I am sitting here with my 'I Got The Nuts' poker shirt on under my hoodie and my iPod all charged up. I can't wait to play.
Drop out! Bristol is rigged anyway!
Also remember that you can buy-in to the tournament if someone busts out in the first 5 levels. (assuming everyone actually shows up and you're still on the waiting list.)
I'm probably not going to come over unless I know I'm in, but I can be there in about 13 to 16 minutes, so please post right away if you find out you have a seat for me. I'm PMing you my phone number also, so you can contact me that way if you need.
Please, don't switch to Friday nights - I don't want to have to decide between Bristol and... well Friday nights
The game last night was definitely a test of stamina - That was one of the longest Bristol final tables I have ever played - And I only bubbled.
I think in the end it was the time and lack of caffiene that got me. I can't believe I went out like that....
Miranda raised from EP enough to effectively put me all-in. A combination of her position and selectiveness was enough - I think I had put logic aside because I saw a decent hand.
With AQ I am either beat by AA KK or AK, behind any other pair, or chopping to another AQ.
At that stage of the tourney even with a low stack I should be only playing First In or First Out - but the time got to me - when she flipped over AK I wasnt even surprised and that is no way to go out of a tourney.
That was a really cool night and great to win the First 2007 Bristol!
Once you get your report up I will add a couple responses up on how a few hands went down. There were 2 in particular that epitomizes how the night went for me!

I MIGHT be late, post and fold me please.
800 (please don't call my sqeeze play) over
Thank-you to Moose for picking me to make the top ten this year, even though so far it looks like a bad choice.
Thank-you to my table for not making me feel worse about calling all-ins with the worst of it twice in a row.
Thank-you to Shannon for making me wait to get my money for the Raptors tickets, so I had a reason to stick around for the Omaha sit-n-go.
Thank-you to whoever short stacked Mark in the sit-n-go, so I can claim that I am perfect vs. DrTyore in PLO (1-0).
Thank-you to Aimee for providing heads-up girl-on-girl action in the PLO sit-n-go.
Thank-you to the pocket queens that held up for my first and last big pots in the cash game.
Thank-you to Josh for putting me on tilt, but giving me the opportunity to still break even for the night.
Thank-you to Kristy for making a caffeine run at 2:00 a.m. that let me stay up so late.
Thank-you to UW for having a full reading week for the first time this year, which means I don't have to teach an 8:30 class in four hours.
Thank-you to Dave, Ty, and Mark for sticking around to the bitter end for some great hands of poker.
Of course, thank-you to Rob for offering up your house and your tournament director skills for another great event.
Thanks to Sandy for doubling me up twice and giving me a big stack.
Thanks to Brent for going runner runner on me to take that big stack away.
At least I did get all in with the best of it and I was completely sober for this one.
