We went to our Thursday night live tournament with a bit of momentum -- or at least we'd like to think so. After five consecutive second-place finishes at five-player NBC Sports Poker Room tables, we broke through today and finished first!
The victory came when we modestly played pocket Aces, to make sure our opponent would keep calling and stay in. The board brought a 3 on the flop, then running 3's to give us a full house.
First place in that event earned us 875 points toward a Sunday night "leaderboard" tournament with an $800 top prize. But we're finding playing only a couple of times per day puts us far down the ladder. The real poker addicts seem to have much more at the top. Thankfully we're not addicted, and have a life outside poker.
Which invites the question -- which one are you?
