OK, this is all about the takedown, so I will tell. Small number of buy-ins, I pay knowing that the game starts at 10pm EST - kids bedtime and about 30 minutes before their mom comes home and I head home. I stay on long enough to see stockrock at the table. I close the Beach, going on AF. Kids in bed, 20 month old refuses to stay there, Tami messages me with "Be nice and calm, he can tell you are upset." I lay down with him. 10:45 - boys' mom comes home, I leave. I get to the computer, get logged in at 10:55 , I have $600 left, blinds are going to start killing me. 5 minutes later, at the break, I have $1900. Shortly after break, Final table, I am the short stack. I make a move with pocket 7s, hit trips on the flop. I take a little money from 4 players. Fighting back, I get a YM from web telling me to quit picking on people's blinds while I am short stack. I message back, when I won't do it. I will own this FT. He laughs. I proceed to start knocking out the others sitting around me. Money line of 3 players - me, kc1121, ohiogirlie. I now have $30000 of the $36000 chips. First goes kc when again pocket 7s hit a set on the flop for me, and his 2 pair do not materialize into a FH. Heads up with OG, we pass blinds back and forth. She catches a great hand and I call with a weak one. Then she has another good hand and I pass over more chips. It is $19000 to $17000. Web in YM - she is gonna beat you. I proceed to hold out, catch an A with a better kicker than she had and close out the game. So from $600 to Tournament winner and $12 in payout. Good game to everyone involved. Nice job by all. Thank you to Tami and Stacy for the support. |

Final hand: You had pkt 5's. I had pkt 3's (I should have known 3's were gonna suck). Great game, man. You played very well. |

You are right, just remembered that it was 3s versus 5s on the phone with Tami. Well played last hour for everyone. |

Great job Kong and OG - I was the one that got these tournies put in.
I think they'll get better as more players get in them. Last night I played a $2+.20, finished in 4th and 3 got payed, was short stacked the whole time until the final hand when my a 5 got busted by QJ. Hopefully I can try another one of these soon, have to get a bit more freeroll money before playing another.

Very nicely done Kong, I love to see the short stack come back and win it all. Keep listening to Tami, she gives good advice! MMgirly |
