$500 NLH WSOPC

Update from last night.

After posting the hate filled blog from the final table of the Omaha, I came back down to the casino, Heineken in hand, and bought into the second chance tourney. $200 buy in and about 100 players.

I'll save you the details, I took it down. Yeah that's right! Ship it! A small monetary victory but a massive emotional one. Cashing back to back tourneys does wonders for ones confidence.

After winning I did the smart thing and headed straight to the blackjack tables. And I won there too! On roll let's keep it going.

Table 1 Seat 3


And I'm an alternate. Open another table donks. I wait a half an hour to get my seat, during which I get a bloody Mary from the hard rock, play some vid poker, and get told that I can't sit in the tournament area. Yes. I love this place.

Table 29 seat 8

Table draw:

Seat 1: CSI guy. Rocking the CSI Las Vegas hat AND shirt.
Seat 2: retarded donkey (we'll get into that in a minute)
Seat 3: rwg
Seat 4: random foreigner with a WSOPC ring. How tacky is it to wear your trophy from a tournament that no one cares about to a tournament that no one cares about. He also says that he recognizes me and that I'm a good player. (I don't that compliment much). Then he decides to fire 3 bullets at me. More on that later.
Seat 5: rwg
Seat 6: rwg
Seat 7: empty
Seat 8: jdn
Seat 9: rwg

I'm not going to lie. I'm a little hung over. Got a head ache too. Perfect for playing poker.

Back to seat 2. He raises my big blind to 400 with blinds at 50/100. I call with ace deuce of spades. The flop falls 2 6 4. I check raise him to 2100 after a bet of 800. He then reraises to something, I couldn't tell because he used all small chips. I figure that's a tell from a bad player and I move in.

With only 1700 more to call, he does. I'm waiting for him to flip up an AK but he shows A7. Wow. The deuce holds and I double up. He can't stop talking about it the for the next 30 mins.

Now when I get involved with seat 4, he raises my big blind and I call with A7. The flop falls A something something. All clubs. I check call some random amount. The turn is another ace of something and I check call again. The river is a random low black card that's not a club. I check and he bets 2400. I think about it for a minute before calling and his hand goes straight into the muck. Super duper.

Then I get messy with seat 2 again. He shoves in from the small blind for 3500 on 6 way limped pot. Is he squeezing? I call with A9. Does he know what a squeeze is?

He shows QQ. Oops. But with an 8 on the river I hit my gutshot for a straight and all his chips.

The table breaks and I get moved to a table with a guy that is wearing overalls.

22K at break.

There's talk at the table about getting a single table sat started and the winner goes to the bunny ranch.

Someway, somehow I'm out of the tournament. Well I know how. It had something to do with J4. Then it didn't work out. Stupid me.

Oh well I head over the 4pm 6 handed no limit tourney.
