The Results of the PokerWorks HORSE Tourney

Better late than never, eh?  Kind of funny how things all hit at once, like the Bloggers coming to town and racing home from two days of that to play in the PokerWorks HORSE tourney, and wanting to whine about the way poker’s still treating me.  It sucks.  I’ve been on the longest dead run of cards that I ever remember being on.  And I’ve been playing in the WBCOOP – every day except yesterday.  I have to tell you it’s a bit freaking scary when I raise the pot to 700 in chips with blinds at 15-30 and get reraised 800 more all-in only to find the raiser is climbing in with 2-4 and hits a deuce to take me out.  I keep wondering WTF is really going on.  Ah…well…back to the PokerWorks HORSE.

Love the Blogger People of the World

Now I’m seriously stressed for time.  I’m going to drag my butt out of the hay early enough to play in the first WBCOOP tournament – and it’s a bit earlier than I’d like but I’ll be there, bleery eyed, coffee in hand, enjoying the fact that I’m freerolling on PokerStars, and playing against some of the people that I just spent the weekend playing against in Las Vegas.  Which brings me to the point that I want to blog about the Las Vegas group and I want to blog about the PokerWorks HORSE tourney we played tonight.  But…no time for either, I have some other work to do, my head is tired, and I want to play the tourney tomorrow.  Besides, the blogger doin’s will take a shitload of time because I have pictures to put up. Catch up with me tomorrow!

In Vegas

staying at the Suncoast, nice room, not above the ordinary, looking down over my old digs section of town, but my immediate – straight down – view is the roof of the valet/registration entrance.  Glad I didn’t come for the view.  I suppose it’s good in a way, if I had to throw a chair through my window and escape in an emergency, I’d only have to drop about 3 floors, better than 7 or 8.  Yah, I think of those things.

Back in the real world

Poker!  That is the real world, isn’t it?  I’d hate to think that the daily living we do is the real world, kinda depressing actually.  Perhaps poker is life on steroids, each little segment of a day of poker is like playing out a scene in life to a degree where all the misfits and weirdos people get together to meet and greet and see if they can beat the hell out of each other.  So was the case last week.

Let’s Talk Fun Things

like I’ve never won one but they are still fun.  The HORSE Tourney ended up with nine of us showing and surprise, surprise, surprise, Alcanthang was one of the contestants.  Super Nice!  We had the regulars, JB, PokerHack, Me, Grupper, and Cat came back, as did the crazy kid with the podcast – Mr. djhomeschool himself, and Alexe55 – tea drinker extraordinaire, and Katie.
