We hosted an OCPT tourney Saturday night....

and squeezed 26 degenerates into our 2bdr condo making this one of the biggest turnouts of the year and possibly ever. the structure was a $20 rebuy through the 1st 5 levels. we had an OCPT record prize pool of $2060 with 5 spots getting paid.

1st paid out $850, $500 for 2nd and $330 for 3rd.






























we offered free food and drinks for this event. which, i suspect had a little something to do with the turnout. Tina did a kickass job in the kitchen, cooking up a batch of hot wings, bbq wings, pasta and pulled pork sandwiches. we had a full keg and open bar. Blinders helped out as tournament director. thx amigo!

all i did was order the keg, drink, eat and play my A-game :P

Wes and Poison were in attendance as well as several guys from my old company. it was good to see some of the fellas again and meet Wes for the 1st time. wudda lucksac he turned out to be.

just like many mOOk's and other blogger tourneys, me and Elf were seated at the same starting table. haha

1st hand of note: a couple of players limp in including, Poison. i pop it 3x pre-flop on the button with KQo. flop comes:

J-J-8

everyone checks, the turn brings another J and Poison makes a small bet. i figure she's got an 8. so, i call hoping to suckout.

river is a bee-yoo-tee-full Q and i river a full house. there's no way i'm getting away from this. Poison makes another small bet, i reraise she pushes and i insta-call. she shows J-To for DQB.

REBUY!

later, i pick up AhTh and call a standard 3x raise from a tighty mctight. flop comes Q-high with a coupla hearts. i bet out, tighty calls. turns brings a brick, i bet he folds.

a few hands later, i pick up KQo again. some guy limps in EP and i raise it. flop brings a bunch of low cards. he checks, i put him all in and he calls with 99. i river a Q and i'm the chip leader at our table.

Poison donks out along with several others and we get down to 2 tables. i'm in the BB with the Hoy (AJo). it's folded to the button. he's short and limps in, SB calls. i raise it 3x, SB folds and button limper just calls. flops brings a bunch of little cards. i put shorty all-in. he calls and shows AQo. i don't improve and he dubbles thru. strange play. later, he does the same. he limps with KK in LP and a shorty pushes all in with AK. he takes him out.

i don't pick up any hands and limp into the final table with T500 and the blinds going up to 100/200. we draw for seats and i draw the cut-off. which woulda meant i get to wait almost an entire orbit before i have to push. but, somehow Blinders fucked up the draw and we all have to redraw. i redraw the seat UTG.

just peachy.

i pick up QhJh on the 1st hand at the final table and push. Wes comes over the top all in with A8o to isolate me. Lucksac flops an Ace and i'm done. later he pushes all-in after an EP raiser with A-Qo vs AKo and flops a Q to take another player out. can we talk.

they get 3-handed and the eventual winner took out one of my buddys, Larry getting it all in preflop with A-9o vs QQ. flop comes A-A-9, turn brings a Q.

so sick:















Wes and Cristina get heads up for the Luckbox title. they discuss a chop and decide to play it out. Wes runs outta luck and finishes 2nd for a $500 payout. well done kid.















after the tourney was done, me, Wes and a coupla other donks break out a 1/2 NL cash game. it was a $40 max buy-in. i kept busting some donk who couldn't resist bluffing me and i cashed out $140. this covered my tourney fees.

while i was putting this post together, i won a seat into Sundays $650 WSOP Qualifier on PStars thru their $16 dubble-shootout. wOOt !














maybe, i'll slip on a banana peel and win my seat thru this like these donkeys.
