Freeroll Final!

I'm about to head out the door to drive back to Phoenix, but wanted to blog my last little bit for awhile.

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night thinking about the freeroll and poker in general. I woke up this morning a little nervous, but more excited for the freeroll. So, things get underway and I'm folding a lot of hands and trying to get a feel for my table. The first hand I play is my small blind. The level is 25-50 and the cutoff makes it 150 to go. I look down at 10-8s and call, we go 3 ways to the flop. The raisers was the big stack at my last session so I have a decent read on him and I know he is pretty aggressive. The flop is a thing of pure beauty 8 10 2 rainbow. I'm a little shocked, but I like where this is headed. I check he bets 200 and I call. The turn is amazing, 10d. I value check my boat. He bets out 400 and I call. I know he isn't going to be the river, so I let out 600 and he folds, but what a way to start.

A few other interesting hands come out I flopped bottom set in a raised pot on a 6 4 2 flop and the raiser pushes his 2500. I think for a second and even stand up and tell Highwaytime that I think I might have just been set over set. I make the call and he flips up 3's for a gutshot draw, he thought I had big overs. I hit a 2 on the river for quads. I also snapped a guy with AQ when he checked bottom set on the flop and I hit a J on the turn for broadway. I check he pushes and I beat him into the pot with my chips.

When we broke to 2 tables I had almost 1/5 of the chips in play, but I got a little frisky with 22 and lost about 6000 chips.

We make it to the final table and before the first hand is dealt we decided to chop 10 ways with the big stack taking 10k and the rest of us 6k, my 52os in the showdown hand for the trophy was no good. Once formal agreements were fullfilled I still had a great time and made some cash.

All in all it was a lot of fun and I made money logging my hours and during the freeroll. The mentioned that they were going to run another one around April, so I'll be on board for that.

That's it for me for awhile.
