Bing!




I won my entry! Clicky to see my name in lights

Since I had plenty of chips I played very defensively. It's not a tourney that you have to win, you just can't lose.  It's a waiting game.  When there were 8 peeps left....and remember 6 are winners, the peep to my right jammed all in for more than 1/3 of my stack, while I was holding 9-9.  Do I call and hope to bring us down to 7 peeps?  In the end I decided to do the thing I find most difficult.  I folded my pocket nines.  See below.




I've been thinking about it and I still don't know if that was the right move. In the end, I won my entry so it worked out fine.  I'd be interested in your thoughts on this.

Waffles thanks for your comment, it may have made me even more determined to win.  Now get back to work!

Play smart.

Nice job Josie! Gratz! You are dead on about not playing to win too.. Only time you have to risk things is if you are too short to continue on...

Hard not being the Sheriff, huh?

Should you have played the 99?

It's not a tourney that you have to win, you just can't lose.

You are excellent at answering your own questions!

Different payout; harder decision.

I think it is clear that KenP has surpassed Wolfshead as being VJ's biggest tormenter.

I bow to your greatness, sir ...

Light, that's only cuz of wolfie's situation. Once he's on the right meds he'll be back with a vengence.

Ken, the thing is he jammed cuz he had position and KNEW i couldn't call...so he could've done it with any cards, just to pick up blinds....

Congrats! Folding the 99 was the right move.

Yeah, Wolfman just gave me a temporary power of attorney.

Besides, rather than the sheriff, she reminds me of The Outlaw Josey Wales:

Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.

No additional insight will be provided concerning the mad dog component.

Folding the 9-9 was the right move at that point. As you said the tourny was about getting to the top 6 not winning outright. Although he could have had anything by folding you made it possible not to be short stacked and fighting like mad to get into the Bing.

You live to play another day...

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem
