103 fever is worse than getting beat with a 1 outer

I have not posted is a while, mostly because I was knocking on death's door. I went four days without eating or sleeping. It was miserable. It has been two weeks now, and I still have symptoms. I think I caught this at the poker tournament I played at two weeks ago. Anyway, on days that I was feeling a little better, I would drug it up, and try to play a little poker.

Last Sunday I played in a large Holdem tournament which was awarding a trip to Las Vegas and entry fee to a $500 tournament. I didn't make it too far, but played in the secondary tournament which was Omaha. We stopped playing when we got down to 3 players, since the top 3 players all won entry into the monthly $5000 tournament. This is my second certificate I won for the month in Omaha, so I will start the monthly tournament with an extra $1000 chips.

Last Wednesday, I played in another Holdem tournament, and took first, winning my first entry into the monthly Holdem tournament. I was Mr Patience until I got a nice run of cards late in the tournament. Then I became Mr Bully. I pretended to still be on my run of cards, and everyone believed me.

I played in another Holdem tournament on Friday, but lost all my chips sending me to the Omaha tournament when I was dealt AT and the flop came A82. I got all my chips in against a guy who slow played AA. I played solid PLO, and managed to win another cert, which will give me another $1000 at the monthly. I am getting fairly good at PLO, but know that things can be quite different when I play more with people who know what they are doing.

Last night I played in the Railbird freeroll on Full Tilt. There were close to 800 players, and I came in 6th place. I will go into more details about this tournament in another entry.

This looks like a busy week for me. Finish my federal taxes tonight, dinner date tomorrow, movie date Wednesday, poker on Thursday, pool league on Friday, Omaha Hi Lo game on Saturday after I finish my state taxes, PLO tournament on Sunday.
