Show Me The Money
Posted on July 4, 2005
Just took 3rd place in a $25,000 guaranteed NLHE tournament on Noble Poker for a cool $2,500 (screenshot). I don’t know if I’m actually getting better at no-limit or that the players at Noble are that bad. This is two final tables I’ve made there in the last few weeks.
I should have took at least 2nd place because I was the chip leader for almost the entire time once we hit about 14 players. Once we got to the money, it was almost impossible to bust anyone. The short stacks could not lose a hand, no matter how bad their odds. This continued when I needed it to go the other way. We’re down to the final three and one player has less than 1/3 the chips of 2nd place. We couldn’t get rid of the guy and then I had a few chances. My Q♣5♣ against his 9♣7♣ and sure enough, he goes runner-runner for a straight. Then I have Q♠8♠ against his pocket sixes and I don’t get any help. This put me in 3rd place. I could have easily had a 2-1 advantage on the 2nd place guy going to heads up. Then a hand or two later my Mrs. Slick runs into Big Slick and I’m out. I do have to say it was a lot of fun to play.
I’m learning a lot about no-limit lately. It’s just so much more fun than the grind of limit. I guess I’ll be taking another big payday from the bankroll after this win!

I agree. It was crazy. I’ll bet that less than 5% of hands throughout the entire tournament went to a showdown and most of those were when someone was all-in.
Wow, very nice. I might try Noble Poker out.
