It’s mighty chilly out, I’m clad in a fiendishly fashionable stripy-new-dressing-gown and silly-Santa-hat combo (thank you Mum for posting that to me!!) and the radiators are cranked up.
Speaking of heaters...The unremitting upswing soars ever skyward, another $2k+ of profit amassed last night – yes I was committed [sad?] enough to grind on Xmas Eve – courtesy of a runner-up finish in Absolute Poker’s $15K Gtd rebuy.
Going into heads-up play I had a 2:1 chip deficit, but felt I had the edge skill-wise, and a decent shot at nailing the $4.3k first prize.
My luck ran out when I shipped 26bb with pocket Sevens over a button-raise, my foe snap-called with K-Qs, and the board rolled out an unfavourable 3-Q-2-K-5.
I can’t grumble too much (bah humbug) as I spiked a gutshot on the final table, scooping a sizeable pot when my opponent shoved into my turned straight with Q-T versus my Q-8 on a J-9-5-T board, although I think I was unlucky to be drawing so thin on the flop.
You can’t win ’em all, but it makes for a cool stocking filler, this latest score ramping up my week’s profits up to around $15,000. A sick, sick week, and without question one of the highlights of my poker career!
Merry Christmas, and many thanks to THEKID_88, Philgreen111, ThundrXpress, TheOldBloke, DDB, BigAl37 et al, for your moral support – oh and the odd poker tip – over 2010. :)
