I've finally found what I am good at. Pushfests! Maybe there is some lucksackery in this here soul of mine afterall... big smile!
On Wednesday night, after my 17th place exit in the Mookie, I jumped into one of those 50 FPP on Full Tilt with the likes of CK, Fuel, BuddyDank, Numbono, twoblackaces, schleppy, donkette. I can honestly say that it was the most fun I've had playing poker in a long time. So much fun that I think I will play in the Donkament tonight and give back a little (ok as much as possible in the first hour) of the $70 I won from the above said pushfest.
I hit runner-runner the first two pushes of the 54 person SnG. Split the first pot with Buddy when I held 47o and he held something like K7o. We both hit rivered straights and we were off and running. I don't have any screen shots but shortly after that (maybe three pushes later) there were only two of us bloggers left in the prop bet. I push with AA, everyone folds. The VERY NEXT hand I get AA again, I push. Knock out someone else.
I think I finished somewhere around 24th. The record is 14th. But man, was that ever fun! Ship it!
We played one more after that and CK was the big winner. She dominated the thing for about 20 straight hands and had 15 times (I'm actually just guessing) as many chips as second place. It was so hilarious and so fun. I was listening to BDR at the time and couldn't help but sign on and re-live the fun on the air. That show rocks!
The best part about these pushfests is pissing off all the other unsuspecting non-blogger types. The ones who have put up their 50 hard earned points and have real hopes of winning the super-sat. into another satellite to the 750K. Pipe dreams I tell ya. Especially when they run into 7-10 pushmonkeys with more money on the line than the actually cost of the entry, and the next combined.
So fun, I'm smiling.
Make sure you smile today, it is good for the poker soul.
I didn't play in the 4 card PLO bingo tourney last night, in fact I don't even know who won the Riverchasers. Whoever it was, congrats on the TOC seat!
I guess I'll go searching now.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Those damn bloggers...
No respect for points. Unbelievable.
Schaubs, this is hilarious... I was going to do a practically identical post today about how much I LOVED the push fests!!! Last night when the Riverchaser's PLO tourney hit the Final Table, we did THREE push fests. I took down the first for a $90 profit!!! Only played 3 hands too! (Bought a bunch of limped blinds the first time... then lost the next two... but evidently I lasted the longest of the TEN of us involved.) We did two more, where joshuacarlsen and Donkette each won $100 once we got attendance up to 11 of the blogger brethren. And Donkette SHATTERED the record of 14th with an AWESOME 8th place finish out of 54 by pushing every single hand! It was ridiculously entertaining. Most fun I've had on the felt in some time. Listening to all the RANTS in the chat box, she was called some pretty wicked nasty things. Hilarious!
Oh, and 'TuscaloosaJohn' won the Riverchaser's I believe. (I fell out short of the Final Table, AGAIN.)
Hope to see you in the Donkarama tonight while we donate some of our pushfest profits! It's my Friday evening stress-relieving routine. I love the fun... good times. Good luck going forward in the BBT3...
Donkette is the new pushfest Queen. Final tabled that mofo!!!
See you tonight then !
And yes, I should just squeak into the points from last night. A 21st. place finish out of 83 = 20.75 so here's hoping I get rounded up!
And remember, I never once said Tiger is a hack. I do not brainwash people. And the only time Tiger sucks ever comes out of my mouth or off my finger tips, is when it is purely for my enjoyment and said to you!
