Here's a story for ya...

We just held our final tourney of the season, where the 5 previous champions get a free seat, and play for the title of Grand Champion. The field was open to and 8 others took their seat to try and via for the title.

It was an exciting night, and the one who took it all finished in the money for the first time ever. But the real story was the runner-up. For most of the night, he was a no-show. The table kept him in the game, placing his blinds for him. Finally, the field was down to only 5 players, the no-show finally walked through the door.

At this point, he is down to his last 3 BB. On only his second in-person hand, he makes his move all in. Smelling desparation, two other players call his all in and then play a further side pot. As the cards come up, he wins his pot, and now has new life.

He parlays this bounty to a second place finish.

Moral of this story - you can win if you play tight. I think I'm going to fold every hand until I'm in the money and see how I do next time!

-Max

BTW - I finished second to last... Man I can play me some poker!!! Check out the details at http://wetcollegeradio.net/blog/article.php?story=20060621091824945
