Well it's been a long time since I updated the Blogspot version of my blogs. I see that in 11 Days the Online Blogger Tournament will be happening. I'm contemplating entering this. I am not sure if I'll be able to make it because of work commitments BUT I'm going to start updating my Poker Adventures.
As some of you may know I'm a regular player at Absolute Poker and play here and there at other sites. I've played on at off PokerStars but due to the fact I've never had real money on their site my playing time has been limited. I did get a note that Negreanu has imalgamated "Full Contact" with PokerStars a little while ago. On my latest visit to PokerStars I discovered they seem to have a lot of Freerolls and Events for Canadians. Which means I'll give PokerStars some of my Online Poker Time.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I'll start updating again and if I can manage to keep up the regular posting for the next 10 days I'll apply to be in the Tournament. Hopefully, that'll be enough to satisfy the PokerGods. (tm)
I suspect I would be worth a bit more if I hadn't had to answer the question about working with bad chemicals (IE Second Hand Smoke) I'd be worth a bit more!
I was on Absolute Poker today and I spied a $5 Limit Hold'em Multi Table Tourney with about 8 minutes to start and only 12 players in it. I kept my eye on it until it was about one minute before starting and jumped in the fray with 19 players in. There were 22 by the time it started. So, 3 table tourney and Top 3 finishers got paid. This tourney had Unlimited Re-Buys until the first break and 2 available add-ons during the first break.
I wasn't going to bother with the rebuys until I couldn't catch any cards. Down to my last 10 chips I decided to rebuy. On the IMMEDIATE next hand, after my rebuy, I hit a full house and doubled up. By the break I was in the middle of the pack and noticing some people were doing an add on I decided that would be wise as well.
So I had invested $15 and then my cards got good. I managed to play my way onto the final table. Tightened up my game a lot for the final 5 players. When it got down to 4 I was fortunate to hit a set against the #4 person in chips and sent them packing. I'd made the money. Although I was almost half the 1st and 2nd place chip stacks. Continued tight play and I managed to last all the way to 2nd place.
$55 is the most money I've won in one tourney. I'm stoked.
Can you see the difference? I can't see the difference.
When exactly did this little form of communication change names. I think it's amusing that this fad has garnered the name "Podcast" since it infers you NEED an Ipod in which to listen to it and really all you need is an MP3 Players. But I guess "MP3Cast" isn't quite as CATCHY.
