Run Good Challenge II: Poker Shrinkage

November 24, 2008

The first event of Pokerlistings Run Good Challenge II took place yesterday afternoon at PokerStars. We’ve got a bunch of tournament reporters in the field once again, so I’ll let you read their cogent analysis of the event instead of rambling on to you about how I got lots of big hands but no action.

The good news for me is that I picked up 4 points on the leaderboard for finishing in 6th place. I’m sure that was in large part thanks to a significant portion of the field, including some of the most fearsome potential opponents, not showing up. After we got started and I saw there were only 14 people playing, I sent Matt Stout a message and told him he missed the tournament. At about 2 am today I got this message back from him:

Omg I fkn suck =((((( I totally 4got

Now I just hope that things work out as well for me when he doesn’t forget this coming Saturday; two final tables would be awfully helpful in qualifying for the final that I missed last time around.

Congrats to Poker Shrink, Amy Calistri, and Michele Lewis for taking the top three spots respectively this week and leaving PL.com’s resident ringer Dan Skolovy out in the cold in 4th place. I’m looking forward to displacing at least one of them – hopefully not Skolovy – in the round two leaderboard this Saturday.
