I don't have time to go into details, but MY GOD do I have stories for you guys after today.
Long story short: I'm in the Main Event tomorrow!!! That's what I'm talking about! I actually didn't play ANY poker until the 7:00 $1000+50 super satellite tonight (I hung out with my friends and played a bunch of silly casino games for most of the day), but I made it. I BARELY made it, but I made it. It was a crazy, crazy night.... I'll go into details later, but a few highlights include being completely card dead for hours, having a tiny stack at the third (?) break and making an awesome comeback after that, getting into two verbal altercations (this is so not me) with other players, nearly (and I do mean NEARLY) bubbling the whole damn satellite, and so on. To give you an idea, we started with 6000 chips, I got as high as 70kish, and ENDED with 9000 chips. Yes, 9000 chips, with 6000/12,000 blinds and a 2000 ante! Holy freaking crap. But... it's over, and I'm in. The tourney stats at 11 AM (less than 7 hours from now), but I'm planning on arriving late, so I can get some reasonable amount of sleep. We start with 25k chips and blinds of 25/50, so I'm not too worried about missing the first level or two. Anyway, that's that. More updates later. I'll text RR tomorrow and see if he'll be around to post some updates (in a new thread in the Railbird section this time around). If not, I'll see what I can do. |

YEA BOY!!! Do it.... Im lookin forward to all the stories
Does this mean you'll be there for longer than Sunday? If so, if I cant make it Saturday I may swing by on Sunday (on the way back from Philly) and stay the night maybe and then leave on Monday (or Tues) or somethin Lemme know, so I'll bring some extra clothes and cash... Edit: I guess it depends if you're still in (duh) How many days is this event anyway?

Wow, man, congrats! -- I guess you got those REAL bad beats (i.e. K10 vs. K10) out of your system, eh?

So yeah, I'm out. I was rolling - and I do mean ROLLING along - until three key hands took me out... It was a combination of bad (in hindsight anyway) play and definitely bad luck.
I'll write up the details later - My friend is insisting we go play some minigolf right now to take my mind off of this. And he's right - kicking his ass and winning myself $1 is EXACTLY what I need right now. Be back later. |
