I know...I know....not in Vegas yet,so why do a blog about a goofy Pokerstars tourney?
Well I am doing it because I WON...that's why.
Thought I would try and kick start my positive thinking by playing an internet tourney before I leave for vacation.
Had to dodge some major lunacy by a couple of these clowns(of course I mean that in a nice way...lol).
As you can see,I did not play many hands and actually saved my game by folding QQ pre flop due to some outrageous betting and raising and reraising. Turns out the other 3 players had the following hands: A-K;A-10 AND QQ!!! So I was going to be drawing dead no matter what as another player also had QQ. Yikes...a semi brilliant play on my part! Turns out the A-10 won when the guy hit 10-10-rag on the flop! Sick,but I didn't care.
Happy to have dodged a huge bullet there and was rewarded by the eventual win.
No bad beats and I won my races.
A nice pre start to my trip.
