aejonesStories and Adventures of an Implied Millionaire
Sooo, now that the Series is over I'm obviously sick (happened last year during ME run as well) and looking back on the summer that was. I played in $60,500 in buy ins over 17 tournaments, going 4 for 17 with no particularly deep runs (I got to the final 16 in the Mix Max where my equity was probably ~$125k but ran into a serious cooler and then lost AQ to A2 AIPF for my last 50 bigs) but also no min cashes. I picked the wrong tournaments to cash in this year (where I crushed it last year, cashing the 10k 6m and the Main) but still cashed for ~$44k. With pieces of other random people (a lot of pieces of guys in 1ks and shit that just straight bricked, wtf 1ks are easy) I lost some and won some, but still have a little sweat out in the Octo-Nine (that is really the name jesus christ) and am lucky enough to trick Chewy into swapping with me (wins everything in case you didn't notice).
Our house had a particularly good summer, with about a half dozen final tables, another half dozen final table bubbles, and, sadly, zero bracelets (I believe we were best at third and fifth). I would consider it a pretty successful summer all things considered. I managed to make a lot of day twos and even though many of them ended in disappointment and regret, there is value in getting to further stages in tournaments, I will just have to do a better job of realizing my equity in the future of course. With a little insomnia I figured I'd put this out there, and hopefully will have a better chance to actually think about what I'm going to do next and talk about more stuff next blog. In the meantime, Chewy was on a podcast called Occupy Poker recently, and while I usually don't listen to podcasts I happen to listen to the first 2/3 or so of this one. It's really more about conspiracy theories than poker, but it's a good listen.
