Into the void, then up the ladder we went...
For anyone new here today who'd like to read a grown man bitch like a spoiled child about the fact that poker isn't chess, please see the previous post. For anyone who'd like to read about an incurable egomaniac who's feeling pretty fucking smug right about now, please read on.
Pretty good 24 hours of MTTing. Popped another cherry this morning. First non-blogger online MTT. $26 well spent. The Lone Gunman helped me stay patient as the short stack while dutifully ignoring whatever it is he does during the day. Arrange the deportation of foreign nationals? Select new models for Bebe sports wear? Explore the occult with an exquisitely preteen fascination? Unsolved mysteries indeed...
My worst mistake of the tourney? I reraised a flop I missed with AKs when I thought the guy was c-betting me. He sprung his trap and put me all-in. Had me covered by a mile too. Talk about picking a fight I didn't need. Otherwise, played reasonably well. Totally card dead at the final table but waited out two people who ran pocket pairs into pocket aces on nearly consecutive hands. After an early AKs push that no one called, I never saw anything higher than an unsuited, unconnected queen. Until in the BB with just 4k left I found Jacks. And promptly fired them into the SB's kings.
All good. Me feel bettah. Me Heart Pokah.
Also: Was I the only tool yesterday who didn't realize that HermWarfare was Derek? Cool playin' with ya, brotha. Sorry I didn't find ya in Vegas, but next time.
Next Up: "Melinda - Where you at Shorty? "An epic poem in 7 parts.
Ciao.

Nice job bro. Congrats on the score. See you at the Mook tonight.
well done man!
There's always a handful of people at the blogger events that I have no clue who they are beacuse of their unobvious screen name.
So don't feel bad, name donkey.
Congrats on the finish.
Roll on, homes.
Nice job, Iak.
Keep the rush flowing at the Mookie!
How long til you get here??? 2 weeks? I think we should go se La Reve at the Wynn (I hear it's an awesome show).
I'm more excited about the Melinda post!

Nice score. But that isn't Derek, that's really Herm. The guy who stuck a knife in the back of the Jets....booooo Herm!

melinda, melinda, time to come clean. I'm not reading a single word of your blog until its about Melinda.
Nice job on the second all in call, I was bound to run into a hand at somepoint defending me blinds. You and facty at the same table is bad mojo for me.
final tabling an MTT is always good. i wish i had a $1 everytime i jammed into some donk in the blinds sitting on a monster.
Sweet score!
Way to fucking do it!
Chris: lol Worst Mookie Finish Evah! I suck...I just forget it once in a while.
JJ, slb, Jason, Hacker, Wolf, Peak and Hoff: thanks brothas! let's see if I can build on this or whether last night's early exit is the norm.
Carmen darlin - August 8th. Le Reve sounds awesome. We'll figure out the details in the next couple of days.
Rav: you are definitely on...i will have to check into what the hell AIM is since I am a total retard and only just recently figured out how to voice chat (thanks to SoxLover!)
Rooster & Derek: you're talking to a fan of the only NEW YORK based NFL team - GO BILLS, baby! [yes, 4 superbowl traumas and counting]
l'artiste & Bone Daddy: we reach the next stage in the Epic of Mel shortly...all will be revealed...or will it?
smokkee mah brotha - appropriately relieved I still gotcha in my corner...had me worried there for a bit!
I don't know exact details, but I like the re-pop with AK there...at least you got your answer.
Nice job yo...keep at these...trust me, you'll make more money in the non-brogger events cause they are primarily donks in the non-brogger events at $26 and below...
