Update
Weekly update here. Played on the 3rd in the Poker Stars Saturday deep stack tourney. $10+1 buy in and $5,000 starting chips with 30 min rounds. Damn I loved this tourney. Had tons of fun playing and I must say I played a really A+ quality game. Only problem was 7 hours into it and we were ITM (In the Money) with 100+ left and I had to go. It was my Mom’s surprise party and no way could I miss it. So with a high M and an above average chip count I had to leave. Ended the tournament in 54th place, I wonder how far I could have gone if I had stayed?
Any ways, not much poker played since then. I had planned on playing in a couple charity tournaments in the Atlanta area but they all got closed down. Hopefully I will still be able to collect my $1000 buy in tournament from one of them…. If I have not mentioned it before I won a trip and buy in to a WSOP circuit event in Tunica from one of the big charity tournaments that was regularly run around town. $75 got me air fare, hotel, transportation, $100 food voucher and $1000 buy in.
Beyond that the only poker I have played was at a friend’s house. 9 player tournament, $60 buy in ($10 for dealer), if you bust re-buys allowed until first break. Total prize pool ended up being $600, with 1st being $300, 2nd was $180 and 3rd being $120. I made a few mistakes but over all played well and ended in 2nd place. The biggest mistake I made was not being able to let go of KK when the board read 10-7-7 and I was positive my opponent had a 7 (I had a pretty good read on him by that point). Because of that one slip I went out in 2nd place, as I never recovered the chip lead from that point. Still not bad for a couple hours work.
Beyond that I am looking forward to playing some more poker tonight…..will keep you updated.
May the Pagan Poker Gods be kind…
