So it all started by deciding to stay home rather than work three hours at Best Buy last night(i technically wasn't on the schedule so it was an option to stay home), the 16th of November.I told myself that I'd take 100 to 1,000 at the cash tables. As soon as I hit the tables, I took a beat for 65, grrrr, down to my last 35. On the chat box, a tournament flashed across the screen for a 13,500 dollar guaranteed tournament. What the heck, I went ahead and registered.
Back in January of 2005, I actually won a $6K guaranteed tournament, which had a 22 dollar buy-in, but also had rebuys. It ended up being the best tournament I had taken down at that point, how can a Donk get so lucky?
Anyway, after playing for a little over 5 hours I bit the dust in SECOND place, how lucky can I get. Here you go Mondo: lucky, lucky, lucky. I put a couple bad beats on some people in crucial moments of the game but played the best I could. To me, its been the best tourny so far because of the amount of players verse the last big tourny. This tournament had 593, the tournament in January of 2005 had about 185 players.
However, like all poker players, I hope someday to win a bigger tournament than that. But, I'm not gonna get too far ahead of myself there. Although getting sucked out in heads up play, second paid out about 2,200. Not to bad for a nights work.
Here's a screen shot of the tournament lobby after the game was finished................................
