The Mookie, 3rd final table in a row, 3rd again

After finishing third in the Riverchaser last Thursday and 9th on Sunday at event #1 of the WPBT I managed to make my third final table in a row. Feels good to know that I can sling'em around with these talented bloggers, but it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth as the only thing I really was focused on was winning. Alas, it wasn't to be. I had almost a 4-1 chip lead and then my massive wall of chips dwindled away in a matter of a race, and a set over set. Pokerpeaker (who ended up taking it down, great playing by the way) pushed all in with to over cards to my 5's with his last 5K. Here's the live blog comment:



"11:44 … pokerpeaker is all in PF with QJc and Schaubs calls with 55…Queen on the flop and pp doubles up to 10K, Schaubs still has 35K."



OK so I am still doing well, then I get cooled when my set runs into Peaker's set and soon after that... 14 minutes later and only 8k left to get lucky with, and I'm out in 3rd. GG me.

"12:04 … pp raises to 3200 PF and Schaubs calls….J86 (two hearts) on the flop. pp bets 1600 and Schaubs raises to 4000. pp calls and a 5 peels off on the turn, pp checks and Schaubs bets 7000. pp moves all in for 8K more and its set over set…pokerpeaker had 88 and Schaubs 66. Wow…Rigged."






I'll take it I guess. There were a lot of good things that I can reflect on and build. Hello world!

I felt bad for you, I have to admit. Not much you can do about that. I thought you played very well. You were very aggressive and tough to read. I enjoyed playing with you and nicely done.

Good game last night. I had you pegged to take it down with your chip lead and they way you were ruling the table. But that cooler can take the steam out of any mans stride.
Cya in the next tourney.
