Another Runner Up
Posted on November 5, 2005
Another 2nd place finish in a $50+$5 on Party Poker. Those are my new favorite tournaments. The buyin attracts a little better crowd of poker players and the size seems to work well for my game. This one had 530 people and paid $3975 for 2nd place! (Click the photo for a larger view)
I didn’t get much to play throughout the tournament, so I was careful to pick my spots. AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, and AQ were a combined 22 for 23 which always helps! I was under the average chip stack during the entire tournament and even survived a big storm that rolled through the area. Lights were flickering, but my power stayed on. The player I wanted to get heads up against came through. He had me out chipped about 3-1, but I was confident I could pick a few spots and take him. I had him with 33 against K9, but a 9 on the flop ended it. All you can do is go in with the best hand in a situation like that. Once of these days I’ll win one of these tournaments, but I’m not going to complain about taking the 2nd place prize money. This surpasses the 2nd place a couple of weeks ago for my biggest cash to date.

You make me sick.
Great results, MtDew! Congratulations!
Good for you BUD!
Excellent work!
Too cool!
Nice job!
Nice stuff. YOu know, a long time before I started the blog I searched online for how to do chip tricks. I found a great site. Now all this time later, I’m starting to think/realize that it was your site all along. By the way, your instructions are great, but they don’t work well with tiny circus-freak hands. Oh well. I can probably shuffle dimes now, though.
