I played in my first poker tournament at the VFW since I won the tournament there Thanksgiving weekend. It was a shootout, which means you start with a certain # of tables, and each table winner moves to the final table. I ended up finishing 2nd at my table, which didn’t get me squat. I had a big chip lead, but lost two big hands. One was when my pocket 2’s got beat by KJ, and the other is when my A8 got beat by A7. Oh well, that’s poker…what can you do?
I’ve been playing online a little more. My poker enthusiasm has started to slowly come back, and I’ve been doing fairly well in the sit n go’s online. I’ll keep playing those, and maybe I’ll move to cash games eventually. I just don’t feel comfortable playing cash games online for some reason. I’m not as good at cash games as I am tournaments, but online is completely different. Hopefully I’ll get better at that.
Speaking of poker, a few of my friends started a poker website for the Marion area, and I’m writing an article that is supposed to help people learn about poker. You can check out the website here. It’s got along way to go, but they’ve got a good start, so maybe it will turn into something.
Nothing else really going on, except for that I’m getting the Vegas itch again. I didn’t think it would come again so soon after last trip, because Vegas kicked my ass last time, but it’s back. I’m really hoping to qualify for the WSOP Main Event online, but that’s probably a long shot. Even if I don’t I’d like to go out and watch the final table of the Main Event. I’ll probably try to get out there for a couple of days before that though. I need to go out there for just a few days by myself and just play poker the whole trip. We’ll see what happens with everything.
