Res Ipsa Poker

Oh, yeah, that's it. Now I remember how to do well in blogger donkaments:

1. Win your coinflips
2. Don't lose to dominated hands and donk calls
3. Suck out egregiously at least once.

It wasn't much of a cash, but I am on the board (wooo) in the BBT3 with an 11th place in the Mookie last night. The statement in yesterday's post that I was going big or going home? Well, it didn't happen. I ran JJ into KK during level one for half my stack (thank you scary flush board for saving me the rest) and it was uphill the whole way.

It really should have been a short ride, as I also ran QQ into AA early in the first hour. Gruesome river Q and I was back almost to the starting stack. So dirty.

When we got down to the last two tables the blinds were crazy - four people had pretty decent stacks, everyone else had an M of four or less. I finally busted shoving QJo into a big blind's AKs. I suppose I could have avoided that, but when the tables are 5-6 handed it's not like you can be too picky about your spots.

Tonight is the Riverchasers, which I think is PLO. Remember to say "wheeeeeeee" early and often, because it will be nuts. 9PM eastern, which is mercifully an hour earlier than the Mookie - speaking of which, thanks Mookie for reducing the starting stacks. While more play is usually good, staying up until dawn is not so much. Also, congratulations on the newest minimook.

Until next time, I yawn.
