Friday night donkament d00minated by the hammer

Well, well….not much poker today…although in the end it was a good three and a half hours. I started off with some shorthanded and HU action on Pokerstars. I busted out fourth in the shorthanded SnG when a donk called my all-in dominated (AQ vs A8) and rivered the three outer. I won the HU match and it was almost time for Kat‘s friday night blogger donkament.

…and a donkament it was….crazy…crazy action…a record of 170 rebuys!!!

I didn’t take notes, so most hands are a blur. I got some hands, I sucked out a few times and I got sucked out on some times. The biggest accomplishment was playing fearless poker, even when the rebuy period ended, dropping about 10 hammers and some velvet hammers in the process, raising and reraising with them like crazy from any position…all too fitting my exit involved the hammer again….although this time Waffles held it and outflopped my treys…good fun…with his insane stack of over 70k he should be able to take it down tonight…let’s see if that really happens…I’m going to catch some sleep now…5:29am…final table is underway…but I’m too tired to rail and I really need the sleep…the next live (home) game is tomorrow…errm later today…nn and gg…

After a pretty rough week of uncertainty (university stuff, still not completely sorted out), I jumped back into poker action today.

Just a little shorthanded SnG action and some headsup. Took down the first shorthanded SnG, took 6th in the second one (always fun to see some call you all the way with K2 s00ted catching a gutter ball at the end). Took down the headsup SnG after withstanding the urge to jump into the trash-talk-chat my opponent started…always fun to let the cards speak…especially if your opponent is so occupied with chatting (or monologuing) that he’s bluffing into the nuts like crazy, time and time again.

So…all in all a nice little session…hopefully a little more poker soonish…once the university stuff is sorted out…wish me luck…
