Been sick with strep throat, depression and poor card judgment the last week or so. Almost got well tonight. It was The Bluffers League WSOP Final, the long-awaited wrap-up to a series we began at Vegas Poker 24/7 before that site was bought by Absolute Poker.
The Bluffers is a great league, a fine forum and a good bunch of people. Thanks to everyone there for a lot of fun!!! Check 'em out and come play with us all sometime! Link on the right...
Tonight's final had 34 qualifiers/entrants. It was winner-take-all for $2,100. I didn't really break out of my recent poor card run, but I did get better results for once -- almost like my old self. I even led much of the tournament after there were 10 left. Heads-up, KeithG13 (keithg) and I began about even; then he won a big hand to take over a 3-1 chip lead on me. I hung in and nibbled away, until this:
