A little something different...
I really didnt feel like making the drive to Bumper's tournament tonight. So, I was all prepared to get some much needed rest this evening (who am I fooling) when I get a call from Scott telling me he's playing in a tournament in Greenbelt (which is not far) and has a real low buy-in ($25 + $5). What the hell. I go just to see some tourney hands and get a lil play in.
I get to UAEGreg's place and the apartment is packed with folk I dont know nor have I played with them (I ended up knowing about 4 players: MixedBruh, TerpFan, UAEGreg, and TheMerck). 3 Tables, 23 players. T3000 in chips. Nice setup. We draw for seats and I end up at the table with MixedBruh and TerpFan. That was not my plan. The plan was to sit at a table of fish that I knew nothing about and then would know nothing about me. I would blow past them and then see the good players at final table. WRONG.
No big deal. I can play this table. I know how MixedBru and TerpFan play. I can hang. I play a few pots and lose. So, I shifted gears and tightened up til I caught The Ladies (QQ). Played them with the raise and took down a pot. Oops. UAEGreg busts out first at the middle table and guess who has to move to his seat? Yep, me. No biggie. I get over there and hold my own until we break down to two tables. I make it to 20. and then end up right back at the table I started with.
Anyway, I'm kinda tired now. So, I'm gonna expedite this. I make the final table with a nice stack. However, this guy from one of the other tables comes over with 2 big racks of chips. Had to have at least the chips of about 8 players. lol Well, this dude has no clue how to play. But yet he has everyones chips. I'm about 2nd or 3rd in chip position at the final table. Mr. Big chips never folds a hand nor does he check when he gets to the final table. He showed cards a few times and was playing the worst hands and was catching cards left and right. So, if you got into a hand with this guy, you had tobe willing to go to the river and you could not bet him off a pot.
Well, we get down to 5 players (Top 4 finishers get paid) and I'm dealt JJ. Time to make a move. What the heck. I onlyplayed $25 to get into this thing. I play this hand. I raise. Big Chip calls. Flop comes down with all low cards. I bet about 3/4 of the pot. He calls. What the hell does this guy have. I cant shake him. Turn comes down. I go all-in. He calls. I showdown JJ. This fool shows down 55 and caught a 5 on the turn. BAM!!! I'm out on the bubble in fifth place and I'm mad enough to put my fist through some drywall. Oh well. It was fun playing. I got the practice that I wanted. I'm just trying to fine tune somethings before going to A.C. this weekend and Foxwoods the following weekend.
I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Good night.
