The Final Table, The Bubble!!!

Yep. It happened again on a Thursday. Drove up to Glen Burnie to play Bumper's Thursday night tourney. 24 players and the top 4 got paid. I dont even have to tell you who finished in 5th!.

I actually had a poor start. I didnt think I was going to make it to the first break. But I dug in real deep and waited for some good cards to double up and triple up on. It worked. I had gotten down to about T4000 from the original T10000 we start with. Mainly due to some hands I played when we started off about 5 or 6 handed at my table waiting for the late arrivals. But once they came in and the usual flow of the game picked up, I was back in it after a huge hand.

Got down to the final table and ran my stack up a good bit. My plan at that point was to let some of the shorter stackes knock each other out or themselves. ANTTT!!! Wrong answer. They were all catching cards and doubling and tripling up. Not good for me. Eventually, we go from 10 to 5 players and the blineds are enormous now. 5000-10000 to be exact. Crushing our stacks since there were no big chip leaders. Long story short, I got to the point were I had 15000 at this level and the big blind came to me. I get Q7 and am put in by the gentleman at the opposite end of the table. AA. Good Nite Irene.

All-in-All, I think I had a good showing considering. I do feel more confident about my play as aof late going into this weekend and the NEPC. Wish me luck.
