Yesterday I went deep in the poker tournament, then had a hiccup to finish out of the money. At the end of my post, I said tomorrow's another day -- and it is/was!
I played today in the 2 p.m. tournament at the Horseshoe Casino (Tunica). The entry was $110 and 49 runners sat down to 20,000 in chips. Early on, I was card dead, but then the cards started coming. I had A-A twice and K-K twice and got big action all four times.
At the final table, there were 980,000 chips in play. When there were eight left, I had 320,000 and the other seven had 80,000 to 100,000 range. Several times a player suggested a chop (divide the prize money) of the $4,050 prize pool. I kept saying let's play for a while. Finally one of them said, let's give the big stack $1,000 and divide the rest ($440 each). That was good for me, so we did.
I wish I could write about how awesome I played, but actually I stayed out of trouble and didn't have anything bad happen. And, oh yes, I had good cards. Hard to beat good cards.

Awesome. 'Grats.
Wow, Congrats Mojo. Knew it was just around the corner. Methinks retirement may be quite lucrative for you.
ReplyDeleteNice score! Congrats, buddy!
ReplyDeleteNice! Congratulations MOJO!
ReplyDeleteWell done Mojo,you da man. Can you teach me how to get AA and KK sometime? I think it might help my game.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely turned out better than running QJ into AA and AA! Congrats
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... a comment or two from me and now you are on top. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Your br is skyrocketing lately. It's happening too often to be the luck factor.
ReplyDeletedang man, you are running like a god in those things. nice job!
ReplyDeleteContinue schooling the above whippersnappers Mojo -- at tables and blogs.
ReplyDeleteVery nice; perhaps consider writing a book, I could use the help.
