Mondays at the Hoy Win, BBT3 Victory x2,
Welcome to the Donkey Show, Has anyone ever seen one? I can see maybe AL or Pauly having some story about a trip to Mexico and coming across a Donkey Show.
If you had asked me yesterday which Blogger Tourney I thought I had the least shot to win I would have said the Math. I do NOT play alot of 6 max and don’t have such a great feel for the Aggression needed at times. That being said I Won the Mondays at the Hoy aka (Math) last night for my 2nd BBT3 Toc win and a Much Needed boost to my Bank roll.
I did offer a Deal for the TOC seat but I wasn’t going to take less than a good deal like some other folks have done. At the time the deal was being discussed I was at a 3 to 1 chip disadvantage so my Bargaining Position was Poor. I forgot to mention to Actyper that I won the Mookie coming back from a 3-1 chip disadvantage also But Heads up is always about getting a little lucky at the right time. Headsup can be a grind and that is how I prefer to play Heads up if the stacks are reasonably deep.
Here were the stacks when we got HU: I Offered to deal for 2nd place plus $300. he offered $200 which Biggestron chastised me for not taking since it was more than first place money.
Seat 1: Actyper (125,794)
Seat 6: wwonka69 (57,206)
We Pretty traded blinds back and forth till this hand came up.
Not much I can do there, Once the Flop came neither of us was going anywhere. I certainly didn’t put him on 2 pair But I knew I had alot of Outs, Someone in chat said 14 x2 is that correct? after this hand The tides had turned and I had the Huge Chip lead.
Seat 1: actyper (28,988)
Seat 6: wwonka69 (154,012)
So What did I do I offered Actyper A deal for the TOC seat again. You might thinking I am crazy I offered to let him keep 50 bucks and take first. why would I do something like that? Well I am Not backed like The Worst Poker Player Ever or ScottMc and My Bankroll is Was Pretty Pathetic and 700 bucks is alot of money and That was probably close to equal value for the TOC seat. Actyper Said NO and I managed to close him out with this hand.
Once again Great Game Actyper who Played a Fantastic game and Deserved the Win.
I did get pretty decent cards during this Math tourney after getting short stacked early. Is it just me But My Hardest time in a Tourney is the First hour. Just making it thru this period without doing major Damage to my stack or ejecting myself from said tourney. Can someone explain to me why Full Tilt Poker Does not output a Tournament Summary? WTF is wrong with Full Tilt Poker? Seriously is this such a hard fucking thing to program? Also why doesn’t Full Tilt Poker Have Live Support Like Pokerstars does? I mean This is a Multi Million Dollar Corporation and they Can’t have Live support to help Work out deals and Problems in Real Time?
For the 2nd Largest Online Poker Room in the World Full Tilt Poker could make itself alittle more User Friendly by adding these features.
I am Really Enjoying My subscription To Real Poker Training. I have been watching the Videos and Trying to work out some of My Leaks. It seems to be working since My results have been improving along with my decision Making.
Tonight is the Bodog Bodonkey and the BBT3 Skillz Game which is NL Omaha Hi/Lo. Talk about a Wild Ride. See everyone there.
