SCOOP tickets

This is strange. I only did a couple parts of the 5 part competition, but they not only awarded me the $22 scoop ticket for completing the challenge, they also gave me a $109 ticket for doing "such a good job."

Strange, but I'll take em, I love free money.

So, now I have these 2 tickets in addition to the $33 ticket I won in the 8-game freeroll. SCOOP, here I come.

I really wanted to play the 8-game, but it starts at 11am my time on a Thursday. So unless I want to take a vacation day.......

Here are the emails........

The Mookie BTYB BDR

I'm here playing the mookie. Got some good cards early to go up a little, now back below starting. Here I am at first break.

What I'm really concerned about is the store was out of my staple (must have bought em out) so I had to purchase this. We'll see how it affects my play, this is virgin territory.

Fold, Fold, Fold.... 42 might be the Stinky.

Nothing happening. Bust hand sure to be posted shortly. Guess it could be a 2x hand.

Hey, re-raised a raise and a call w/ AQo, suprisingly they both folded. Still not back to starting, but close.

I think I've had a 2o with every other card in the deck. Am I whining yet.

Yay, finally doubled up w/ JJ vs AQ. Amazing it held. Had my 'gg' typed in but didn't have to press enter. 4620 now.

Trying to cut down on smokes so I put them in the kitchen instead of by the 'puter. All I do is have to get up more.

I have about 1/10 of 1st. But 1/3 of 2nd. What's up w/ that lucko.

Lost a bunch to shorty mrcowdawg. Got ahead after the flop but he straighted on river. Another smoke.

Down to 2089 at 2nd break. Push please.....

and out K10s againt AK.

ah well, all fun.....

Poker from the Rail Tourney

Ran pretty good/lucky in the first Poker from the rail tourney and came away with 3rd. No TOC seat, but enough cash to pay for the rest of the BBT5. So I got going for me, which is nice.

I was pretty intimidated by my starting table which had twoblackaces, Loretta and a few others.

Things started out pretty slow, was down to just under 2K. Early position min-raised (uh oh) and small blind called so I called from the big blind as well w/ Qd7d. Flop was 77Q. Can you say bingo. Anyway all three of us got it all in. I was up against AA and A7. Wallah ! a triple up to over 6K and I could start playing some poker.

From there I can't remember any big hands, I just chipped up at about the same rate as the average stack increased.

I ran into a major snag as we approached the final table, I ran out of Busch Light. I believe that may have cost me the ToC seat. At the final table I should have gone out about 6th but my AJ > JJ and I improved a couple more spots before bowing out.

Good times, see you at the Mookie.

There goes my bankroll.....

See alcanthang's blog for all the details. Should be big and fun.

Timing

Why don't I get these hands during Stud?

Damn game switched to Stud one hand later.

But I did win the hand and showed

There once was a donk from Tacoma
Who's Pinky's said to have aroma
He went in with spades
They avoid him like aids
So he drank himself to a coma
