Last Night
Me this morning.
"Unggggh...so groggy, what happened last nite? I had an awesome dream, but I sure slept like shit." Check email. Pokerstars support. "No way" Open Pokerstars account, go to cashier. *rub eyes*... "HOLY SHIT!" Yeah thats really what happened. Playing poker for 8 hours straight right before bed messes with you, lol. Last nite changed me. To say that I gained some confidence would be a little short of describing how I feel this morning. I played my fucking heart out last nite, and everyone knew it. And that means more to me than winning the whole thing. Yes it was won by an online pro in the end, but playing with him made me realize that I could have what it takes to be in his shoes. Heck, I HAD him, he was MINE. One thing I will say is that he was very aggressive, and when I had hands to push him back with, he would get lucky. I did not feel outclassed in any way, no matter what those railbirders said about me. I had the support of my crew and thats all that mattered to me. I wish I could take back the hand I went out on  . Honestly thats all thats been going through my head since I woke up. I made a bad play on the river that cost me my tournament. I will post that hand, as well as others (believe me theres alot) in the advice section once I get a chance to sort though this huge hand history file.All in all, I'm very happy with myself right now. The money I won for third was about 75% of my bankroll. I pretty much doubled it in one night! Apart from that is knowing that I can play with the best, and also the respect I earned from the railbirds (you know they were just jealous  ). Keep an eye out for me in this tournament in the future. I think it suits my style perfectly. That and I'm a cheap ass student. One last thing: Do Not FUCK. with ProjectMayhem!

I think a lot of people don't check the Railbird section unless they are in the mood to railbird (Which is perfectly reasonable, of course), but there is often a lot of good stuff in there, especially when people go deep...
Anyway, here's Mayhem's tourney from last night: |

Awesome job Mayhem... can't believe a college student has a wad of cash that size in his pocket now. I think the most I ever had in the bank while in college was probably in the neighborhood of $250. Of course, when I was in college Reagan was President and some of you here weren't even born yet. But I digress...
Sweet cash!!

I distinctly remember making my final $10 withdraw one day during my sophomore year. The ATM receipt said my balance was $3.16, which was all the money I had in the world (plus the 10 bucks in my wallet that was about to be spent). I taped it to the mirror in my dorm room, as a reminder to never let myself get that broke again, and fortunately, I never did. I wonder if I still have that thing somewhere...
I'm honestly glad poker wasn't popular when I was in school. It definitely could have been a problem for me - not just financially, but because I would have undoubtedly missed out on some of the best times of my life... |
