Taj Tournament
This is the second post about my tournament experiences this week in AC. I played in the $300+50 Hi/Lo Stud tournament at the Taj on Tuesday. Yes the juice was $50, 16.6% is excessive! Still I played in it being don’t get a chance to play live Hi/Lo Stud that often. It’s probably my best tournament game. At my first table I just crushed everyone. I had double my chips by level three. (Busted 2 people myself.) Really myself and one other player knew how to properly play Hi/Lo. When the table got broken up the 2 of us left with most of the chips. My next table was made up of a bunch of Hi/Lo Stud regulars. Included in this bunch was Chris Reslock, bracelet winner in Stud this year. I have played Hi/Lo with him before, very solid player. He almost always gets his money in ahead. Well I got to this table and started crushing it also. First hand I played I had a straight on 5th with a low draw. I made the low draw and scooped a huge pot against 4 players. At this point we were down to 70 players, 16 getting paid. I was close to the chip leader of the whole tournament. I had 22,500 chips with at the 600-1200 level. Crazy as it seams I only had enough to get to the river 3 hands. I should have totally tightened up and waited for premium hands. Instead I decided to bully people, whenever I started with big pairs. On one hand I made four nines on 6th street against all in. He had a draw to a low, which got there on the river so we chopped the antes. I put him all in 3 other times, only to double him up all 3! Still had plenty of chips when the coolers started. Three times heads up against the same player I lost huge pots with 2 pairs against straights. Actually this player was just killing me every time we were in a pot together. His low draws always seamed to become straights against me. I sucked it up and tried to come back only to go all in against him. I had 4 to a straight with 3 over cards to his hand. I caught 3 bricks, was ahead until he made a pair on the river. I got knocked out in 45th, was so brutal. Felt like someone punched me in the stomach. I have noticed there is always one person at the table that totally holds over me. Should have avoided him, instead wanted to get my chips back from him. Never make it personal, play your hands in limit poker, not for revenge! Really thought this was to be the tournament to give me that big score I have wanted. Oh well I will be at it again tonight in the $216 Razz on Stars. Look for me there, Screen name AVIGANOLA. Good luck at the tables. Tony

It's so nice for me to have found this blogg of yours, it's so interesting. I read what I could. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blogg is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I POETRY write, among other types of Artistic Texts.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another. However...
Some feel invaded and ofended that I present myself this way in their blogs and rudely insult me back or post a mockery post on me.
Some think I'm playing the smart guy who wants to profit, in my miserable and ridiculous gain with Adsense (go figure!), from and with others curiosity and benevolence.
Some simply ignore me.
Some aknowledge that It's most important we all take notion that there's milions of us bloguing arownd the world and thus vital any kind of awareness such as I believe this my self-introduction card and insert apeal brings in.
May you be one of those open and friendly spirits.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you FOR A SECOND click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn a couple of cents for that: I would feel happy and rewarded (because I realy unemployedly need it!!!) if you did click it FOR A SECOND, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all, however, blogocitizens must unite also by clicking-helping eachother when we know cybermegacorporations profit from our own selfishness regarding to that simple click.
About this I must say, by my own experience, that no one realy cares (maybe a few) about this apeal I make, no one gives a fucking shit about it and you certainly will confirm this rule, but you must believe me: I love to visit new bloggs every day from all over the world, I've learned and seen a lot after more than 10.000 bloggs I've visted in three months. And I will, like Titanic's Kate, keep on and on and on.
Still I believe in my Work and Dreams and thus
I'll keep on apealing and searching
so strong is my will.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
And of apeal.
So you think this is begging and begging is ugly?
So you think this is just copy/paste and ignoring what you've posted?
Think what you like: begging or not this is my form of self-presentation.
You can allways ignore me,
ignore this apeal and give me shit.
But do not bore to come and moralize me back.
