It's nice to get some rungoot

I've been running meh on Bovada -- lots of min-cashes or near-misses. When I logged on this morning, two bridge players from Raleigh (Wayne and Lance) were there, and we all agreed to play the $3.30 rebuy and add-on at 11:30 CDT. For $3, donkeys players get T2000. For $3, you can rebuy when your chips are 2000 or less. Most players do that, but we didn't.

The three of us waited until the first break, then entered and did the add-on for a total investment of $6.30. The add-on gives you T10,000, so why do the rebuy? In fact, why even enter before the break unless you intend to play tight as a clam.

One of my buddies did the Annette Obrestad thing: he covered his hole cards and played position and stack sizes. He lasted a couple of hours, but finally busted out. The other guy went deep, but went card dead, then was eliminated when his 10-10 lost to A-Q. You gotta win the flips as a certain blogger says.

At the final table, I was dealt a series of good hands. When we were down to three, I had slightly more chips (1,037,000) than the other two combined. On the last hand, the short-stack shoved for 411K, and the other guy with 505K called. I had ♥A ♣Q and also shoved, making the second guy put the rest in. The first guy had two rags (♣10 ♠8), the second guy had ♦7 ♣7. An ace on the flop pretty much sealed the deal. It's nice to run goot.
