One of our own


When bloggers used to get together to play tournaments online, there was lots of talking junk. The money wasn't that important, but the fellowship and bragging rights were. Now it's one blogger, me, against 529 non-bloggers who are left in the Senior's Event No. 30 (out of a starting field of 3752). I hope you're happy that I'm well-placed to cash. Who knows? Maybe I'll get some luck and go deep.

I'm tweeting, so you can catch some highlights there when play resumes Saturday at 3:00 p.m. I'm memphismojo on twitter.

The disappointment of the day was when Poker Grump had three bad beats in a row and was eliminated. He plays way better than most of the geezers and I was sorry for his bad luck.

Above: Wonder what 24,800 in chips looks like? Here's my bag for Saturday's play.

    Took a look. It pays 396. Blind/ante getting there. Should start to move quickly. Play smart. Why'd I say that; it is obvious you have.

    Looks like it ended about 2AM. Relax and a light meal and we'll watch for you at the final table.

    Found your tweeter last night right after I found grumps. 10 seconds later he was out. Glad I didn't have that effect on you!

    Hope you take it down!

    I'll say one thing, MOJO. Reading that link let me know what you were up against. I hadn't thought of the contest in those terms.

    Good going, sir.
