Say Hello To My Little Friend

Now you can actually see Private Donut take your chips, rather than my silly monkey. Check out Donkavatars.

MOOKIE!

This post is way over due, but here goes anyway.

My buddy Goat told be about the BBT and all the goodness that goes with it. I finally found some time to join him for a game, my first blogger tourney ever. I spent the first couple of hours staying at roughly the avg stack size, nothing extraordinary happened. I saw some great cards, but couldn't get involved in a big pot. Most notably I managed to double up a few times when I needed to most, I sucessfully dodged a pair of bullets when I folded pre-flop in a pot that I contemplated getting into because my stack was hurting and my cards were decent. It appears that I played fairly well, because after 2.5 hours, I'm told that I'm in the money and sitting on a reasonable stack. Woohoo! An hour later we're at the final table and I'm in 7th place. Goat calls me a lucksack, call it what you will, but I'm at the FINAL TABLE.


To this point I hadn't managed to collect a bounty AT ALL! Then I got lucky against Waffles. It was the right move by both of us, he gives a much better break down of the hand than I could, so read his post. Here's how the hand ended up though.


Waffles was great and didn't berate me much for the hand.

My run ended when I limped, yes limped into a 3-way pot with A9. The flop couldn't have been prettier. I raised 1/2 pot to be called by PirateLawyer and a fold by TuscaloosaJohn. The turn was even better, pairing my Aces I raised another 1/2 to be pushed back by PL. I raised all in to be happily called (as you can see below).

So, per the advice given by Shrike...

"I will not go broke in a limped pot."
"I will not go broke in a limped pot."

Thanks Mookie for putting this tourney on. I certainly plan to play again!

Tribute

A tribute to:
Franklin Donut, Private Biscuit, Lieutenant McMuffin, Commander Pop N' Fresh (With Golden, Flakey crust!), Major Cinnamon Buns (Contains buttery goodness.), Corporal Croissandwich, and Admiral Buttercrust.

Guess what: they already have a color for lightish red. You know what it's called? Pink.

Yeah, so I named the blog after a great machinima Red vs. Blue. If you're inclined to read the episodes full transcript, you can check it out here.

Anyway, the real reason for this blog is to pimp the Full Tilt BBT3 tournament and to put their banner on my blog for a free spot in an upcoming freeroll. I don't expect to win, but I enjoy playing and you never know. Besides, it'll give me a chance to play with my buddy Goat, whom I haven't had the chance to play with in a while.

As for the blog, who knows, maybe I'll update it from time to time.
