If you think it's a bad idea, it likely is...aka QJo=Donkey...aka why play poker for 3 hours just to prove to everyone you are stupid?

Very quick one. Well, quick for me.

Can't blame anyone or anything but myself and my terrible decisons in crunch time for the Mookie bubble. Maybe the dumbest two hands I've played in quite a while. Sorry, I meant CLEARLY the two dumbest hands I've played in quite a while. Surpassed only by the cash game exit 40 minutes later which had me frustration-pushing AKs into Slb's bullets fairly declared preflop, when the flop gave me no help. Thank God that was 25NL, not 100 or worse. That table sensed me steaming and raised/re-raised me every hand I played until I delivered a tilt special. Nice work, boys.

Buying myself a bubble for the low, low price of all my 8k chips: Mid-size stack with 10 to go, only 5 at our table, been playing for 3 hours, and I raise it UTG for no discernable reason with QJo. Just did not have to play that hand, and situationally I can't justify it. Terrible position to steal, worse position to play. D U M B. Mrs. M as a shortstack senses I am FOS and with K8 calls, leaving my previously workable stack decimated. Even better is my A9o exit that was escorted to the door by JJ. No I mean actual Jacks, not our boy. But still. EDIT: just checked in at Mookie's - it was kings. But I'm not gonna change things and unlink JJ; he's just to freak nasty to mess with.

No excuses, other than that I was pretty tired all day - which ain't much of an excuse any way you look at it, and hadn't been planning on playing. So why did I? I missed hanging out with you bastards. Don't regret it a bit. Got over my bad run with cowboys too, having them hold up twice in one game. So that's something.

My mood was much improved this AM because my girl updated. Please stop and help her with her current dilemna. Please be nice, she's having a tough day.

Can't make the Not, so it looks like its MATH where I try to redeem myself. I'll try to get the second half of Vegas up today.

Latah.

Great playing with you. Winning helps too.

Damn, when I left you had a monster stack after KO'ing Jordan. Still a really nice run and it was cool to play with you for a while.

Thanks for playing last night man...hated being the one to knock you out, really.

I am gonna use the idea CC had and ask for questions from the final ten, which includes you. So even though they won't be for me, do you have a question that I can use on the profile for dnasty ?

Alas, those dreaded chip eaters QJo.

Three hours of fine play, two quick hiccups and away we go. MTTs are cruel.

Learn the lesson brother.
