sloshr 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I just had my biggest win last night/this morning. I won the mini-series event at the Bike! The only problem is I am supposed to be at work in a few hours. Hopefully my boss will let me take the day off so i can sleep then celebrate. I came to the final table in 2nd chip position and got some good hands early, so I raised and noticed that nobody wanted to gamble. The chip leader was on my right and was playing tight to avoid playing with me, so I started raising around half the hands and only a few times did people raise me back. It's a great feeling having almost everyone at the table fearing you. We made a deal with 4 players left and I had more than twice as many chips as anyone else. The amazing thing is that I only sucked out once the whole tournament. Every other time, i either got the money in with the best hand, lost the pot, or both. Link to post Share on other sites

sloshr 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 It was better than rocks & rings. I'd say it was a 1.4! And who here wouldn't accept a deal of more than 3/4 of 1st with huge blinds and 4 players left (other than DN), no matter how big their chip lead. It was more of everyone else, who was about even, trying to lock up a good payday, rather than the crap they give 4th (around $2500). Link to post Share on other sites

sloshr 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Just a shameless bump so that my daytime friends don't miss this thread. I'm finally awake after taking a well deserved day off work, and it still feels great. Since I'm not at work today, I might join you guys for the Negreanu open if i have time.

Kendren 1 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Nice job, sloshr. What was the buy-in? Link to post Share on other sites
sloshr 0 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Buy in was $150 + 25. No rebuys. Not a bad investment.Anyway, looks like I won't be able to make the Negreanu open tonight anyway, since my friends want to go out to celebrate tonight. I just hope I am alive enough to get back to work tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
