I'm Shocked!

Tonights Poker Blog Tournament

133 poker players

$20+$2 entry fee

$798 for 1st place

Wow, I can’t even express how I feel right now. Amazing. I’ve never played better poker in my life. I won’t be able to sleep a wink, but I’m tired as hell from staying up last night to watch the Red Sox, so I have to try and get some sleep. Tomorrow I’ll post a complete recap of my first ever big tourney win. For now I have to thank Iggy for putting it all together. Maybe now that I won, he’ll finally pimp my blog. It was a great tournament with some of the best poker players the blogging world has to offer. I really don’t even belong in their company. Congrats to Todd who battled with me heads up at the end and finished 2nd. He started out a short stack, but was killing me and took the lead several times. He’s a much better player than I am, but I got the cards at the right times.

I’m off to bed…sweet dreams!

Biggest Choke Ever!

I’m never been a baseball fan, but I had to stay up tonight and watch the New York Yankees lose to the Boston Red Sox after being up 3-0 in the series. Never has a team went up 3-0 in the ALCS and then lost the next three games. The Yankees did. Never has a team lost a series after being up 3-0. The Yankees did. Yankee hater I am.

Three games in the series were among the longest ever in MLB playoff history and Boston battled to win two of those in extra innings. Boston outplayed New York in every aspect of game 7 and deserved the series win. The curse is over and we never have to hear about it again. It’s on to the World Series for the Red Sox.
