4th place is pretty cool :-D

So I usually go play (free) poker (No Limit Texas Hold 'em) on Monday nights. I've joined two poker leagues and have finally found my 'away from home' niche. The places I play at usually have two tournaments each night. I usually finish in the top 15, but on Monday this week, I got all the way to 4th, which is the best I've ever done in a live tournament. I can play online or cellphone poker and kill 'em like Doyle Brunson, but playing in person is a different story!

SO by placing in the top 4, I get to go to a qualifier tournament on Tuesday night. The top 24 out of that tournament get to play in the 'tournament of champions', and if you win that...you are given a seat at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. WOOHOO!! (By the way, it is a $10,000 buy in if you just want to pay for the seat yourself.)

Will I place in the top 24? uh...yeah! Will I win the tourney of champs and go to Vegas? Probably not, but it will be fun to try!

-- update on 4/30--
I was out in 15 minutes at the tournament; however, I did play tonight at Sidepockets in Lenexa, KS and placed 4th in the 7pm session and 14th in the 10pm session. :)
