Well, it has been forever since I blogged on this site. Who knows if I will keep it going, but I wanted to share the event from today. I found this event quite exhilarating.
I have started to play online again at globalpoker.com. They have an interesting way of getting around US Gaming rules, but I am playing for real money again. I really wish the US would get their shit together.
I decided to play in a $3 +$.030 NL Holdem tournament with a guaranteed purse of $500. Everyone started with $2000 in chips.
The very first hand I flop a spade flush (10,9). I got all-in against pocket Kings. You guessed it. On the river, I get counterfeited with another spade and the opponent had the King of spades.
I had $100 left. Here is where the fun began. Chip and a chair is true if you take the right opportunities to double up and yes there is some luck involved a hand or two.
So it was a grind, but out of 90 players, I managed to work my way to the final table. I got pocket Q's when the board brought 7AK. The turn was a King. I got pushed all-in and let the hand go.
I managed to a 6th place finish, collecting $23.
I truly forgot how much fun tournament play can be.
Play on!
