GRRRRRR . . . Damn . . . Woohoo
A post in three parts here as you might guess by the title.
Although I don`t usually bother with freerolls very often these days there was a pretty good one at Rounders tonight. It was being held at Bodog and the top three places paid T$109. I logged into chat at Rounders and got the password then logged into Bodog where I spent a frustrating twenty minutes trying to register for the tourney. Unfortunately their stupid software refused to let me register. I`ve often had to try multiple times to register there for password protected tourneys but I`ve never been unable to get into one before it closed. Unamused to say the least I sent them an e-mail expressing my displeasure.
After that debacle I wasn`t going to bother playing anywhere else. However three hours later and still wide awake I decided I`d play a sng at Vegas. I was pretty card dead but took my chances at the right time to make it to the final four. Unfortunately I bubbled when my all-in with 33 from the button ran into JJ.
I`d also registered for a $5 HORSE tourney at Vegas and for quite a while it looked like my ill fortune was going to continue. By level five, the 7 stud 8b round I was heading for an early exit and had just 133 chips left, with 54 players remaining. I pushed them in with 2-3-7 and made my low hand by 5th street. On 7th street I hit the wheel but only ended up with half of the main pot when another player made a full house. Nonetheless it gave me some hope and from there I was able to slowly claw my way back and eventually finish in the money in 6th place. Not a win but definitely a result given the way the tourney started. The funny thing was two of the other players who made the final table had also been extremely short-stacked at some point in the tourney. One had been down to 150 chips, the other down to 450. Definitely proves the old adage about a chip and a chair.

I don't know what happened with Bodog. I used to play great there, but not anymore.
Lost most of my bankroll there play $1/2 NL when I hit my set of 9's on the flop. I got a guy with K-K to go all in and I had him ... until he rivered a K. One guy mentioned that he had the other K, so it was a true one-outer.
Damm!! I read that entire thread hoping to here a story about Woohoo Sue lol. What a letdowwn Mouse.
lol sorry Murry, maybe next time.
