fuck yeah

Last night's poker tournament didn't end up being as big as I expected, eight people ended up playing with a $25 buy in. I got shit for cards until it counted, stole a couple pots and lost quite a few, but hung in there. The last 5 or 6 of my hands were golden, right when it counted, and I played them perfectly getting people to go all-in against me. There was an older guy who acted like he was the poker pro at the table and I let him since he'd never played against me. I think he figured I was just some dumb rock'n'roller that didn't know how to play, I showed him how wrong that assumption was as I trapped him in to a big hand and got him to go all in when I had trips Aces. I ended up heads up against Pete with a 5 to 1 advantage at the end. Pete hadn't ever played heads up or watched anyone play it, it's totally different than normal poker, especially when someone has a huge chip advantage and the blinds are hight. He probably should have gone all in on every hand at that point hoping to win 3 or 4 in a row and have a chance, but instead he tried to wait for a good hand. The blinds ate up his stack and he didn't go all in until he had to at the end, and I won that hand easily. Yay, $150. It's only the second tournament I've won, so I got a huge rush from it. Gawd I'm a geek.

Hilarious
