Today was the Pokerstars World Championship of Online Poker. 1,337 bloggers played in the tournament, and the top 81 finishers got loot of some sort. How did I do? Good. Quite good, actually. 53rd. In a field that big, I was thinking I would be lucky to finish in the top 500. And I was lucky. And unlucky. And then lucky again. And then unlucky again. And I think you get the point. It was a poker tournament. Tournament poker is like that. Sometimes you have to take risks you wouldn't normally take in a cash game, and so do your opponents. And things happen.
Finishing 53rd got me what I believe they labeled the traveler's package - a pokerstars duffel bag and two decks of waterproof cards. So yeah, I'm awesome. I totally smashed all your barrels. If I had outlasted eight more bloggers, I would've won an iPod nano. That would've been pretty cool. But I'm still pleased with my results.
I'm grateful for my new sweetsweet duffel bag (20).
