Last night we had our first online tourney in a year for my crew of guys and had 11 people show up including an “outsider” who just looked thru and guessed the very easy to guess password along with a beggar begging for money! I had never seen beggar’s on stars only on FTILT, so for a while it was amusing but grew tiring. One of the boys emailed support and he was warned.
I played the tourney fast and loose, and in hindsight I wish I would have locked it down a little more. I folded two hands that turned out to be boats, and I got rivered twice to be crippled then eliminated. There is no small amount of pride amongst our crew, and we are very competitive with each other, so I would defnately liked to have played a little different. It was taking down by my buddy Tim, who won leg one of our live monthly tourney. Well done sir!
I played two abbreviated sessions sandwiched around the tourney lasting about 20 min each and managed to pick up 50 bb’s. I didn’t want to push it and go for more, so protecting my win I just shut er down and watched the end of the tourney, as well as watching another buddy play a 1 table sng. All in all, a fun tourney with my friends, and a good win at the low limit cash games.
I didn’t get the chance to look at pokerfox.net yesterday, but I did do some reading from “The Tao of Poker”. I am going to start either Read’em and Reap this week, or I may start Beyond Bluffs, which I picked up a while ago but didn’t read. I actually have a bookshelf full of books that I haven’t read cover to cover, and some others that I want to reread. I have a long winter of study ahead of me, as I really work to improve my knowledge and skill at this fun, yet sometimes frustrating game.
