    Sometimes The Donkey Eats You

    posted by Absinthe | 10:53 PM

    I successfully imploded out of every tourney I ran today. In two of the Full Tilt guarantees I played, I worked my way up to top 5 in chips, only to lose a few races, then finally lose my chips against either sucker draws (bottom end of an OESD for a pot-size all-in bet on the turn – bon chance, mister big stack), strange calls (I know I like to call my chips off with A5s when a guy who hasn’t played a hand since he sat down goes all-in for 8x the BB), or other unmemorable donkishness. At least in the Hammer Out Cancer tourney I got to go out pushing 27o into KK.

    I’ve been much more tiltable these last few days than ever before and I’m not quite sure why, so I think I’m going to take a week off from online play and concentrate on my nascent juggling career. Or mimery. Maybe blade running instead. I’ll probably cave the first time I’m near a computer and a guarantee is about to start, but promises were made to be cracked.

      Juggling and blade running sound like fun.

      At least your last name isn’t Penner.

      Let’s go. Mime is money.
