It's 3 AM in Thailand and this is the latest I've stayed up since coming back in the country. But I have a good reason -- I didn't want to go to sleep until PokerStars "calculated" the BOP scores for this past week because as of early afternoon, I was in third place and in line to win $400.
Okay, so maybe that's not a good reason. I could easily go to bed and check when I woke up in the morning. But what's the fun in that? Staying up late, watching baseball, and grinding games while sweating the leaderboard? Now that's fun.
Actually, the games I planned on playing weren't very good. I still played a few though, unsuccessfully attempting to game select. But because I only had half the amount of my normal tables up, I decided to add a MTT. A little $5 Rush Rebuy on FullTilt caught my eye and I immediately started chipping up. There are definitely some different strategies in Rush MTTs compared to regular games, enough to warrant a video replay for PokerVT which I'll make sometime tomorrow.
Made the final table in fourth place and I'm happy to report that despite a few setbacks at the final table, I was able to take it down. Weeeeee!
Unfortunately Stars has yet to post the updated scores so, well, I'm in the same predicament I was in earlier. Except now I'm $1,200 richer.
Update: Ship!!!!!! Got 3rd in Neptune and 24th in Earth.
ReplyDeleteMan -- it is so difficult to read these posts from people outside the USA who can still play on PokerStars and Full Tilt. Maybe someday ...
