Inevitability's Appearance - but no didn't win...fuck didn't even final table.

This is so satisfying it's almost embarassing. Almost, but not. As the Man in the White Shirt once noted, "It's been a long time coming...well worth the wait."

I got into NLHE because of Wil's posts on poker and his MTT brought me to Stars. It is no stretch at all to draw a line connecting the good things that have happened to me playing poker, WWdN and the WWdN: Invitational. Now Having may or may not be the same thing as wanting, but regardless; it's a fuckload of fun anyway ya look at it.

Nice hand to take our boy out actually. Wil raises in LP with JJ, I to his right, looking at an A and a K from the same court reraise with the intent of racing. he calls. On an all low flop with two of my suit, he open bets. I reraise him almost all-in (my poor math skills at work yet again). He calls and I am counting on two overs and a four-flush. King on turn and something that's eluded me for a long time is now in hand.

Goals are good for the brain.

Wish I had won it of course, I was a monster chipleader early but was a little too loose towards the end and perhaps got a little Dmitri Noble in my hand selection. Oh well, one at a time I suppose. Ingoal was all ovah me - good game biotch, but I will be lookin' fer ya next time.

Okay, prolly more prose than justified by the event, but spiritual feats often seem quite unfathomable from even fifteen feet.

Just ask Judas.

Bastante.

Nice job, Iak. Now when do I get my turn to see my name in lights in a WWdN? I've been so close, been sucked out on not once but twice by CJ when he was the Wil sitin for the week and I had him allin preflop, but no cigar. Guess I'll have to live vicariously through you for now man.

Now keep posting man!
