Ho. Lee. Crap

A little while ago Jeff told me about this tournament hosted at PokerRoom (where we all play online poker). It was a semi-private thing, with an odd two-stage registration. First you signed up at www.podcastpokerchallenge.com, which allowed to actually register your PokerRoom account for the tournament. It was free to enter, with a total prize pool of $2000, plus some players (pre-determined by the organizers, not random) were special and if you knocked them out you got a $50 bonus, regardless of where you finished in the tournament. Ogre, Jeremiah, and I all played it (I should have told Andrew about it but totally spaced on it - my bad). We all played pretty well which was cool. Top 20 paid out, so it was a bummer when Jeremiah finished 40th, but Ogre finished 10th plus got a bounty for a total of 94 bucks. I finished second but with no bounties so I only managed 340 freakin dollars!

I'm cashing out 300, then Nina and I are going to dinner and I'm saving the rest, because I'm so responsible and have this whole new apartment thing coming up.

I was in The City tonight and paid $6 for some ice cream.

Oh wait, that was me losing money.

You win this round, sir.

Haha. Well at least you got some ice cream out of the deal. Did you happen to catch a show or anything while in The City?

Yeah, Spamalot. Spent a bunch of money on that too, but it was better than the ice cream.
