3rd Chance?

I went and played live last night. I hadn’t played for a couple of weeks so I thought I would go.

I actually ended up at a pretty tough table. Everyone sitting there I had played before except for one person. All of them are pretty solid players so I knew I was in for a challenge.

One of the players is a pretty aggressive player. If you want to be in a hand with him you better be ready to call raises and no checking after the flop.

Luckily, I started catching some good cards.

It’s funny, the table started out aggressive and I didn’t play the first few hands. After I started catching some cards, I found myself being more aggressive than usual. I guess I picked up on the table dynamic and shifted my play a little.

People talk about on line being rigged because of how hands play. Last night I had pocket K’s twice in three hands. This just shows you that weird stuff happens live too.

Anyway, I was going ok until after the second hour then the deck went ice cold on me.

I ended up 20th out of about 80 so not too bad.

I was on my way out the door when I was asked if I wanted to play 3rd chance.

The tourny’s have what they call a 2nd chance. 2nd chance is for the first 10 people knocked out. Those 10 can start a new game and the winner can get a couple of points.

3rd chance is a game where there are 10 people but it costs $20.00 to play.

I figured, what the heck and gave it a shot. I ended up second in that one and won $40.00. (First got $60.00). I made a mistake in heads up and lost most of my chips which cost me the game but other than that, I played pretty good.

The extra $20.00 probably barely covered the cost of the beer I drank while I was there.lol

So, all in all, I played poker for 5 hours live and at the end, covered my costs.

Not too bad…..
