental Skandies & clueless Eurofish!! (so i thought i might have a chance!)
And so it turned out,i reached the bubble as c/l & looked down at the mighty 44,

Quadfuckingtastic!!!
Dont you just love it when that happens!!! I knew i had 3rd tied up at least but couldnt risk a call & race with the action before me,obv as it happened i would have busted 2 of the donkeys but i thought a fold (in this situation) was the right play. What do you think??

I only made 3rd in the end as i shoved on a 7 high flop with 10 10 only to see matey had flopped a straight.........grrrrrrr!!! O well, c'est la vie!

Thanx for reading & glglglgl.
