Chopped up an air force charity tournament
Yea, so their was an air force charity tournament at the bar I normally play monday night bar poker. The original style was a shootout, where the top 2 people from the nine tables would make a final 2 tables. They ended up consolidating down to 6 tables, and taking the top 3, from each to make the final 2 tables. tickets were 20 dollars, with 20 dollar unlimited rebuy first hour (only if you were KO'd), and a single stack add on optional after the rebuy period. I was unaware of all this. I only had my original buy. There was about 80 people there and air force volunteer dealers.
45 min blinds!, i was excited for this, cause i knew i could just sit back and let idiots be idiots, and cruise to the top 3 @ my table. this plan didnt pan out exactly... I ended up being very active and accumulating chips early. Lucky I did to compensate for rebuy and add ons. We were even stacked after the hour, and then comes my 1 lucky sick hand for the night. I raise KK 3x the blind mp, 6 or 7 handed, and dumb bytch calls j9 off in the small blind. FLOP J9x. she bets, i raise, she goes all in, i call. TURN J, river K. I stood up and screamed! anyways, smooth sailing after that. I KO'd the 4th person @ our table AA<TT all in pre. Final two tables, i was just patient, adn the only move i made was all in, in good spots, to steal the blinds. this managed to get me to survive til final 2.
Funny thing is my mom called me earlier in the game and asked where i was... I told her a charity game, first place was a ipad mini 64 GB (yea the 650$ one), second was 100 dollar best buy giftcard. My family in general DOES NOT understand the variance of poker, and thinks that i am just gonna win every game that i play no sweat (event though, every live game i do play, I DO seem to win, or do very well in). Anyways, she says, "OK, WHEN you win the ipad, i wanna buy it off you." This was my plan anyway, to sell it. so I was happy to have a buyer already
Anyway, i get HU with a bar poker buddy of mine, and we make a deal to chop 1st n second evenly, drive to my mom's house n sell her the ipad for $500. We got that deal done. He and I were both only in the tournament for 1 BI. Some people were in it for 60... LOL. Anyways, it was a very good night. My mom also bought my 50 dollar best buy gift card @ 1:1, so 20 dollars, made me 300 last night. It was great
