NYRPS #12 Winnah!

Haha, small brag. Just took down NYRambler's latest event, the 2$ rebuy. I was in for 11 buyins total. Kudos to Mondogarage for puttin' up a helluva heads up battle.

Leaves me here.





With these stacks I don't really have a choice here right?


I also went on a tear in a 26$ 45-man. I ran like a god and couldn't lose no matter how bad I got my money in (worst was 25%, twice). That is, until we were 4-handed. Then I rammed AQ into AK and couldn't improve, and ended up the tourny with this hand.

Pretty sick. This guy was not good, and I really shoulda been able to take it down. I was probably a favorite on this flop and I fist pumped the turn... But the river denied me my shot at the $410 first prize, and I had to settle for 270$.




I'll take it!

Roll is actually peaked right now at $1203 and change. Why did I ever stop playing tournies??? I'm over +$600 in the last 7 days. For some reason I thought that would excite me more.

Better than a kick in the face



But sooo disappointing. I was card dead and had to suck out 3 times as a result to get this far. I make a probably ill-advised shove w about 14bb and AJo UTG and woke up QQ and couldn't get my 4th suckout. Still, I'll take it.

On a side note, I turn 25 today!

My last two pair over pair spots

Seriously?





This song got old a long time ago full tilt...
