I was one of the players in a field of 2469 to play in the Top 100 receive a ticket to the Sunday 100K at Lock poker. It may not have been pretty but after the smoke had settled. I placed 100th to claim the last ticket given out this week. Now, if I can convert that $100 monopoly money into some real Benjamins.
It happened to me today, people see me unwilling to protect my small blinds. I would have made Top 100 so easily, but the guy to my right insta allin 8 times when I am BB. For me I accomplished my goal. I waited for a better than 9 4 hand. And did me the double up that I felt increased my chance to win. QQ vs AK, held up to win a $100 ticket.
I outlasted a sitout player who had 38000 chips when I had 12000 chips remaining and blinds were 2000/4000.
It takes 2 years to learn to talk, but a lifetime to learn when to shut up.
