FPP Tourneys

Just some rambling for tonight but before I get to that I want to give a nice reaming to CC for providing some crappy swag from the WSOP. He was nice enough to send me some junk. However the Pen he sent ran out of ink already, the bag is immitation leather, and the playing cards have GHEY pictures on them! What a jackass!

I decided to try a few after winning 10K in Play Money Stud. I figure it gives me a chance to practice playing aggressively in stud without losing any money. It actually mimics the 1/2 game pretty well. Anyway I won an entry to the Satelite for the 500K. I now can try and win an entry to the 500K on the 16th. It would be interesting if I was able to pull that off.

I won this game with a couple of suckouts and one incredible read combined with a nice flop. I had T7d second to act HU so I raise it up and I get immediatly re-raised. I had shown that I would fold to re-raises so I called. I like T7 s00ted alot as a hand. The flop comes 7KQ and I get ready to check-fold. He checks to me. I instantly process this information and my sub-conscience comes up with: Ace-x, missed the flop. The turn is a King.. So I know I am ahead and end up pushing. He calls and turns over A2 for the loss. I am ahead 10K to 3K and finish him off when he slow plays AQ vs my 25d and the flop comes 25Q. Ouch. The thing I liked about the T7d play was that I put him on a hand and stuck with it.

Fluxer sent me a cool clip from the Internation poker tourney! Funny to watch someone ELSE on tilt.

Speaking of tilt I had a little fun playing around with some people at the diaper tables. I was playing my stud game and this conversation came up:

Vicksmom: our church's homeless shelter collapsed last night
Beckster7: oh, that's terrible
Caint Speel: oh oh
blindmelon12: omg
Vicksmom: it was only 2 years old
Vicksmom: we are cooking for the people
Beckster7: bet that contractor is gonna be in trouble
SirFWALGMan: hope it took some of those homelesss scum with it
blindmelon12: wow
SirFWALGMan: they would probably be happier dead
blindmelon12: just ignorant ppl
Caint Speel: or y with another name
Linda Pi: think so
Beckster7: I have worked with the homeless for 15 years; many of them get their lives back togethr
(Vicksmom then says nh to everyone except me, I wonder why?)
SirFWALGMan: man you lick homeless cracks but wont say nice hand to me.. crazy..

Anyway it was kinda fun picking on people. I sometimes like to say things to see what kind of reaction I can get. Surprising, huh?

My Fantasy football team is alive by some miracle. I could have been way ahead of Drewspop and had him defeated already except Mark Bulger shit the bed and scored me like 4 points. Ouch. I also sat two guys who's points alone would have given me a sure victory by now. The two combined for 25 points. I would be smoking Drewspop by now instead of holding on to a 4 point lead going into Monday Night. I am facing A. Gates in the Monday night game and I hold little hope that Oakland will be able to pull my bacon out of the fire. I think I am in deep shit unless the guy comes down with phnemonia or something. I did score MUCH better than expected though so I am happy about that. I was playing the team considered the best in our league and I will probably either win by 1-2 points or lose by 1-2 points. Either way it is a long season and I hope to improve. At least the Patriots pulled out a nice win. I knew Bill would adjust in the second half and we just destroyed them in that half. Luckily taking a 2-point win, but a W is a W no matter what. I love FOOTBALL! BEST SPORT TO WATCH EVER!
