LOL Fuck Donkaments

The winner was a good player called 'Donkaments' (hence the title of this blog). He basically won it with a sick bluff vs. me, when 3 way. I played the hand pretty badly to be honest, but it was a sick shove from him on the river. Still, I'm obviously delighted with second place, after the initial disappointment.

The tournament just generally went well for me from the start; hit a free-roll early on for a big pot, when we both had nut straights. Then went on a sick heater with about 12 left, which unfortunately resulted in me taking the roots of the elusive Dave 'Halibut' Callaghan.

It was a pretty filthy dogging, which is hard to do to 'the butt' because he pretty much never has it. I then ran up the stack to a big CL, until it started to go wrong three handed, and I eventually lost a flip HU.

Actually nearly didn't even play it after Thursday's sickness. I was flying along in the 750 NLH tourney. Then boom, back to back hands, my done by and by , which sent me packing in 35th ish. 'Never again will I play these tourneys', I said. Although I was already registered for Saturday, so it's funny how things pan out sometimes.

I'm really looking forward to the rest of the ECOOP events now; the PLO $100 re-buy and $300 Six Max are next on my list. So hopefully I can keep up the 100% cash record.

It was a different "never again" on Sunday, I'm still feeling the effects of a pretty wild Saturday night. That's the sweet thing about the tourneys over here; they finish at about 9/10 pm, so you can still go out on the piss.

I had said to my mates from the start that if I final tabled, I'd take them for steak dinner and it was well worth it to get the rowdy rail going.
