August 31, 2007Suspended Bodog promotions....I have temporarily suspended my endorsements of Bodog due to their recent legal issues over their domain, and the patent infringement case they are currently involved in. I am sure that Bodog will resolve these issues, and once they are settled, I will once again happily endorse their products!

Last night there were hour long shows featuring 2 of the 4 'first' days.... more to come!

I really didnt do that poorly... except in the RAZZ section, where I was kinda at a loss on what was a good hand to stay in with... but I more than made up for it in both the Holdem sections, and in the Omaha HI section. I ended up coming in 7th, which was pretty satisfing for me on my first attempt at HORSE!

I decided to play at CarbonPoker, simply because I had not played there in the past. I entered a $10 short-handed tournament that had 85 players. It took me a while to get used to the interface there, as it's a bit different that I was used to. It is a pretty nice layout, just done differently than some of the other rooms. Play was smoothe, and things were pretty well run. I even managed to come int 5th! Give CarbonPoker a go if you get the chance!

The turnout was not bad, but there were only 21 players total. I really didnt get much in the way of cards, but managed to take my initial stack of 3000 up to over 5000 when my big blind hand of 4 7 off hit on a flopped 4 7 2! Guy before me made a big raise, and I went over the top putting him all in. He had pocket 5's, and did not improve, whereas I hit the boat on the turn. From there, things went downhill. I was moved to another table to balance things, and just NEVER saw any cards. I final got AKo, under the gun, and moved my remaining 3K in. I got called by pocket 5's ( again ) but never improved. Crippled, I had to push from my bb with my remaining 600, and ran into K's. Can't complain about how I played... but cards sure help! Posted by fatbill at 09:18 AM | Comments (0) |
