A bunch of stuff
First off, I've given up(for now) on multi-tabling the low limit (10NL) tables on full tilt. The last 2 sessions I found myself getting bored quickly and then donking of a buy-in or 2. I've been playing quite a bit of Heads-up SNG on both tilt and stars with some success...so I think I'll continue that. I find that I can keep my attention when I have to play every hand.
A while back I posted about a guys weekend involving a bunch of gambling and various "sporting" activites. The weekend went off and was a hit. We had eight guys (including) myself and competed in eight events. The total buy-in for all the events was $100 plus expenses ($12±) and beer. The events, buy-in and payouts were as follows:
1. Homerun derby (wiffleball) $10 - 1st-$50 and 2nd-$20
2. Darts (cricket) $10 - 1st-$50 and 2nd-$20
3. Poker Tournament $25 - 1st-$125 and 2nd-$50
4. Heads Up Tournament $15 - 1st-$75 and 2nd-$30
5. Pool (8 Ball) $10 - 1st-$50 and 2nd-$20
6. Bowling (3 game total) $10 - 1st-$50 and 2nd-$20
7. Putt Putt $10 - 1st-$50 and 2nd-$20
8. Beer Pong $10 - 1st-$50 and 2nd-$20
We started Friday at about 6:30pm with HR Derby. I sucked hitting only 5 hr's and didnt advance to the second round. The ultimate winner never used all of this outs in any round. This was very fun, only problem was that we couldn't drink while playing (in a public park). (Me - 0 points & $0)
The next event was Darts which we started at about 9:30ish. It was a bracket format and I ended up taking 2nd place. We ended up have a NL cash table with the players who were waiting to throw darts and the players just jumped in and out of the poker game when it was their turn. (Me - 8 points & $20)
The third and final event of Friday was the poker tournament which started at about 12:30am. This event had the highest buy-in/payouts. We started with 5,000 in chips with blinds of 25-50 and 15 minute levels. I went on a rush late and ended up winning after flopping 2 pair with A7 vs A5. The results of this tournament decided the seeding for the Heads up touranement which was the first event played on Saturday. (Me - 10 points & $125)
After winning the SNG I drew the 8 seed in the HU tournament. It was by far the longest of any HU tourny which I ended up losing. I got thrown into the losers bracket and won my next two matches scoring myself 2 points in the overall competition. (Me - 2 points & $0)
Next we headed to the bowling alley for some pool and bowling. I think I found the only bowling alley in the world that doesn't have draft beer, so we ended up paying through the nose for beer for the next 4+ hours. I won my first pool match when my opponent scratched on the 8 ball. Had an easy run in the 2nd round and ended up taking 1st overall when my opponent again scratched on the 8 ball. (Me - 10 points & $50)
Bowling may have been the most fun event, with HR derby a close second. I rolled games of 114, 164 and 127 which was good enough for 3rd place. (Me - 6 points & $0)
After bowling we headed to the Putt Putt course. After 18 holes I was tied with one person for second place. The winner made and ace on 18 to lock it up. Me and the other guy had a 3 hole playoff that ended up going 7 holes. I took it down with and ace after he had a 2. (Me - 8 points & $20)
After putt putt we headed back to my house for beer pong. It was a bit anticlimatic as I had already locked up the overall point total and prize ($100). But for good measure I beat my first round opponent without him making one cup, my second round having to drink 2 cups and my final opponent having to drink 1 and then knocking out all 5 cups in a row. (Me - 10 points & $50)
Everyone had a blast and we are already looking forward to doing it again. This year was the Lucky 7's party (7/7/07) and next years has already been named Crazy 8's (8/8/08).
Finally, I final tabled a 180 man $4.40 on Stars last night. I played very tight and was able to win most of the hands I played. I got to the final table with about 22k in chips and was in 4th place overall. But I didn't last long.
Blinds 600-1200-100 (i think)
Hand 1. I raise to 4k from early position with A10 suited. Next to act pushes all-in for 7.5k. I call and he shows AJ and I don't improve and have approx 17.5k left.
Hand 2. I raise to 4k from middle position with 44. I get re-raised to 9.5k by a deeper stack. I contemplate pushing, but I feel like I'm against and overpair and fold.
Hand 3. I have about 11.5k left and get dealt AQ. I raise to 4k and get 2 callers. Flop comes 655, first guy checks and I push my last 7.5k into a 13k± pot. Chip leader calls and shows 63 and IGHN.
