I think the starting field was somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,100 players .. she came and got me when it was down to about half of that and she was looooooooooooow stacked ... I'm a better short stack player than she is so I took over for a while and rebuilt her stack for her and got her back in .. not sure exactly what spot she ended up in but it was in the 700's I believe she said. We outlasted Mike Matusow at least :-) He was at our "table" for a while and I got to play a couple of hands with him before he got booted out of the tournament.

It's been dry on the big tourney front here of late ... I keep playing smaller ones, up to 90 folks both online as well as the casino and have done real well there but it just ain't enough of a price pool to really have an impact. I did take 2nd at the Casino last Friday .. and between that, the cash game I played after the tourney was over and well, a couple of hours at the blackjack table I cleared $5,700-$5,800 dollars after tipping the poker dealers (I always do at tourneys if I make good bank) ... I can't say I complain ... I had a VERY good day .. I wish they were all that good income wise :-)

 

Better luck next time to your wife, and congrats to you on your "Haul". Guess that rear window is paid off now!

 

Thanks, she already has had better luck. It wasn't no $300,000 pay day but she has taken a couple of grand out of people and casino's in the last 10 days-2 weeks ..

Window? It was paid off last Monday or Tuesday if I recall correctly LOL! Of course curtesy of Full Tilt Poker and their tournaments :-) Hopefully I'll have a good night again tonight ... I've had a couple of bad ones here of late, granted I've had two $5,000/day plus in the last month too though.. sucks paying $100 dollars to get in a tournament and get booted out in 20 minutes but it happens ... haul up another Benjamin and give it another shot .... I only gotto win one 18 seat sit and go tournament a day to get around financially if I was to live off of this ... That factors in SOME losses but since I tend to play both tournaments and cash games at the same time .. If I lose $100 on a tournament I have in general made at least half of it back in the cash game already lol ... Even the loooooooooow 0.10/0.25cash games add up if you play 3-4 tables at the same time. I took one table for just under $54 in about 15 minutes Saturday morning .. not a major payday by any meansbut covered half a tournament buy in ... so why not .. :-) besides, it's cheap entertainment while in said tourneys ... between that and the TV going I can and have lost entire days playing not realizing time has flown by and it is now dark outside ... ohh well, gotto kill off them there debts one way or another :-)
