WWdN Profit
BB's to go: 502.1 or $50.21
Finished in the money at the WWdN! Went out ninth on a stupid move (more on that in a minute.) I was disappointed that I'd bubbled out after playing so strong, then I heard my e-mail ping.
What? Oh shit, nine places paid!
I'm so happy about how I've played in the blogger tourneys lately that I don't want to over analyze it, just want to enjoy it. I will say that they suit my comfort zone.
I learned a valuable lesson about level headedness and concentration during my brief stint at the final table. I'm dealt pocket 10's and the flop is 8K8. I fall into what I'll term "flop madness."
"Two-pair, two-pair, two-pair, I'VE GOT TWO PAIR! There's no way anyone could have a king! Who would dare have a king when I've got two pair? I'll just go over the top all-in...DOH!"
If this hand had happened an hour earlier, I'd probably have laid it down. Losing my head in one hand did me in. Oh well, lesson learned.
Finally, there is a world of difference between playing with a bunch of people who you have some connection to and playing with anonymous icons from Bad Munchenhausen. I'd have had a great time if I'd busted out early, and I can't wait to play again.

Congrats on the final table and money last night. Great job.

Nice work mate. I'm glad you discovered you had "accidentally" cashed!
Nice on the cashing in the event.
And pushing is never as bad as calling an all in!
Awesome job man:)
I busted in 40th, 7 spots ahead of Will, but it was my first, and now I know that sadly, I can't play loose around these people, unless I get a luckbox stack early:)
Oh well, live and learn, see ya next tues:)
Thanks everybody! It's definitely on again for next Tuesday.
