Last week I played in a $500 guaranteed HORSE tournament that I qualified for in a freeroll on Bugsy's Club. 119 players started, and I came in third.
The same day, I played in a private $350 freeroll on FullTilt, I was very short stacked when I got to the final table. In fact, only one other player had less than me, and with blinds at 2500/5000 and antes of 600, my 35,207 chips was quite difficult to play with.
I managed to build up a decent chip stack, roughly 150k, when I ran into this hand and got knocked out in 6th place.
I played in another freeroll last week and came in 3rd. This gave me enough in my G2G account to buy into the Deathmatch that was three days later.
Three days later (yesterday) I played in four tournaments at the same time. I have five montiors, so I had plenty of room, but I felt like my head was on a swivel and could not keep up. The first one was the OFC, a $2500 freeroll with a lot of players. The seconds was the Deathmatch, which only had 59 players. The third was a private freeroll on CarbonPoker with 76 players, and the last was another private freeroll with 74 players on LiveForTheFlop. I have never played four tournaments at the same time before, and never want to again.
I decided to play very aggressive in the three freerolls and if I get busted out of one of them, I would concentrate on the other three. Well, early on, I busted out of the OFC. I played well in the other three, and at one point, was at the final table of all three. At the same time, I was having a chat session with some people to determine which Forum I was playing for in the Deathmatch. It was kinda nuts. Finally, I got knocked out of the CarbonPoker tournament in third.
This left me with two tournaments left. I finally found the email confirmation that showed which forum I had signed up for in the Deathmatch, so that was another thing I didn't have to distract me from my poker playing. Finally, I won the freeroll at LiveForTheFlop.
(Glacier is the name of my dog, but he was tired, so I played for him)
This left me with only the Deathmatch, the only non-freeroll, and with $500 added to the prize pool. I played well the whole time, rarely took any chances, and found myself with a nice chip stack at the final table. Unfortunately, the blinds were getting very high, and any time the blinds went by you, you seemed to be low on chips and had to make a move. I managed to get down to heads up, and that is when the luck hit me. I bad beated my opponent on one hand, and then on the final hand, she seemed to make a desperate allin move, and since I had a big chip lead and could afford the gamble, called with an iside straight draw. It was ugly to see her with top pair and top kicker, and my inside straight draw get filled on the turn, giving me the win.
This win gave the forum I signed up with to get a $300 freeroll, so hopefully I can cash in that one as well and keep my hot streak alive.
