I went out in 88′th of 144. I never got anything going and missed several key flops which had me playing defense most of the tournament. On my final hand I got my money in with AKo against pocket tens and never improved.
I was also a little thrown off by some of the play at my table. Having played against the bloggers on many previous ocassions I thought I had the pace of the game pretty much pegged. I mean, a donkey move here or there but for the most part ok and good players. Not at my table though. Some real donkey action going on. The chip leader at our table called an all-in pre-flop raise with KTo for half his stack?!!? This is the before the first break. In another hand, a different donkey, calls my $200 bet into a $375 pot on the river with ace high (I had a straight A - 5). You don’t normally see that kind of play at a blogger tournament . . . but it wasn’t a blogger tournament. I later found out that Wil Wheaton invited people on Fark to come and play and I’m assuming that’s what introduced the huge varience players to the game.
I’m not blamming the Farkers for my results but was a bit of a shocker to see such poor play. You’re sitting there going “Is this a Party free roll?” I’m wondering if there had been any actual money in the prize pool if it would have changed the way people played but . . . it was certainly entertaining

Easycure added these pithy words on Jul 18 05 at 9:39 amI had a farker at my table and he played a bunch (all) of hands. He was gone early.
My K-K ran into Sarahbellum’s A-A early, and I risked them all on a Q-high flop. Next time I’ll give myself a chance to fold those kings. Or not.
At least she used my early checks to take it all.
StudioGlyphic added these pithy words on Jul 18 05 at 5:44 pmI was expecting some silly plays throughout simply because there was no prize money and it was all in the name of fun. Of course, I missed the damn thing, but that’s okay.
Mike Woodhouse added these pithy words on Jul 20 05 at 5:19 pmI must have missed the donks. I’ve found that when playing “poker community” events (mostly RGP “home games”) that raises are given much more respect, which allows an element of judicious stealing. Plus I got pre-flop raises in with two Hammers, taking both pots with continuation bets.
And I’m feeling overly smug at seeing the final order picture around blogdom with my little handle in 3rd place….
