OK, I really didn’t expect to post again on poker this year. But, I have to. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I just played in two qualifiers. They started 40 minutes apart, so when the second started, I played in both simultaneously for about 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
The first was for the big tourney on Sunday. That one cost me $15.50 to enter. The second was for the nightly Omaha Hi-Lo which I love so much. That one cost me $4.10 to enter. In the bigger one, there were 53 entrants, top four would win the free entry. I came in second, so I got the entry, and I’ll be playing this Sunday (and still have another entry in the bank).<\/p>\n
In the second, there were also close to 53 entrants, but the top nine would win the free entry (worth $22). I came in ninth (which is as good as first in these types of tourneys!), so I won that entry too. I unregistered (since we’ll be out for New Year’s Eve tonight), so I can play tomorrow night without needing to qualify for it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So, two for two today, with a nearly 15-1 return in the first one, and 7-1 in the second.<\/p>\n
Then, feeling that I was on a roll, I entered two more qualifiers for the nightly Omaha Hi-Lo. Unfortunately, I lost both (poor play on my part, not poor luck). I gave back a whopping $7.16 in those two tourneys. Now officially done for the year!<\/p>\n
The final tally for the month got a tad worse (since I lost<\/em> the entry fees mentioned above), and now stands at down $267.25. That said, I now have two big tourney entries in the bank, and one Omaha Hi-Lo one as well, which is worth $452. Hopefully, I’ll convert those entries to real cash. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OK, I really didn’t expect to post again on poker this year.
