A night at the mookies

I ran before work, had my enchelada fix, took a brisk walk (3+ miles) after dinner. Now I am ready for the Mookie.

42 players tonight. Very nice turnout. Things ran pretty well for me, I caught on fire near the end of the first break and took the chip lead. And I sat there or nearby as we dropped to two tables. As we approched final table, the junk kept getting kicked- nothing pretty about the way we do it in the Mookie, that is for sure. Made the final table, but out in 9th when my Mook runs into AJ on a 48J flop.

For those keeping track at home: The over under on locals making the final table was 4. I was the lone one, so the under wins. Also, 6:5 for a World player to win- well, that pays even though I don’t know the winner yet.

During the event TripJax and I setup our time to play heads up. This historic event will take place this upcoming Saturday, May 27th at 3PM eastern (2PM for me). It is on PokerStars. Come railbird for Trip as the favorite as this underdog takes his shot at the man, the myth, the legend. (heh). Look for the “TripJax vs Gilain DADI 5 Bounty Heads-Up Match” under the private tourneys.

  1. Hi there,

    I’d be interested in advertising on your blog, if you take that sort of thing.

    Would love to hear back from you, coach(at)poker-strategy.org

    Thanks!

  2. Gillain does not stoop to advertising impudent mortal! That odious pseudo-comment will be punished forthwith!

    If you’re looking for a mid-level manager to run your evil empire Steve, you know where to find me.

    Thanks for stopping by (did you see your DQB Jacks screenshot?) and see ya next week at WWdN.

  3. Nice run last night…musta been lonely being the only Austinite at the final table.

    Good luck in your heads up match Saturday, I will try to stop in if I am around and semi-sober.
