Skillz Game Results - Razz

I somehow donked my way all the way to heads-up with muhctim, who with a 2:1 Chip advantage knocked me out in 3 hands. My best finish yet. Not sure if I would have finshed that well without some fantastic luck (ask Waffles!)

I have seen that Al Cant Hang is already slyly advertising that the BBT4 is coming. I do NOT know if the Skillz Game will be a part of it this time around currently.
I am sure Al has everything in the works.

Updated Leaderboard (Final 2008) - There will be two leaderboards starting next week, the 2009 leaderboard and the Top 10 Overall since I took over the Skillz Game.

Next Tuesday's Tournament #71943617 (01/06/09) - Stud hi/lo

Skillz Game Tonight - Limit Razz

Both little Katie (26 days old now!) and I have chest colds, so if I manage to actually play, I will be donking off chips I am sure. If I dont, have fun stealing my chips, as I am already registered.

Skillz Game Results - Limit H.O.S.E

So basically we have determine if Pirate Lawyer isnt winning this, then Lighting is, and PL finished 2nd. Nice of them to leave 3rd place money for someone else (muhctim with his 2nd cash). And your bubble boy?? Me, of course!

Lets see if either of them can do well in Razz net week.

Skillz Game Tonight - Limit H.O.S.E

Another Tuesday, another Skillz Game. And tonight there is no Bodonkey, so come out for some Double Stack Fun!! And this time I will almost certainly be late, so here is your chance to steal some of my chips before I get home to play.

Bodog Convert?

That is the question I am asking myself lately. I really enjoyed the Bodonkey series, and now I have over $200 on Bodog, or that is where I was as of yesterday morning. I decided to use some of my $T to play a couple of tournament. First I tried to satellite into the 100K, but fell short. After watch my Redskins stop the Eagles, I wanted to play another tournament, but I didnt want to be up all night with work and the baby (almost 3 weeks old now!). So I play the $1.5K Turbo. I LOVE THIS TOURNAMENT. I just played good strong but tight poker. 140 players, I lasted 1 hour 40 minutes. My last hand I should have let go, as I had QQ, with three all-ins in front of my. The others went all in with AJo (huh?), 88 (short stack, so understandble), and AA (of course it was the big stack). My QQ gets beat for 1/3 of my stack by the 88 flopping another 8, and I lost the rest to the AA. My finish position? 4th!! $15+$1 buy-in, paid me $168.00 for 1 2/3 hours of work. And I push myself to over $350 on Bodog, where 2 months ago I had only $40.

Sorry for the late update. Work tilt for my job this time of year, just another reason why I did not make the Winter Blogger meeting.

Pirate Lawyer pads his lead even more with this PLO8 Win.

Next weeks tournament - Limit HOSE

Skillz Game and Bodonkey tonight

Skillz game tonight is Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo.

Bodonkey is the 15th of 15 tournaments for points to qualify for the final on Thursday. If I dont qualify tonight (I am currently in 10th overall), then I am out, as I can not play in the 2nd chance tournament for one of the three additional seats tomorrow night.

Bodonkey Bubble

Played in the 14th of 15 Bodonkey tournaments last night, having actually played all but one of them, with the birth of daughter being the one miss on Dec 4th. Going into the tournament I was 10th on the Leaderboard. I looked that there had been about 75 people that have played in the series so far, so I was guessing Top 12 or 13 get into the final before the last chance tournament. I focused last night on not overplaying AK, which I layed down a few times to when they did not hit the flop or turn, with no draws. With only 27 people playing I knew I would have to finish at least 8th to get any point. When we finally got down to the final table, the two players directly behind me on the leaderboard were also at the table, and with many more chips. I played good smart tight poker, and watched people taking chances with questionable holdings (IMHO), and managed to get myself all the way up to 4th place. I did finally push all in with AK, and was called by two players. An Ace on the flop and a bet by WilWonka pushed out TonySoprano, and my AK was ahead of AQ of WilWonka. Wasnt strong enough though, as the Q came on the turn, and I go out just off the money (although I did get my buy-in back). The Bodonkey has been +EV for me, as it looks like regardless of if I make the final tournament, I will be up about $100.00 over the course the tournament.
