My first Riverchaser, came third, props to Alcanthang!

It was great to finally meet Sir AlCantHang, that I know for sure. When I got home after work I checked out the lineup for the Thursday blogger tourney's. Since there were two to choose from, it was either going to be the Riverchaser on Full Tilt or CC's Thursday Bash which took place a half hour later... on Joker, err I mean, Pokerstars...

Well based purely on the fact that I wanted to get playing as quickly as possible, I opted for the Riverchaser which paid off and then some. My strategy was to play tight and get lucky, and if I could hang out long enough then I'd be nice and focused and not even worry about trying to play the second tourney at the same time. I mean let's face it, I'm still learning here and consider myself quite the rookie when it comes to these blogger games. Players like Hoy and Tripjax were there along with many other familiar blogger types.

Anyway, the results were favorable and it felt good to make the final table and eventually finish in third. I had the chip lead a few times and I always felt like I was aware of where I was, in relation to the rest of the field. First of all, it wasn't perfect poker. It never is. Secondly, you've gotta get lucky... usually more than once. Thirdly, you've gotta win the races at the right times (get lucky).

I'll try to post more later, maybe.
