Pot Limit Champ



I'm pretty convinced I am luckier at Pot Limit Hold'em than everyone else in the world. I just finished up the final table and played great, while also getting very lucky to never get bad beat. I ended up with over 90% of the chips when we got down to heads-up after I knocked out Dean from Michigan in 3rd place. I got pretty lucky against him when we got all our chips in the pot on a flop of 532, I had 43 and he had JJ. The Ace of diamonds hit the turn and the tournament was all but mine. I made a small deal with the other guy when we got heads-up so that I guaranteed myself at least $12,500. After about 30 minutes heads-up I finally finished him off when we got all in on a flop of 886 with my 89 dominating his A6.

After finishing all the paperwork and stuff the victory hit me and I felt really proud. They had a photographer there who took a victory picture and it will probably go up on some websites, I'll post the links when they get there. This was a great day.

Hey Dave,

well done on the win. Now I guess you finally have the cash to get me a wedding present.......cheap-ass. Hey i'm just s***in' around. Anyhow, great job and keep it rollin. you gotta come to A.C. sometime and we will paint the town red. A guy that was in my class here dropped out just because he was able to hustle all these idiot east-coasters in the poker rooms of Atlantic City.

keep it real, buddy.

Dave, NICE win.

I'm strongly considering investing 5% in your Pot Limit Tourneys during the World Series. I think you'll money at least once in those.

Maybe I can get a wedding present now too.

Keep bangin'
