the lone chip

I let my self get brought in to call to leave me with one chip and a chair early in the MATH against the host himself hoyazo. flopped a pair kings and at the turn had me a medium straight draw when a brick got dunked on the river but Hoy bet 1084 to my 1085 stack and said to myself, what the heck lets see how this turns out. BAM beat by a straight to the Ten LOL. One little ol' chip left. Could I do the ultimate Chip and A Chair. Well with my lone chip got me pocket rockets and, hold on to your horses I quadrupled up to 4 whole chips. LOL. Next hand K3 lost out to Iakaris and my one hand rally comeback was done LOL.

Oh well, i get to go to bed early and glad I don't take this to seriously and don't Helmuth it out.

Until the next tourney , the Mook, and maybe finally cash it.

not a bad night

Finished up 2nd last night in the MATH and felt great since I haven't cashed in while in the blogger tourneys. The win going to a well deserved player, Wes. Both of us going for the same flush but both ended up with a pair of ducks but lost to the better kicker of a King:

back in town , oh well lol

yeap, got back yesterday, Sunday from a great trip to Panama City Beach. Got to get up close with dolphins in the open ocean and can't wait for the pictures to get developed. Lisa got in the water with them and got some great shots. These are not your penned up, or research site dolphins or trained dolphins. These are your open water untrained dolphins and was just to kewl to experience.

The whole four days we did nothing but soak up some good fun, good sun, good food and great drink. No connections to anything. So stress free and relaxing.

Hope to have pictures soon to share.

Now after a 4 day poker break on to the MATH and hoperfully some cash :)

been another long while

WOW been real real busy all month since the last post so I thought I would put a quickie in here.

We had the great BBT freeroll twice actually lol. FT site crashed after I was knocked out but FT was kind to reset the tourney and set it all back to the beginning. there was some talk about the fact that those who were knocked out now have a second chance some made their point against but as kind as this group is and some very valid points talked on the majority were okay with it. I even offer to AL a deal if I should make the money or win it but he appreciated it but felt it was not necessary since so many had no problem with the complete redo.

Still sticking with most of the regular tourneys with the other bloggers even with out pts lol. They are just a good bunch to play with and I am sure they don't mind me contributing to their winnings LOL.

Well making this brief since I am in the middle of The Mookie and maybe just maybe might cash in it for the first time lol. Also, if I get whacked in the tourney gonna have to hit the hay since me and Lisa will be heading on down to Panama City Beach for a 4 day weekend of Sand, Surf, Jet sking, some drink and just a good time.

No work laptop, no personal laptop, complete net disconnection for 4 days, ugggh the emails that will pile up lol but what the heck. Worth it, very much worth it.

Blog at ya later when I am relaxed and sunbaked next week :)


-----------------------------------------------------

Oh well donked out early in the Mook, 37th, thought I was up against a bluff ended up being a semi-bluff with my King high to WPBT Ace high and he got flopped an ace, but got a king but didn't get anymore help and just like that out and gone. Probably good thing, feel half asleep and gotta get some good sleep for the road trip. No Riverchasers for me tomorrow since we will be secluded like I said above :) . saves me money lol.
