so...on Sunday night, I played in the second Poker Journal Keepers tournament on Planet Poker. Thanks to Felicia for putting this together!
There were 24 of us playing, and I have to say, everyone's game has gotten better since the WBT II last month!
I made it to the final table, and busted out in 10th. I was happy with my play...there is only one hand that I felt was memorable, though:
Right after the the thrid table was dropped, I found myself at a table with Roy Cooke, Chris Halverson, Pauly, hdouble, Paul Burbon, gpoker, Dontpokeme and thefatguy! I got dealt pocket kings in the SB (75). gpoker raises to 300, in late position with no bets, thefatguy reraises to 600 on the button, and I call.
The flop brings 5h 9h 6d. I bet 300, gpoker raises to 600, tfg goes all in with 1400. I call and gpoker folds. I've got him on a pair, maybe queens.
The showdown: The Turn: Qs. Oh Shit! No Turning back now. The River: Ad. Hrmmm...if he had the pocket rockets he would have beaten me anyway.
He turns over jacks! He's out in 19th, and I double up.
I managed to go shortstacked shortly after that, and just played defense until I was just about blinded out.
