Weekend Stuff
Friday night I signed up for some $1000 freerolls on Party Poker just to play a little. The payout structure sucks but it is fun to play a little. 3500 people in each, top 220 get paid but 220 gets like 70 cents and 9th place gets like $10 so you can see how crappy it is to play for 6 hours.
So in one of them there were about 500 or so people left and I had to get up early Saturday morning so I said screw it. I had 20000 chips and blinds were 800/1600 I think. I pushed with 87s got called by AK and I won. 40k chips. I just kept going to lose my chips. Next hand, 24o and I pushed and got called by AA. board came 4 diamonds and I had the 4 of diamonds and won the hand. Won a couple blinds and had like 100k chips. Next hand I had 24o again and I raised to 20k, huge stack pushes 120k chips and I call. He has AK, I hit the 2 and doubled up. He had 15k chips left. Next hand I get JJ and same guy calls with TT. I knocked him out and I have like 240k chips. Bedtime so I just let myself get blinded off. I checked my account in the morning and I have $7 in it! :) woohoo I'm rich. $7 was good for an 11th to 20th place finish. So I'm glad I didn't stay up however many more hours just to win $7. Fun fun
Saturday we went to the Travel Show in NYC and got lots of booklets and free goodies. We attended two lectures by Arthur Frommer which were cool. I also got to take the Jeopardy test again but I unfortunately did not pass again :(
Not a good weekend for poker playing. Didn't do well in any of the tournaments I played and didn't get to play any cash games. That's it for now!
