The King Of Queens

November 3, 2008

I managed to squeeze in a couple of tourneys Sunday AM and I was flat. Placed 3rd in one and got donked by a runner runner straight after slowplaying a set. Out of my control + made the right decision = I don’t care.

I just played two tourneys. The first one I had QQ back to back. Busted one dude then lost to AJ on the next one. Managed to dance around and knocked out the other chip leader with my straight. It was an “intuition call” out of position but it worked with 98o. From there the little guys got blinded out and I scooped pot after pot as no one wanted to tangle with the guy who would call with anything. Funny thing is I kept pushing on the very first hand of the tourney with nothing. I lost a large pot, so everyone thought I was a donkey after that. Person on my left started calling everything I bet. Due to that first hand I scooped a straight and flush all in against two different players as they thought I was pushing with nothing.  I had to show them the nuts yo!

I was running another tourney at the same time. I’m not using any software. I think I can do it, although there are tight stretches where I am forced to dance between the two tables. The other table I blew to a big lead early, but I can’t remember why? I had QQ at the end but someone folded to my raise. I had 2d3d and saw the flop with only 4 players left against the other chip leader (We both have @ $4K) . Flop 2h 4s 8s They bet 1000 I call. Next card 3h. I bet 1500 they reraise I go all in they call. The flip over… AA. Man, that sucked for them. next card blank, and I do the Jav dance and weave as I have @10K against @2K, @1K, and 500.

So two tournaments, two first place finishes. The best thing about these are that I can squeeze them in and be focused. The bad thing is that they will be harder to do when the kid comes as sometimes they drag on later than an hour. My bankroll is now $27. I think they are a better bet than the 18/27/45 man tourneys, as the prizes for first are not as good vs the time payout.

Anywho, off to chill with the wife, so I am out!
