EDIT : Monday
Wow...was I pissed-off last night. Little did I realize at the time my aces went down in flames to a K on the turn.....I was lucky to be there anyway. You see in the first 15 minutes or so I sucked out and filled a boat to LJ's flopped straight (you must've been shocked with two all-ins on either side of you with a flopped nut straight...sorry about that). I tripled up in minutes....should have propelled me to the final table but.....
I'm not surprised that Maneki went on to win....he/she sucked out on Lucko, myself and whoever else after I threw my laptop through the dining room window (not really of course but that was the end of a long day of bad beats for me). Sorry about the cock/cocksucker comment there Maneki.....I'm sure you are a great poker player. Julius_Goat must be pissed but I'm sure all that money that he won throughout the BBT3 will soothe the nerves. He is just an absolute 'Big Game' killer! Sort of like I am in M.A.T.H. :)
I'm glad the BBT3 is finally done though. I wanted to crack the top 20 in the BBT3 but I couldn't play enough tournaments. I missed the first 3 weeks due to my real estate woes (that are now done thank god). I also missed another full week because of problems with my rake back account. That's a full month of blonkaments missed....surely I would have at least made the top 15 if I was to play 50+ blonkaments. Back to the 'PokahDave' account...you see....I knew I had to sort of get it ironed out before the BBT3 freeroll and the TOC. If I was to win (which is very unlikely....I'm sure someone will put odds on me that are accurate....something along the lines of 20-1) FTP would not pay me/award me due to my rake back account. The same exact thing happened to $mokkee. After 20 emails and a week I finally have it straightened out...I'm back to being 'DDionysus'....except the BBT3 free roll entry. Al was kind enough to forward an email account for the BBT3 free roll....which I sent an email to. I still have not heard from them but a 5-day waiting period is standard now for those who don't know. I want to thank all of the following Hoyazo (especially for changing M.A.T.H to short-handed NLHE....just kidding), Riggs, MiamiDon, Mookie, Chad (creating the frustrating skills series which I haven't cashed in yet) and especially AlCantHang for the sick prize pools and WSOP poker seats etc. I am glad the BBT3 is over but I'll be looking forward to the next one...whenever that is. This has been the mother of all prize pools. As far as my own results I think I've come out way ahead this time around. In the BBT1 I came out slightly ahead. The BBT2 I came out slightly ahead...by a few bucks. This time....I think I came out 300 or so ahead. Tuscaloosa Johnny made quite the name for himself in this one. I think Iggy told him about it...Thanks a lot Iggy! OK kidding aside....some of the newcomers to the BBT3 have really made an impression....mostly for the better. Good luck to all in the BBT3 free roll and the TOC (unless I am making a run at it in the TOC...then bad luck to anybody playing me!) Not only did this finish at the right time but I need a break....my wife is past due to give birth to out second child! I'll surely be a father again this week.
I also want to send out a hearty thanks to $mokkee for the Bodonkey series. Even though I haven't done anything of note in that series....it's a great prize pool for all. Tomorrow will be my last chance to win. It's all or nothing for me tomorrow in the Bodonkey!

that was def one of the crazier hands i've ever played. assumed/hoped you both had diamond draws (tacit had A2dd, raised from utg, obv).
maneki's sick suckout on lucko to hit the flush just goes to show how one card can completely change a tournament. granted, maneki wouldn't have been out if he lost that pot, but who knows what would have heppened. i wonder if he could be the same player who plays in the bodog tournaments from japan. that guys plays insane.
Great Post. Getting a Big stack early in these things is Tough specially when you go card dead.
I thought my Table was Awful too but then I looked and Pretty Much every table was Tough with no real easy tables.
I hope you wife has the Baby Soon.
Goodluck this weekend unless we are in a hand.
Go Celtics!!!!!
the Donkey Show.
I saw you jump out to that large early lead in the Big Game, and was real curious about the hand that caused it. (And was assuming I'd see some details on a blog somewhere given the significance of the pot.) Flopped straight, vs. set, vs. flush draw... nice to come out on top of that one. Sorry it didn't result in a big finish. (But am glad to hear the laptop didn't make it through a window.)
Hey, an early good luck and congratulations with the upcoming new member of the family!
