Still Lost, but Found a Detour
took a break from cash games yesterday. full weekend, including:
Grapefest! small town wine festival in Grapevine, TX. Pretty standard walk-around-and-get beef-on-a-stick-while-drinking-and-eating-funnel-cake ordeal, except for the WINE TASTING. I make sure that my group has the best wine tasting experience. check the pic.

fuck yes
It's amazing how a lil bit of side tasties can bring out the flavors in wine. And (more importantly for me) wash the taste of the LAST wine off your palate. Wine, apple, wine, cheese, wine, chocoolate, wine, cracker. My song of the night was 'Hungry Eyes' (I LOOK AT YOU AND I CAN'T DISGUISE, I'VE GOT!) for all the jealous looks I got carrying this cutting board around.
*warning: low poker content*
so my detour from Lostland. I played a 30person MTT on UB last night and whomped people. Pretty standard play when I leverage my all in preflop bet based on a short stack.
-i raise, SS goes all in, evenstacked donkey calls, I shove, ESD shoves, my QQ holds up over AdJd and 66.
This catapulted me into the 11K chip range. Average stack was 2.5K, nearest was 4k. Heh heh.
The deck wasn't done smashing me in the face; I hit flops like Thor's Hammer, won EVERY coin flip, and just generally ran around with my pants off, doing whatever I wanted. Check out the chip distribution as we sat the final table.

parrottlover is at seat 0 with 31175. <---- SUCK ITTTT
surprising is at seat 3 with 1045.
aj31105 is at seat 5 with 4880.
liveatpjs is at seat 7 with 4500.
BIG_BALBOSKI is at seat 8 with 3400.
The button is at seat 0.
that's really it. it was a nice $52.50 win, but this brag post probably feels better. that's one thing about cash games, you don't get the same psychological pay-off that you do with a tournament win -- you just keeping grinding. maybe there's a lesson to be learned there: enjoy your win.
thanks mr. vorhaus.
