Melb Champs #5, New job and $1/$2 NL live

So it turns out that i am meant to win the teams event this weekend with Rainns since my other two events have been really disapointing.

I scored the little feature table that crown have set up, and got the seat in front of the pole. Its so nice not to be able to move! Moving on from that i got a little bit of luck with Stephen Topakas sitting to my direct right. None of that really mattered cos it seems like i am a one pot wonder.

After i took my one pot for the night i procceed to get my ass kicked. Set Tens vs Set Ks and there goes half my stack. A missed nut flush against the short stack and i am down to 5BBs. AsJs Shove turns to crap as the flop dodges me every which way.

I did however get seen at the feature table by AJ (adgee) so if there are any non believers he can back me up at a small fee of $50 a time.

After my great poker tournament i hit the roulette tables and somehow i managed to work up enough coin to get some food and hit the old $1/$2 NL tables. Man its been while. I sat with my full $80 buy in and a rebuy if needed in my pocket. Its wild that game, first hand was an all limp fest with every single player limping in! I saw this as an oppurtunity to try a few things.

First was a little advertising showing down 3 bluffed pots with 9x. Lets see what happens... I did get a few calls in spots i thought i wasnt going to but the overall result from my 9 bluffs was anytime a 9 hit the flop and i bet they all folded!
So what does a man like me do in that situation? Plays 27 and bets the 9 high flop!

After a few hands i see a familiar looking man up at the media center looking down over the poker tables. He was wearing a top with "Tilted Behaviour" on it! Yeah that'll be Tim Duckworth. Now how was i going to get the attention of TDuck? I pull out my blackberry and log into MSN. Score! He is online. "look to your left" i type. As he turns around i give probably the worst cheesy grin i have ever given. Not sure if the stunned mullet response i got was from supirse or shock at the face i had pulled.

After walking away from my session about $70 up i decided i should head home via the sushi bar of course.

And to all those who didnt know, i started a new job this week. I am working for the APL as a TD. Just in my local area and after my first night i enjoyed it. Its nice to see AA get cracked by JT and not actually be the one taking the beat for once. All in all night 1 was good and i will be back there again next week. So if anyone is around Tuesday nights Dromana RSL 6:30pm reg and the game kicks off at 7:30pm!
