This and that
Last Friday night I played in an online O/8 tournament and got first place. I have definitely risen from "suck" to "better than suck" at O/8. More than anything, I am focussed on scooping. If I can't scoop, then I run away.
I followed that up with a 57 person NLHE tournament on Saturday. The tournament payed out 1-10. I got 11th. I do that a lot. I lost with AT. I do that a whole lot.
The poker league is winding down with only two more Sundays to go. I can still catch first place, but the most likely result is second place. I think first gets a bi $75 payday and second gets $25. It ain't about the money. It is all about the bragging rights!
I was shocked to see Jackie's own Josh win a nice $6k in a WSOP second chance event. He is a good poker player, so I am happy to see him win. I can see from the pictures that everybody's favorite dealer, Beti was there, as were several other not-as-pretty members of the Jackie's crew. Congratulations Josh!
I got my Party Poker magazine, Party Life, in the mail. I am so sick, I read it cover to cover. It is a bit silly, but it is interesting enough. I also read the WSOP "article" in Maxim (actually a special advertising section paid for by Full Tilt Poker). There was absolutely nothing of interest in it. Well, I liked the picture of Clonie, but that was about it.
