Finally, I've finished my economics essay WOOHOO! A big sigh of relief. The great thing is, I've handed it in a day before the deadline. Went to the poker club 'Gutshot' in EC1 last Thursday, my 1st time there. The place is only 5 minutes walk away from the City uni campus which is brilliant. I entered only my 2nd live tournament, a £5 buy-in. The game was omaha pot limit. We were allowed 2 re-buys, so I started with £10, then got another £5 just before the re buy period finished. There were 30 players to start with, and after an hour, I found myself on the final table of 10 players. I had built up a healthy chip stack, so when the guy next to me went all in and beat me on the river with only 2 outs remaining, I wasnt badly affected.
One by one, players dropped out and I was in the top 5, so I was guaranteed some money back. But I didn't expect to go as far as heads up, and in the end, we decided to split the money. So I paid £15, and got back £90 for finishing joint 1st!! Not bad for a first time, beginner's luck maybe.
Tomorrow's the last day of term, don't know what I'm going to do during the holidays. No doubt there will be a few poker sessions with Tony and Howard, and any other Habs guys who want to lose their money to me.
nice going J Sris!
ReplyDeleteI went all in on $1/$2 earlier with set of 10s on flop, rival had hole AA. And of course river was an A. Argh....back to square one!
