T-Minus One
Since I'm not done with my tournament story yet, while Glenn was gone to NC a couple of weeks ago, I'll try to update what has been going on since, without ruining the story.
What can I say, I suck at writing/blogging/journaling. With me, everything is jumbled and backwards. I'm shocked anyone wants to read anything I write, yet I get requests all the time. Go figure.
I have been running pretty well. Unfortunately, Glenn has been running badly since he got home from NC, although he is playing well. Mad suckouts coming his way. For instance, last night in the 2/5 blind NLHE game, he raised up front with AKs. Two lapmonkeys called. The flop came down ace high. Southern CA lapmonkey one had A2o. American-Asian lapmonkey two had J5o. Both went all-in on the turn. LM1 turned a deuce. Two straights were already possible as well as a straight flush draw. LM2 went all-in cuz he hit his five on the flop. It's almost like Commerce all over again. I think they must feel that hold'em is a low card game ;)
Glenn saved himself about $300, which is $300 I would have lost in a NY second. He makes good folds, I don't.
I, on the other hand, won all night long. I couldn't miss. Bought in for $200, cashed out at $851. Some of it was due to bonuses and high hands, but most was my own hard earned playing.
Tournament play has been horrific lately. Just can't seem to get anything going on there, yet get premium hand after premium hand, holding up even, at the cash games. Weird. I even managed quads once and got someone's whole stack.
At any rate, I hope things turn around for Glenn, and hold up for me, as we drive to Binion's tomorrow, first thing, for the O8 event.

Wishing everyone the best,
