Choppin' da Mookie

2nd place...not too bad for someone who had T3oo in chips at one point before the second break. I have to say that Iggy's total of 60 was much more of a defecit. HTF did he do that! Anyway......second place isn't all that bad. 1st in the 'Wheatie' last night.....second in the 'Mookie' tonight......Riverchasers tomorrow night????? I transferred the 19.00 (actually 20...don't spend it all to fast PokahPeakah!). Man I had about a 6-pack more than I planned on having....I have to get up in a few hours for work.....

Tourneys, Tourneys, and more Tourneys

Yet again I am fascinated by this...what a Donkey I am......two tourneys at the same time on different sites this time.
There are many tourneys to be at this week and the coming weeks. The following for the B.B.T (Battle of the Blogger Tournaments) This week : The M.A.T.H.-Monday (had to miss it this week...no token),
The WWdN:NLHE weekly-Tuesday , The 'Mookie'-Wednesday , and the 'Riverchasers Online Tour'-Thursday..........so many....so little bankroll!

Update : Just busted out of the wheatie in 16th of 51 people. What really sucks is that the hand previous to the one I busted out on would have stacked me at T5000 in chips. I got squeezed by Specks'bacon and the chip leader....so I didn't call with my A-3d...stupid me. I busted when I pushed my A-4o into the chip leader........oops.

DailyDouble for DDionysus...AKA DoubleDave

The Daily Double tourneys are a good deal. Although I didn't cash (knocked out by Aces in one and Kings in the other). Even though my name is 'DDionysus' on Full Tilt I had a guy by the name of 'doubledave22' seated to the right of me for a good 2 hours. 'DoubleDave' is my PokerStars name....weird. Didn't do anything this week for blogger tourneys either. The 'WWdN: NLHE weekly' and the 'Mookie'.....the 'Mookie' is a hard one to cash in let alone win. I just might do this in the coming weeks. The 'Battle of the Blogger Tournaments' sound like a lot of fun with some cool potential prizes. I'm looking forward to one of those WSOP qualifiers that seems to come up every year also. I will be trying to qualify for some big Sunday tourney tonight...probably on PokerStars. Until then have a great weekend.....

Misc....

Reading Tao, Hoyazo (one wordy MF...lol), and Iggy is enough to kill at least half a day at work. BTW it's great to the Iggy back at GuinnessandPoker. His blog was the first that started me on my way to becoming a very unproductive office worker/IT guy.....in a good way though. I am going to be haunting the 'Mookie' tonight...and probably the Second Chance as well. See if I can avoid an Hoyazo suck out special...I remember this one from a WPBT event last year (not that it was a suck out per se..but one of the worst beats ever online). I have the next couple of days to Donk it up down at Foxwoods starting tomorrow night.....yeahaahahaaa! Did anybody see this....I know I've posted the link already but DAMN!

A Schedule only a Donkey could love

My Poker Schedule the next two weeks.

Sporadic Full Tilt blogger tourneys and STT's or MTT's for tourney tokens.
Sporadic PokerStars blogger tourneys and STT's.....maybe an MTT or two...I can't resist.
Charity/Benefit tourney at Kitty's (It's a restaurant in my old hometown ya dirty-minded bastards!)
Foxwoods on Thursday the 15th overnight to the 16th....woohoo....(wife's request for birthday!)
How am I going to say 'no' to that?

I played the WWdN : invitational last night and got knocked out 12th. I had Aces dealt to me 4 times in the tournament and I just couldn't amass any good sized pots with them. I tried mixing it up with slow play and big bets and big raises but.....the caliber of player was tougher than usual last night. Some of the invitational tourneys have great play like last night...some don't. I'll have to try the Mookie again tonight!

This is also something worth posting.....enjoy.....huh-huh...I said posting....

CC's Thursday Bash

As you can see I didn't win...but 2nd place ain't bad.
CC played like a monster and just for good measure got hit in the face with monster hand after monster hand. This is the first CC Bash that I've played and probably not the last. The play is very different than for instance...the WWdN. It is similar to the Mookie....which I played for the first time this week also. I think Hoy talked about the difference in play between the blogger tourneys.....and he's right. Not that I won't play the WWdN anymore...but....these other tourneys have better play overall. I'm not at the point where I could play MATH every Monday but I may get there soon. There are just too many options now....every night during the week. I hope it all doesn't come to a crashing halt this summer....

Anyway, I raked some great pots with my K's this time. CC
was absolutely crushing it......the only time I made a dent was with my Quad Kings....on the river. I had Kx-Kx heads up and decided to do a little slow play. A King on the flop had me excited but I decided to check. CC bet and I decided to go all-in on the turn.....then a K falls on the river and I doubled to T9,000 or so. CC was still stacked at T21,000. The next hand was a disaster for me and my K-Jo. I don't know what he had but the board was too much and I couldn't force him out with a bet on the turn. I was doomed as my stack was down to T4500. to his T29,000. I don't even recall the last hand and obviously he had a slightly better hand. So I say...NH CC. I'll be sure to check you blog more often. PokerPeaker was tough with the short stack and almost made a ridiculous comeback at the end. I had some fun with both in the chat box. GG's and see you at the Bash again soon.
