S2C SO CLOSE YET SO FAR AWAY

S2C SO CLOSE YET SO FAR AWAY

Was reading the amazing stuff today on the blog of Bluescouse which to be honest scared the fkn shit out of me as to how some youngsters these days just get so deep and carried away with this crazy game of poker we play and the hyped up glamour life that is supposed to be lived by the oh so selected few.Someone left a phrase on there about "Playing within your limits" which to me is the basic law of gambling.
As such after work saw a couple of online tournies I was looking forward to playing and for the heady outlay of a total of 10 euro played in a freeroll on Bluesquare for seats to the Walsall leg of the GUKPT and entered the qualifier on Virgin for the festival coming up in Aspers in Newcastle in April organised by AWOP.

A full quota on Bluesq of 500 saw me through 1/2 the field till 10 10 failed to JJ but the total enjoyable part of the night was in the AWOP Virgin Festival qualifier where 33 players started. From the off the table banter was brilliant and throughout the whole tournament I never saw anyone badmouth anyone else no matter what the beat or call was. Down to last 12 with 3 seats up for grabs but getting low I push with 55to face KK and its bye bye but the excitement continued in that S2c2 made the final table facing a few other well known local faces from Newcastle there and other well known forum voices. Some excellent plays and moves saw young S2 get to an excellent position moving into the last 6 well stacked but his button raise with AK saw an all in move by the BB with QQ hold up and stack damage he never really recovered from.
Last 4 was obviously very cat n mouse stuff with 2 big stacks there and eventually the low stack of S2c had to push with A6 off but found the big stacked BB sitting with AK. As most times in this position it always holds up then and its bubble for the young muldoon although I must admit a very impressive performance and bigger rewards are just around that corner Im sure. WD sir and very well played.




Quick mention and well played also to Gordon "GIMAC" on his performance in Ireland over last few days and his final table finish in the Omaha Event.Again wp and wd sir!
