I prevented the three-peat

That's right, the elusive three-peat is safe... for now. I busted MiamiDon early on at the Mookie yesterday, and it was my KK that took down his JJ in his SB. I'm pretty happy with the way I played it, although he did say it was "so obvious" that I either had KK or AA. Well he was right.
Then I proceeded to GIVE ALL THOSE CHIPS AWAY for no reason whatsoever... in one hand. It wasn't even a bad beat. I got caught making a bluff, and my first mistake was calling the raise from MP in the first place. Sellthekids who, I am not sure has a blog, raised 3X from MP with JKo. Everyone folded. I called for no good efffffing reason with 36s. Oh wait, there's one. I'm a donkey, there I said it. Whenever a bluff goes bad, I seem to beat myself up over it for quite some time. Note to self - don't bluff into the nuts.
Oh well, I guess winning the Hoy's bounty for taking out Miamidon will have to do. Thanks again Hoy, and thanks go out to Mookie as well for hosting another great turnout. I guess that was a free roll for me... however I'll use it for what it was intended and play in a token frenzy this week as instructed. I am not too sure that I'll play in MiamiDon's Big Game because of prior commitments taking place 90 minutes after the scheduled start time, but if I do end up winning a token before Sunday, then I'll sign up regardless. It just makes sense to me. Hoy rocks.
Here's my final hand against Iakaris. If this isn't a BB special then I don't know what is... all in preflop where I just call the SB after EVERYONE folded to me AND I only had 10 BB's left after the above noted DONKEY play, Iak raises and I re-raise all-in as fast as possible... that's poker.

Thank God! I missed two chances to three-peat this year and didnt need Donny to be the first!

Hey man hopefully this goes without saying, but don't feel any pressure to use the $15 for a token frenzy if you don't think you can play in the Big Game anyways, that sounds redonkulous to me. Obviously that money is yours to do with it what you will. And great job taking down the king, it was well worth every penny of the bounty as far as I'm concerned.

Good job taking out the big man. Can't let him get any chips or he is deadly.

I just keep questioning whether or not I played the hand correctly to take him out... I left a comment on his blog, but I haven't seen any sort of response... oh well.
