Big Game Victory
I should feel guilty for my lack of posts, but it would feel even more wrong if I didn't post after my Big Game win...

Free Rolling Forever at Bodog
Not quite but close enough. Earlier this week I donked out of the Bodog Blogger II, but eeked out a 3rd place in their November 9 special. Thanks for the T$109 bonus and about 3x more cash than my first in the Blogger game a couple weeks ago. Tonight I came in second in the Blogger game adding to my pile of T$ which should be enough to cover the rest of the Blogger Tourney.
I had a 2-1 chip advantage heads up and it seemed as if Salex77 wanted to flip for it early on. Call it aggression or short stack strategy, I prefer small pot poker heads up with small blinds and eventually shifted the game to what I liked. It took about 30 minutes for me to chip him down to 20k and a 4-1 advantage for me. We were heads up for quite a while, at least 3 levels. The two important hands where we got it all in preflop were both Asian Jews (CK would be proud!). AJ vs T9 and he doubles up gaining a slight chip advantage. With the stacks about even we get it all in preflop AJ vs AT and a Jacob on the turn gives him a straight. Good game Salex!

If you were a superhero, what would your special power be?
Mine would be getting knocked out first in home games that I should crush. Tonight was the HPT live game hosted by a good friend of mine. 20 players, 2 tables and for the third time in a row I go out as the gigli. I don't know (or really care) how any of the action went after being exiled to the side game. Always a bridesmaid Byron came in second, and I believe PokahDave came in fourth - a nice showing for the Boston Bloggers.
In any group of friends there is always someone who stirs the pot. Much like Manny being Manny, Wonka was being Wonka. The quote of the night comes from Air Force Steve when he said to Wonka:
"If you were a superhero, agitation would be your special power..."
Byron and Dave did nearly talk me into making the trip to Vegas in December. I'll check my bankroll and might just see everyone this year.
