Some Online Tourneys

The last week or so has been spent setting up the CHIMPS Poker Series. This is the resurrection of the Ante-Up Poker night. Setting up the web site takes be back to college a bit. Back then I used to hand type the code for web sites. Figure out how old I am now????

Event #1 for the CHIMPS series was Tuesday night. We ended up getting 25 people. I got two of my friends who don't listen to the podcast to play. One was the first one out and the other finished middle of the pack. My tournament was interesting. Early in the first level this hand happens:

All good plans go in the crapper on the river. This leaves me with 620. I get blinded down a bit and make a couple of shoves, one light and one with cards. I get 2,2 and decide its time to play and I get a double-up.

I asked Aqua what he had. He said that he had a 9 and a straight draw. Damn it. Shortly after the final table sits I am a 3:1 dog to 8TH PLACE. I end up busting fairly quickly and earn two points.

Last night I got back early from dinner and signed-up for Squib's Beat the Dead HORSE. There were 9 people. We lost Squib within like 10 minutes and got down to the final table. At the 1 hour break WE STILL HAD 8 people. WTF! I think everyone ended up taking the chip lead. I ended up busting on the bubble in 4th place.

One day I will cash :)
