The Day’s Events
Posted on March 15, 2008 by Ching under Poker.
Brian and I had our couples massage today at Serenity. Then we met Jan, Bree, Rob, and Jen at Granite City for lunch. After that, Brian took a nap while I watched “The Number 23.” It wasn’t spectacular, but it wasn’t bad either.
The rest of the day was spent at BCPT. I had fun even though I didn’t make any money. I got all the way to the final two tables. A pretty good outcome considering that I was short-stacked the whole way. It was a shame that Linda objected to the 16-way split. I would have gotten about $90 out of the $1500 prize pool.
Altogether I had two really memorable hands that helped me last as far as I did. I went all-in with pocket dueces and they actually held up. I really didn’t want a caller. Thus, the all-in bet. It worked out, though, because I ended up doubling up.
Then I was down to my last $5500 at $3000-$6000 blind level so I couldn’t even complete my big blind. I was all-in, blind. I didn’t want to look. When all was said and done, I flipped my cards over to reveal pocket kings. That tripled me up.
Anyway, we are invited to next month’s tourney. Legitimately, this time. Brian took fifth last night and I took sixth the week before. We’ll get them next time.
