Donkaments and the Donkeys Who Love Them.

Had the best night of poker I've ever played. Better than winning 12k that one time way back when. This was just good ole fashioned fun. Sucked out. CrackedAces like the master, sucked out seemingly at will and ran the table like the cardrack I get to be every once in a while.

Didn't play horribly either.

Best part?

Not this, actually.



Because as much fun as that 1071 bucks was to win, it ended like this!



No, this, which followed about 3 hours later was better.



Much much better. Why? It was two tables open and the IM working as me and mah boy climbed the ladder. That dude got nothing to work with because I was channelling all the blogger good karma big time. I will take little credit for the second run. I played a few good hands and stole like the monkey I am, but was also a major cardrack and delivered some sickening illness to otherwise innocent mouth breathers. Fuck, the two of us almost final tabled this bitch. Try doing that with someone you hang with regularly. No mean feat.

Anyway 1500 bucks later I have to say it. The MWGB does it again. Now do you believe?

As always a sincere thanks to all who railed. By the end I was having more fun chatting that second push than actually playing it. And look how it ends! If not for that little "Fuck you, you greedy twat!" it woulda been back-to-back final tables in one night!

Next time?

Laytah.

It doesn't seem like anyone goes out of tournaments just getting beat. Its always dramatic like this! Nice run though.

That was a kick ballz time man, no doubt.

Looking forward to another run just like it tonight. Then next year in the WSOP Main Event.

Congrats on one seriously awesome night of poker for you man.

Two nice runs Iak glad I could be around to watch.

And don't listen to the bitter, "You're so lucky I'm so unlucky" haters. There is nothing to be ashamed about when the deck hits you in the face.

First two deep runs of your summer of fun.
