Tuckfard Open Win & Pimping the Skillz Game



Tonight's game is Limit Hold'em. This one has special significance for me, as I am thinking about playing the Limit Hold'em tournament this year at the World Series of Poker, depending on which weekend the Blogger Weekend is this summer. That's right, I actually plan on making it this year.

Just a little bit of poker last night, but it was a doozy of a night for me. Played both the Tuckfard Opens. In the no limit variety, I had a strong open table for myself, and easily made the final table with near the top in chips. I fluctuated some as I was outdrawn or outplayed a little at the final table, but just kept banging away and got my first Blogger tournament win of the year. The Omaha Hi/Lo I basically luck boxed my way into 3rd place for a little bit of cash, getting the nice draws and fading other people outs for a couple of hours before my KKxx was pushed into AAxx with almost no chips left for me.

Hope to see you all tonight.

I'll try to make it. LHE holds a warm spot in my heart as that was my first HE experience for real money. I understand from Daniel Negreanu's e-letter that before Television, LHE was the game of choice.

It's a lot more action, more flops, and you can always check-raise when you got the goods.
