I am in 6 of 25 in the $3, 536 MTT, right now, tourney #81092151. If anybody is interested...
I hope I don't jinx anything by posting this ....
Oh yeah on Full Tilt!
Was what I excitedly typed in the forum on PokerVT at the last break before the tourney was over. Hoping to get a few members who had a spare 20 minutes to come watch me before I lost all my chips in a bad play, as per usual, but not this time... my friends Tanatloc, Candiman, Suggs and Olegart all showed up to cheer me on in the chat box... I am sure this created a bit of fear in my opponents as I slowly began to build my chips. At the final table with 9 left I have 9th in chips... my dead cat whisperd in my ear... Hey Dave guess what your free rolling now baby... I took his advice and realised I couldn't do worse than 9th, and it paid the top 54 so I was well into the money and satisfied with my game. The god of the turn had other plans he yelled aloud if you shove it... it will come... and boy did it ever... 3 or 4 suck outs in a row. 1 time I folded 77 with 4 left and 2 players all in... it woulda won and I shrugged and believed my journey to end at 3rd. Then on the very next hand I got the most beautiful 2 cards I had seen in about 20 hands, 10 10... which is huge at 15K SB, 30K BB and 4 or 5K antee. The other short stack went all in... I only had to click call and his 99 wasn't able to touch anything as I said my gg to him and let him know that the FullTilt Valley had his car already started and waiting that he could collect his 3rd place winnings at the cage on his way. The monster chip leader... now with an equal stack size to me said wanna chop? We can chop? it's and extra $75 each garuanteed. My dead cat told me to take the money and run, I said heck no infact I smelt the smell of a poker player who was afraid of the display he had just witnessed as I turned his 4-1 chip lead into a dead even heat. The god of the river decided this was when he was gonna get out of bed and bam after about 30 hands head up... I was getting into my car thanking the FullTilt Vallet for turning on the seat warmers, I do live in Canada.. eh? After I collected my cheque for $249.24 I went straight to the grocery store to stock up on Kraft Dinner. It was on sale... I bought a case of 50 boxes for .55 cents each. Bam! the kids are gonna love me! I am tired now but excited at the same time. I was trying to get in a lot of games today and almost went to play at another site... good thing I do occasionaly listen to the otherworldly advice of my furry friend, after all it was his idea to play this tourney, he even lied to me and told me it was a bounty... In all honest this hand history will be great to review as I spent a very long time as a regular stack just waiting for the right times with the right cards. I had a PR, preflop raise of under 20 and at times under 10 on PT3, most of the tourney and still placed 2nd. Not bad for a TAG who's trying to stop being a LAG. I am so glad that PokerVT crossed my path and I was wise enough to begin this new adventure. Now tomorrow or Tuesday I will start my SnG challenge... I might try to see if I can play 50 games tomorrow at a $1 level just to get a little more pracitce multi-tabling before I tackle the challenge. Worst to worst if I play ten a day I will be done in 10 days. Or if I play 30 a day I am done in 3-4 days, and If I win a lot I could then play the same amount over and over again just as I am sure Nick intended on showing us by putting this challenge in front of us... Better later than never... right!?!!
