Back to Back Final Tables

I haven’t posted anything since my disastrous third place finish in this week’s Shootout in the Desert. My tourney luck has been awful since my WWdN win a couple of weeks ago. Well, it turned around, sort of. Last night in the WWdN West Coast Warmup #2, I made the final table and finished 6th out of … however big the field was. Today, in the HeyKidsItsBG Invitational, I took 3rd out of 28, after sitting out the first half hour while I was at lunch. I went out when I lost a race (surprise! I haven’t won one all in preflop in at least two weeks in a tournament) with 77 vs AQ. An ace on the river. The turning point for me though was when I had around $12k chips in second position, and ZowieZ had me covered by a few hundred. I made a standard raise to $1200 and ZowieZ instapushed for about ten times the pot. Sires, a shorter stack, called behind. After a bit of thought, I folded. They flipped 33 and AK. Dammit… and this race, I woulda won, making a full house with my J coming out on the turn. I woulda busted Sires, and knocked ZowieZ down to a few hundred in chips. Instead, AK won and all the stacks at the table were about even after the hand. Nice push, ZowieZ. Sires went on to win, instead of busting to my jacks.

The ring game at Stars hasn’t treated me well, either, losing most of what I won in the Donegal Invitational. I finally decided to do PSO’s Nevada Jacks Promotion at Paradise, and finally got treated well.
Played the 1000 raked hands in about a day of 5max $100NL, and made $450 plus the $100 bonus. Plus, the chipset is worth about $200. Pretty pleased with those results, finally. If you are still looking for the most legit and trusted, just check out UFABET เกมส์คาสิโนออนไลน์ to learn more about them.

It’s strange how I can make two final tables playing judi slot in two days and still be so damn disappointed with the actual finishes. I feel like I definitely should have won today, and should have done better yesterday. I guess I can’t expect much when I can’t win a single race. Thanks Wil for hosting again!

I think I’m gonna miss Saturdays with Dr. Pauly tomorrow, unfortuantely. There’s a chance I won’t be able to make Bill’s last Shootout qualifier, either. Good luck to everyone who plays in them! I’ll do my best to make it.

Yea it is always rough that when you get to a final table your whole mindset is #1st place or bust. Anything else seems almost like a loss…

I know how you feel buddy – its amazing how that bronze position feels like you lost! tough break.

to cheer you up a bit i thought i’d show you a new online gambling site – vegas007.com. Its the first time I have seen 3D graphics on a poker site, makes you feel like you’re play in a ps2 game or something. awesome!
