Swongs r 1 thing.
The last few days have been a rollercoaster in variance. I got crushed Saturday and dropped 7 buyins playing 6 max no limit cash games in less than 2000 hands to some ridiculous coolers and suck outs and Sunday’s tournaments didn’t go much better. I slept in and missed the 1.25 Million Sunday Warm Up but woke up in time to donate $215 to the the Sunday Million prize pool which was more than 2.5 Million dollars. I rounded out my session with a $22 1 rebuy & 1 addon tournament but I busted out in the money with 60ish players left out of 1200 starters and never managed to get anything going in FTOPs #24 and was eliminated early on with Ace King of Spades vs Ace King of Hearts all in preflop.
In other random poker news:
The team I’m on in the 2+2 Tournament Leader Board challenge is currently in 1st place. I’m hoping for a few more decent scores to contribute before the contest ends Friday. Sadly my best score so far is only a 180 man Sit and Go win.
Also, a few friends and I have been discussing renting a house for a portion of this summer in Vegas during the World Series of Poker and it looks like that is almost sorted out. The place we’ve decided on is awesome and will be a huge upgrade over being stuck in a tiny hotel room for 2-3 weeks at a time.
This week also was the debut of new seaons of two of my favorite reality shows: Survivor and The Amazing Race. The first episodes of both were pretty good. On Survivor they had a “fake” elimination vote before the game even started which was interesting as nobody knew anything about each other except for first impressions. Jeff Probst has a blog about the first episode here.
The Amazing Race should be good as well. They have usual team combinations of Brother & Sister, Random Blonde Girls ( Ex NFL Cheerleaders this time) as well as some new ones. There is a team of “Little People” ( is that PC? ), A mother and her deaf Son, and a Father & Son Team of movie Writers. The son is Mike White who in his introduction mentioned he wrote “School of Rock“. Not suprisingly, he didn’t mention that he also wrote “Nacho Libre“.
Here is a Cold Play song that doesn’t suck. This brings the grand total of there songs I can stand to 2 or 3.
