Biggest Score of My Life

Posted at March 2, 2008

I just had the biggest gambling score of my life tonight. It had nothing to do with poker.

Michael and I drove to Louisiana to play craps. I bought in for $4,000. After playing for about eight hours, I left with $35,000!!

If I believed in karma, it’d be easy to say that this probably happened since I pledged to donate 5% of my March gambling winnings to charity. :)

Such a sick night…

Going to sleep for a couple hours before playing the Sunday tournaments. I’ll update this post later with the results from that. (Maybe).

I’ll have to keep reminding myself I won $31,000 playing craps last night, because today was a pretty heartbreaking day of poker.

* I played a $215 satellite to the Irish Open on Bodog. Forty-five entrants, top two win a $9k package. With three left, I had KQ lose to Q2 all-in preflop. No doubt the sickest hand of my life. That holds, I’m in Dublin in two weeks.

* I had twice the average stack in the Bodog $100k with 175 left. Kings ran into Aces by the only guy at the table who could cover me.

* Other stuff no one cares to read…

* Oh… also, I finished 28th in the Sunday Warm-Up. I had some pretty sick hands deep in that (like set < flush draw to be chipleader with 50 left, AK < colson's K2 when the turn and river come 2 and 2). Like a couple weeks ago, I managed to build up to a million chips and promptly get dealt nothing while the blinds ate my ass up.

I’m not sure I recall a more frustrating day of poker that ended in a win ($500 to be precise) in my life. Then again, I have shit for a memory, so I’m sure there’s been worse. Okay… no there hasn’t.

WOOHOO!
