A little over a week ago I was playing in a NL Skill League Freeroll and came in 3rd place.
(Some of you may know where this is, but I will refrain from naming it. I usually like to play in one of their H.O.R.S.E. games on Sundays.)

Only 134 players in this freeroll that lasted 3 1/2 hours.

My turning point in this NL game;

I had just knocked out a player with trip kings two hands earlier.
Ante is 300 and Blinds are 1,000/2,000 and I have about 40,300 in chips or the big stack at this time.
Now, sitting in the SB I have a pair of 4's in my hand pre-flop and make a double bet of 4,000. BB calls and UTG raises to 8,000. The next two players call and the rest fold to me and I call.

The Flop comes; K-J-4.
I forgot what the suits were, I just knew that nobody could get a flush from the flop, so I make a pot bet.
BB folds and UTG sits for about a half a minute and then goes all-in.
The two players beside UTG have slightly larger stacks and call.
I figure at this time, someone else must have gotten their trips.

I raise all-in, if I lose I will still have 10,000 chips, and the two players after UTG call with an all-in.

The Turn comes; 8
The River comes; 4

The three players after me Muck.
Hot dang, I caught a 4 of a kind and just knocked out 3 more players!

One hand later was the 2nd Break and I sat in second place with 100,000+ chips.


I had a bad beat at the final table with 4 players left in the tourney.
Caught a 3 of kind on the turn, went all in and was taken down by a flush with the river card.
After that I had less than a thousand chips, so went all in with the next hand and out in 3rd place.
The heads-up play lasted about five minutes after that.
I would have loved to have made the heads-up play. I like to make it last as long as it can, tire the other player out and win the tourney.

What? So now I'm no one?

I've been called "somebody" and a few other colorful metaphors, but no one?

Ok. Maybe I have been called that before...

I'll be waiting for your post, catwoman.

p.s. I had meant to put there were 3 players left at the final table, up above. Typographical error on my part.

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEE''

LMAOOOOOOO

OK Dyno man,...lolll

Here is my fine story..

Went to Foxwoods Casino a few years ago.....was my first time going to a real casino...and i was excited!!!!!.....was gonna leave that place a rich woman do't ya know! lollll

Anyway, i was a little intimidated by the size to the place, and all the people running around and sounds and machines, so i didn't want to get lost so i picked one machine to play and stayed there.....Well it happened to be a video poker machine...which i never play....i am a slot lover! lollll

But, the place was packed and i didn't want to get lost...lol..so i stayed with the poker machine.

I played and played, for a couple of hours on 50$ ...so that was cool...but i was upset that every time i thought i won, i ended up losing!!...??

Could not figure out why i lost on the hands i was sure i would win.....

Well...lolll...come to find out, at the end of my money, it seems that when playing video poker, there are HOLD buttons?ll......and this buttons, hold the cards that you DO want to keep.....i played all night, thinking that they were holding the cards that i DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP!!!!!!!!!

LMAOOOOOOOO

HOW STUPID AM I?
