Santa came early

5 MORE DAYS TIL VEGAS

Well last night i had my family xmas party at my aunts. Presents...family stuff...OBV. the yearly hold em tourney busts out. So 6 of us sit down and $5 buy-in start playin some poker. Well obviously i take it down and get only my uncle to pay up lol so i made a profit of $5 ha ha oh well.

So i get home at like 10:30 or so last night and decide what the hell i dont have anything to do tomorrow so i settle in for a session on AP. Start off with some 2/4NL and get bad beated to hell. One hand was a 2 outer on the river for a $500 pot or so with KK vs. 88 guy calls 2x pot sized bet on the flop and turn only to catch his 8 on the river...sooooooo gay. So at this point i take a break for a little bit and collect myself and decided to play the $7K guaranteed (which is usually the $9K guaranteed with bounties). I get to the FT and it's pretty stacked with a few very good players and im in like 6/9 left. With a few key pots i have the chip lead with 3 left. The other guy takes the 3rd place guy out and we are now down to heads up and about even in chips. Normally id prolly ask for a chop since 1st was $2200 and 2nd was $1400 instead of flipping a coin for $800. But this kid hadnt said a word all tourney so i figured there was no point in asking. Well balls on me but this kid turned out to be a f'ing card rack for the rest of the tourney. He flopped quads on me once when i flopped open ended straight flush draw and i paid him off. Top pair he has me outkicked by 1. It was just not meant to be and i ended up coming in 2nd for $1300 profit. Cant say i didnt play my best because i played very well and made a few HUGE calls late in the tourney...just card dead at key situations.

12.24.06
$7K guaranteed - 76 entrants - $1300 profit


So that brings us to today...woke up at 11am or so opened up some presents ate a hell of a lot of food and hung out with some family. After all that i decided what the hell ill sit down at some 2/4NL for a while before doing some more family stuff. Well wouldnt you know it but santa decided to put stupid people at my table along with me and i walked away with $980 profit after 28 min. So we'll see where the night takes us...hopefully it's some more FT's to come.

Heres my 2 hands that boosted me in 2/4 today...

Bless this kids heart LOL
