Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
WCOOP 62 - Qualifier - $5,200 buy in - $10M g"tee
All going well - but QQ vs AK ... turns into AQx ... heaven ... until JT rivers the straight ... (hell)
Of course it is just a race ... but two rivered full houses and a rivered straight in a night is time to switch the computer off!
Earlier in the day 3rd from 27 in a qualifier with two paid ... smile ...

RT now?
Honeybadg:
RT -$2635 (Minor Cash wins offsetting a little of tournament losses)
RT is weird now as I have lost interest in it. When I started the blog I was leaving my last job and knew that I would have six months to play poker and grind as required to pay for tickets to tournaments.
Nowadays - no time to grind - so it is pay for the ticket and WAIT for the returns.
I might be waiting forever??
Tournament form is good ... but at the crucial moment ... no traction to win the vital hand ... last night 85% chance to be more the double the average when the money went in ... river bink .. and dead ... (not far from the money)
Still a long way to go ... but very alive ... and having watched the rest of the WCOOP (to the final table) nothing to fear beyond the volatility ... which feels more massive then ever.
I am looking forward to the official report for the WCOOP ... the winner for $175k ... was all in with T7s vs AJ with c40 BB"s ... he spiked ... and the rest is history ... had he lost he was out for c$2k ... UNREAL ...

Honeybadg:
I should add - there should still be an heroic "end" to the blog ...
Not sure I can raise the enthusiasm for WCOOP 21 today at 6pm??
Probably get my head together for WCOOP 41 - next Sunday - $215 N/L - $1.5M g"tee

Interesting to rail various parties last night ...
WCOOP 21 - Super Slow - but little sign of much great poker going on.
Stay alive and steal what you can - and then make your move.
I went to bed with about 2500 left ... and woke with 23 ... Final table very interesting.
Some terrible play - TT vs QQ when 60 BBs deep - a neat way to throw away $100k.
One of the short stacks - just sat there to make it from 9th to 3rd - then got busy to come second and scoop $211k with no risks on the final table ... well played.
Not sure what poker is next for me ... lured by the 4-max tonight ... but 20 min levels means all night to get anywhere.
Pleasent lunch watching Greyhounds - 2 wins from 2 - one by a nose - and £140/$210 profit ... it"s almost written that I should play tonight!
