OMG
I`m getting hassled to write something. My reader says he`s going to cancel his subscription if I don`t and as it`s been over a month since I posted now seems like a good time. But what to write that is the question? I actually have some notes from some ring games and a few hand histories saved that might be worth commenting on but for now I`ll just throw in a few details about the Forum Team League.
It`s the start of week 4 tonight and I`m pleased to say that we got off to a flying start and before tonights games we have a nice 240 point lead on the second place team Aces Up. We owe a lot of those points to Ramster who has been on fire so far this season finishing as follows in his first four games - 3rd/20, 4th/40, 3rd/20, 2nd/40. Before the season had really started we were joking amongst ourselves about who was going to score the most points and Ram said he was. As he only plays once or twice a week we said he had no chance. Not sure if that`s what fired him up, but if so we`ll have to do it more often.
Our new recruit Zackelwahn has proven a sound aquisition. He`s scored solid points in the 10 seaters and won his first 40 seat MTT with a display of power poker and a few "Zack Attacks". He`s also won himself a seat at this years WSOP Main Event although I`m not sure which site he won it on.
Even our new spare Novi got off to a flyer winning her first 10 seat Omaha game and topping it off by winning the 5x5.
My own season has been a bit up and down. A couple of disappointing results in the 10seaters and the first couple of 40 seaters. However I`m pleased to report I seem to have broken the 40MTT curse with Sundays Omaha game. I started well and took the chip lead when I eliminated two players, Chipraker420 and unfortunately my own captain jazzer32. Nothing we could do there, he was trying to make a play as a shortish stack and Chip called. With the nutflush draw I had to call and it hit on the river. Luckily Chip had a lower flush and called off his stack. From there it was a bit of a rollercoaster, my stack went up and down but I was feeling good and by the final table with 5 or 6 players left I was back in front with a sizeable chip lead. The game was mine for the taking and if I`d taken a decision to call a shortish stack I probably would have won. As it was he bluffed me off a pot and went on a rampage after that accumulating a huge stack by the time we were HU. I was left with no choice but to gamble and unfortunately it didn`t go in my favour and I had to settle for 2nd.
Although I was really pleased to get to the final table and thought I played really well I was sorely disappointed to come 2nd. I really should have won and hopefully it will be a lesson learned for the future.
Anyway that`s about all for now. Knowing me I`ll be back on later to post again. It seems to work that way. Once I`ve finally dragged myself over here to post after a long break I get back into the swing of things pretty quick so maybe I`ll dig out those hand histories or something.
I`m going to wrap it up by going back to those FTL points and our individual scores. If my maths is correct at present I`m leading the way with 320pts, Ram is 2nd with 270pts and Jazzer is 3rd with 215. With the 10 seat PLHE tonight I`ll be looking to expand that lead by as much as possible.
