Easter Extravaganza
Since my family isn't big into Easter, decided to head to Borgata for the Easter Extravangaza. $300 + 40, 30 minute levels, 10k chips to start. (110 entered, about 10k 1st) I play very tight the first few levels and never have to show down and get my stack up to about 14k. Table full of absolute stations like your typical Borg Tourney. Blinds are 100/200 and I am in the BB. UTG + 1 (has me covered) raises to 800 and 2 callers in MP and LP, I look down and see KdKh. I pop to 3100, and UTG + 1 shoves. 2 folds, I call. He shows JJ and flop comes 9TJ. No help and I am out after about 2 hours which sucks. Would have had a nice stack too.
I take a quick walk to compose myself and go over to 2/5 NL. They seat me between two friends, to my left has about 3k, to my right has about 4500 (500 max buy-in). To my right is raising every hand (thats my job asshole!) and I get nothing to play back at and they leave after about 20 hands and I haven't played a single hand yet. About 1 round later, I pick up AJh in MP. I raise to 25, new guy to my immediate left goes to 55, CO calls, rest fold. I call the small raise, and the flop comes QcThKh. Wow broadway with nut flush draw, not a bad flop. I have about 470, to my left has about $300, CO has me covered. CO donk bets 200 into the 180 or so pot and i get mad i have to shove and cant get some of 3 betters money as well. He flips AK! Way to play awful buddy!
No more major hands, I start to raise 50% or so, and often get 4 callers who all fold to my cbets with nothing. I leave with about $1700 for about a 1200 profit in only about 3 hours. so up a little more then 800 for the trip. Cant complain.
Happy Easter!

ESPN Mens Tournament Challenge
group: waldstein
password: dwal
Try to get me money before first game (Thursday) if you are interested. If I dont know you personally make sure to let me know your entry name so I know who all the participants are. Usually get 40-50 entries but hoping for more this year.
As far as poker goes, havent been playing too much lately. Final Tables a PLO and got 7th on FT for like $200 after having a huge chip lead. Then was chip leader for 2 hours in the 10k guaranteed and ended up bubbling after losing most of my stack with KK vs AA. Had I won that hand I would have had double anyone else with like 50 left. In the Blogger Tourney's I got 16th on Thurs which really sucked for side bets sake. I shoved a huge draw with AQc into TT on a TK2 board with two clubs. Oh well, sucks to me me like always.
Peace out yo

SHIT!
I just made a post on my blog about how bloggers suck at poker in blogger tournaments. Is this really what my life has become? Not sure what is sadder,
a) that I have a blog
b) that people are reading/have read my blog
c) that people commented about my blog post in my blog about bloggers playing badly in blogger tourneys

Bloggers?
I'm amazed that the play is so bad in these tourneys. Does everyone who plays have a blog about poker? I would assume that at the worst everyone in these has to at least read about poker right? How can anyone be open limping on the button if they know anything about poker? How can anyone call bets ~late in the tourney with 2 BB behind if they know anything about poker? I have seen both these things happen multiple times in the 4 tourneys I played that I wanted to play in and I just dont get it.
It doesn't seem to be the people who know everyone who suck the most, so i guess that makes sense but as an "up and coming" blogger i felt it needed to be said. But I hope the poeple that suck continue to suck. Ans side note, I hear that all the cool bloggers link to a lot of blogs so if you want me to link to your blog, let me know. God, this blogging shit is dumb and i barely know how to form a sentence but anyway, fun stuff. Peace out.

Bubble Master
First two Blogger tourney I got LB points but bubbled just out of the money. Sunday got 20th and top 18 paid. Shoved with AQ, ran into KK, nothing I could have done.
And then last night (Monday) in the 6-max I overplayed an OESD with only one card to play because a big stack who was playing very unorthodox looked weak to me with a turn lead on a 567J rainbow board and i thought he would fold to my shove. He had a set so I guess it was a mistake, but not sure if thats ROT though.
Been a fun few tourneys so far, I wish they started earlier because I wake up at 5 for work and all. Tonight is stud and I assume my edge will be greater in the non NLHE games being the master HORSE player I am. LOL
