So its been awhile since ive made a blog post... only about a year ;) Well ladies and gentlemen i have had a pretty sick poker life since late August.
The last weekend in August i got brutally headbutted by some dbag at a local bar for spilling his drink (not so sick life :(). He broke both bones in my lower jaw and ran like a girl, the police were never able to catch him, so i was wonderfully stuck with the bill :/.
The weekend after this happened i found myself realizing i was going to be desperate for cash in the near future after i got the 7,000 surgery bill and the 500 hospital bill. This is before insurance (which isnt much in my case) of course yet a large some for a guy like me :P So like any other weekend i played the 125k free roll on merge to try to achieve getting my shot at the 125k gtd prize pool for free! I managed to roll through the free roll stacking chips like they were pennies. Who uses those damn things anymore?? So the next day while agonizing in pain and still hoped up on Vicodin i prepare myself as best as i could to play the 125k and hope for a big score!
A few hours into the tourney i took a bad beat leaving me with 2 BB i wanted to scream because i feared my shot at a large score was gone, yet i continued on my grind to as normal. A few hands later i was in the BB with half my stack in the pot already and 3 people already in the pot so i stuck my chips in there with 85 off suit. Flopped a straight draw and turned the nut straight, allowing me to run around in my apartment with joy :) The very next hand in the SB i received JJ from the dealer as a gift to my path to success ;) After these 2 hands i found myself above chip average and began crushing the tournament with my new found confidence. I smooth sailed all the way to the final table with roughly a top 3 chip stack, well the money got to me and i made a few bad folds/calls and found myself exiting the tourney in 5th place for 6,000! Still huge for me and at the time was 3 times my largest cash prior to that. These eased my pain from my jaw a lot but it did force me to miss another night of work, due to the fact i work third shift :P
So fast forward to the next weekend sunday was here and the large gurantees were here. All week i was telling my friends just watch I am going to back to back final table it, now that i have the bank roll to play them :) Sure as shit i came out the door crushing the tournament and had a huge stack throughout it. I found myself on the final table yet again and this time took a bad beat QQ
