The point(s) is to cash.....

Sunday : The Blogger Big Game Results : Me taking a brutal suck out by Julius Goat. Ac-Kc everybody folds....I raise all in with my short stack......he insta-calls with A-9o......Ace on the flop and I am looking good to cash in my first Big Game....9 on the effin turn and I am toast. Damn you Goat.......Damn you. (I checked his blog and he is funny bastard....but he should name himself Julius Donkey instead....HAHA).

Monday : M.A.T.H. : I didn't get many hands....two pocket pair before the final table. I hit two big hands in suck out style.....an open ended straight against Garthmeister and a gut-wrenching gut shot straight on the river against IT. I made the final table but an all-in fest with Schaubs Q-Q and Otis A-Ko did me in...I had As-10s and the short stack. There were two aces on the flop but I am toast again. Still haven't recovered from the Suck out by Julius Donkey....err Goat.

Tuesday : WWdN : Made final table though a whopping 20 entries...out 5th when I pushed (A-2o) the small stack into A-Ko....out 5th. 3 paid.

Wednesday : ?????? The Mooooooooooookie!!!!
Get your sorry asses there if you like brutal suck outs and hugely donkish play by idiots like me.

There is also a tourney on the WPBT.....does anybody remember that? It would be nice to get more than 17 or 19 that was in the last tourney. cmon.....lets get this to be a destination you Donkeys!!

Finally

A winner in the Wheatie! ISS Spock is my nemesis......at least in the WWdN : NLHE Tournament



As for the rest of the week........I need to get my butt in gear and do some damage in the following:
Below are the next two events for this week.

If I could play these tourneys as well as the 'Wheatie' I would be moving on up the BloggerPokerChallenge leader board. I guess I just need to get some beers and put on the lucky necklaces (my 2-year old daughter decided to put on me just before she fell asleep and at the beginning of the 'Wheatie' last night) again.

This is probably the best banner I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!

Strike 1, (Strike 1.5), Strike 2, 3Strikes I'm out?!

M.A.T.H. (didn't play due to lack of $26 token and the fact that I'm kind of cheap)-Strike 1!
The WWdN:NLHE (The Wheatie) Out 16Th place pushing short-stack and A-4o into chip leader (WTF did I expect?)-Strike 1.5!
The 'Mookie'-Knocked out when I flopped trip Q's....that's what I get for limping in with Q-7soooooooted and the other guy has K-Qo-Strike 2!
Riverchasers.................Strike 3 or Home Run?????

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.

2nd place in the Wheatie....details tomorrow

Last nights WWdN: weekly NLHE tourney (what happened to the name bounty?) was crazy. I saw the eventual 3rd place finisher get a royal flush...not sure about the specifics because I could only stare in awe of the royal. I've seen two in the last week in different tourneys. BTW I post these second and third place finishes because I haven't won an MTT in a long time. The last time I actually came in first was last year for a satellite tourney on Full Tilt. I doubled up halfway through the tournament with A-Jo....After my steal was called and a flop of Ax-Kx-Jx.....runner runner J's fell and I was on my way. Anyway, there was one key hand that got me a big chip stack. My As-Ac versus Soxlovers Kh-Ks I think. We got it all-in before the flop of course....and a Kx-Qx-9x fell on the flop. I was dead to either an ace of runner-runner straight cards. Ad on the turn and I was good to go. Besides the royal flush...that was the biggest hand in the tournament (Sorry Sox !) as he was in the top five for a good hour and a half. ISS Spock (usually a big stack or out early) stayed in first for most of the tournament. He had my number for the whole of the final table. Every time I tried to steal he paired the board or had a better hand. I stayed away from him until we got down to three. I doubled though him when I flopped top pair...he had second pair and pushed. I thought for a while and called. So I had the chip lead for a short time and of course....Spock with his Vulcan mind tricks took it back. The second to last hand heads up was a glimpse of some bad play by me. I flopped second pair with a 10d-Ad. Spock flopped top two pair Q's and 10's and called my small feeler/blocker bets. He raised on the river and me being stubborn called and lost. I only had about T13,500 at this point. The last hand I had Ac-8h and pushed. He called with pocket 3's and took it down. This tournament is such a mine-field. I just can't stop playing it.....
