I bubbled for the WCOOP TWICE today..
Categories: linux, wine, PokerThe first was a double shoot out, top 4 made it… I was #5.
The second was a pot limit tournament, with 60 players, 62 rebuys and 30 addons. Top 4 move on to Event 13. It was rebuy, duh, but I never re-bought or did the addon
Here was the last hand of the tournament. (I know hand histories suck balls, but this one sucked major balls. So two ball suckers null each other out, or a good time.) Wouldn’t have helped me if I did in the end.

I could have slept until the next person bailed.. and probably should have, but I would make the same moves every time. I play to win.
The only positive is that I have more in my bankroll now, then when the day started. At least the bubble pays..
Oh.. I played under Ubuntu and wine, as the WinXP running on this POS laptop locks up after 2-3 minutes of use. Blah.

Those DS can be frustrating. I tried a bunch of them as super-sats for WSOP entries. I have a bunch of top 5 finishes, handful of top 4 and one second where I should have one but AK

Frustrating.. but at the same time.. fun. Looking back, I played the incorrect style, I shouldn’t play for the win, but play for the prize. I should have won my seat in the second one.. feh.. It’s all a learning process.
