Once again I found myself alone for the evening. The wife has been neck-up in school stuff for the last few weeks and doesn't look to slow down for the rest of the semester. Her hard work has resulted in some spare time for me after the kids go to bed. Obviously I'm gonna take the opportunity to sling some cards.

I saw a 3+ rebuy to the 50/50 and figure what the hell. My only self induced exception was that I would not rebuy more than 5 times. I decided to start with the minimum of 1000 chips, and never rebought until the add-on.

At the same time I saw a 3K guarantee that was about to start with a little overlay, so I decided to join that as well. Then I realized it was limit. DOH. I buckled in and played G-cox tight until I accumulated some chippies.

The rebuy was easy and I got my 50+5 with a few minutes left of registration into the 50/50. I decided to cash out and take the T$ to focus on the LHE since I was hovering in the top 10 for a good bit.

I hit the final table as the short stack, but built up to 3rd in chips, unfortunately I sniffed out a bluff that ran into a straight and petered out in 5th.

So mark that about $30 invested turned into about $300. I'll take that on any night.

Here's a pic of the 3k final table.


Also a hearty congrats to Dusty who was busy taking down a $3 PLO MTT...Talk about ROI!

Duck And Cover.

I joined the Riverchasers late last night and donked it up real good.

About the third hand I see is QQ. I ended up calling a push and ran into KK. My donkey powers were fully engaged though and I rivered a flush and bad beat Rich.

I had a bunch of fun from there and lead the tourney until we got close to the FT. I went on card-dirge tilt and gave some chips away only to flame out in 6th. Donkaments are so much fun.

I dabbled in 5/10 Limit Stud/8 for a bit, bought in for $200, floundered down to about $80 and built donked it back up to about $350 before closing out the night.

I want to send a hearty good luck to my friends and everyone else in the Houston/Galveston area. Sit tight, and don't panic, and NEVER forget your towel.

Have a good weekend folks, I'm hosting poker at the house tonight for my neighbors and a couple of bloggers have joined the fray, should be a good time!!
