Borgata Open and the WCOOP…

Hello all…

 

So we’re in the borgata chillin on this saturday night.  I’m currently two tabling online and watchin the Florida vs Miami game.  We ordered a bottle of Grey Goose and are planning on getting thoroughly trashed tonight after a miserable week of tourneys. 

 

I mincashed the Borgata Open Event 1 busting 76th of 1300ish, after having a pretty large stack near the bubbe (90k at 1500/3000/500).  Sigh.  Event 2 was loads of fun, losing AQ to T4 all-in on a QT2 4 board,  (nice overcall on the turn sir) then 99 to 55 all-in on a 678 flop where he called a 3bet shove on the flop. The guy then called for a 4 on the turn and said an audible “woo-hoo!” as he two fisted his hands in the air like Rocky after he climbed the stairs in  Rocky 1.  Seriously. 

 

The $1k and $1.5k sucked, Brent (bhanks11) lasted 11 hours in the 1k and I lasted 9, but no cashes.  Today I busted the 1.5k after never really getting anything going.  Online has been pretty lousy lately too (see the HH at the bottom) but that’s to be expected playing MTTs for a living.  The variance can drive a person insane, but I’ve started to get used to it and have learned to laugh off the bad beats more.  Taking a bad beat usually means you played well, so in the longrun, its going to make you money.

 

I’m hoping I get to play the 10k WCOOP tomorrow and will definately be in the $500 3mil. I had to blind out of the WCOOP Event 1 cause I was still in the 1k downstairs, so I’m looking forward to paying my 1st event.  I’ve only played 1 or 2 other WCOOPs (a random 1k last year and maybe one more).

 

Anyways, I took a horrible beat in the 100r on FTP today after I got back to the room from the 1.5k.  This pot was to be 3 of 32.  First was 26k.
