On the Scottwire

Every fall around this time I end up getting a cold. It never fails. As soon as the temperature starts these violent swing from 70 to 40 back to 70, I end up catching something. My nose and throat don't like me but the rest of me isn't to bad at least. I can still function :)

So I haven't played much the last couple of days. Wednesday I only played briefly and lost $20 on Bet365. I then played in the $20,000 freeroll at 7pm on PartyPoker. Their tournament was having many issues and kept pausing. There were 853 of us left out of 3500 and then they cancelled the tournament!!! I was hoping they would divide up the prize pool but they still haven't. I emailed Party's support and they said they have escalated my request to whoever is in charge of that. Guess we'll see.

If you don't know, PartyPoker is having a 3 billionth hand thing and every 5 million hands until it gets there, the table that plays that hand gets extra money. I think hand number 2,975,000,000 shared $18,000 at the low limits. The money goes up depending on what stakes you are playing at. So I sat down about a half hour before it was going to hit at 2 1/2 6max tables. I managed to make about $25 while I was there and I missed the money hand by about 250 hands. After the money hand hits they then announce a $20000 freeroll for first 2000 registrants. So I hopped on that and finished 500 something. Nice pot building I had KQ on the button with 4 limpers and I called. Flop QT4 or something. One guy min bet, another guy called and I pushed all in. The flop caller called with AQ and I was done.

9:30 came the chiptalk.net tournament. I unfortunately don't remember many hands from last night. A lot of my chips were accumulated by stealing blinds. I played really tight most of the night so a few times I was able to get away with true steals with junk :) So a few hours later I made it into the money and managed to finish in 4th place and $52 :)
