The Local Ark Dealer Is Gonna Be Swamped Today
Another weekend bites the dust. Sigh. We got about a foot of rain around here Saturday and Sunday, which definitely reduced the amount of work that was accomplished. I still managed to enough done so it wasn't a total waste, but still. I think we have one more day of this before it moves off and torments someone else.
I pulled up the BBT3 tournament of champions on Saturday while on dinner break and I was surprised to find it rather engrossing. Congratulations to those who won. I certainly would have picked cmitch, since he had found KK or QQ three times to pick off shoves in the first twenty minutes I saw and had accumulated a huge stack. One dubious decision undid a lot of good work in a hurry. Sorry man.
As for the Blog Banner freeroll, I ended up having fifteen minutes instead of ten. I got donked early - my shove was called (!) by a shorter stack with KQo and I lost the flip (duh) with JJ. I then went into shove-every-hand mode, which lasted the expected six or eight hands until I ran into AA. I even had a decent hand that time (KQs) but it did not come close to improving. Wheee!
No WSOP for me. Not that I came anywhere close - not at all - but I certainly would have been conflicted if I'd won a main event package. I think the WSOP not taking direct registrations from the poker sites has pretty much killed any chance that I'll ever play in the Main Event - I just can't justify tossing 10K at a tournament when there are so many other uses. If I did get freakishly lucky, I'd probably take the trip to play one of the min buyin events and bring enough to play some bigger cash games, but at least half of the win would be going straight to bills and taxes and stuff.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
Anyhow, it's time to get back to work. Since I didn't spend time at the office this weekend, I'm already behind. What a joyous feeling.
