Thank you so much rakeback for this nomination. But I still have no clue if I am going to play this. Yesterday night, at around 10:23 p.m. I had a family emergency. If you wish to know further details on this, then please PM me. Just be prepared to hear some sad but true tales

I doubt I will be able to play this one. I have a party to be at during the time this is going to happen.

If I can make it, I will but don't count on it. Maybe I will bring my laptop and play while I am at the part... geez, do I sound like a crack-head or what?

I play for pizza because I'm that good.

But once the benjamins turn into the georges, then your a poker player.

You have no idea I had a $350- Day 2 days ago, it was very....umm......inspirating Changed my style some, and no i'm $100 from being back to where I was LOL

I wanted to get to $3K by the end of this month but it looks like 2K is gonna be more doable after that nice 20% of your BR downswing.

I'm so accustomed to the tournament being on Saturday that I thought it was Saturday this week also, not even thinking. One more day to go I guess...

Bty LakeDweller, I'm not mad that my bluff failed. It's that you called my 250 raise into a pot of 300 with an UNDERPAIR! So don't even TRY to understand why I'm so pissed at you. And Wyte, you weren't much help either...

I'm out in 4th. Oh well. Blue was raising too often and too much for the blinds and I took a stand with K-6s... he called with A-9o... which is a little shocking to me since it was for basically his whole stack. I hit my six on the flop, he turned a 9, and it was over.

And that's poker. Oh well. I guess I can go be social now.

Congratulations Lake on the win. You can't complain about good cards like that and well played too.

Good job getting second Wyte. For a little while there, I thought you might be out in 3rd.

It was a very entertaining game for all involved. Good playing with all of you.

what did I do? I told you, a pop up hit me saying "your animtions have been turned off" and I did the fish thing after I turned them back on to make sure they didn't get turned off again. No offense but that all in on the river was just a -EV play, you can't even beat an ace high bluff.

I think lake made a great read on the situation and stuck with it and was rewarded with a full house on the river, the one you re-raised him all in on!

it looked scary, espically on the K J 8 flop, then the 9 hits and he pots again, I knew this was my only shot at it, took it, and I got lucky he had more outs than I wanted him to have!!

You really don't get it Wyte, do you? After I was down to only 11 in chips with blinds at 10/20, you laughed at me, after saying 'Wow'. I understand my bluff didn't go as planned, but I honestly thought he had nothing. He checked on the flop, made a stupid call on the turn, and thats all there is to it. You didn't have to pour salt on the wound by laughing at me in the short stack! So I thank you from the bottom of my heart to know what kind of friend you are to me at the poker table.
