Runner-Runner-Rebuy

Missed the riverchasers last night due to packing for the big move, but hopped on later and got involved in one of the blogger cash games while I played some 55+5 SNG's.

I folded my way down to 4 players in the 3 SNG's, and got a 1st, 2nd, and 4th place. I don't know what was going on last night in the 55+5's but the players were crazy, 3 or 4 going all in at a time. Normally, I'm pretty aggro in the turbo SNG's, but sitting back and folding into the $$$ seemed to be the way to go last night and it worked out pretty good for me.

In the cash game, I never really got any cards, or traction. Also, it was kinda hard to pay attention while playing some SNG's and .15/.30 just can't keep me focused. Lost about $30 in the cash game.

The real fun of the night was losing my Pushfest virginity. I heard rumbling of the pushfest over the past few days, but didn't really know exactly what peeps were talking about. In case your late to the party too, here's the scoop. Listen to BDR, and at some point they will call for a pushfest. Typically a 90 player $3 tourney, or a 50 FTP tourney is chosen. As many bloggers as possible sign up. Everyone pushes all in EVERY HAND (plays just like the Mookie). Last man standing wins, and everyone else ships him/her some agreed upon amount ($5 or $7). It is insanely fun. The reactions from the "normals" at the tables are hilarious.

RecessRampage ended up winning one of the tourney outright. I came close in one, but Donkette ended up taking it down. To be honest, even if I outlasted her, I think I would have been disqualified, because I accidentally folded a bad hand out of habit, instead of pushing all-in. Its actually tough to play a pushfest while multi-tabling, because of the auto-pilot mode I tend to go into while playing 3-6 tables.

Hmmmmm.....thinking back on the crazy 55+5 SNG's I was playing, I wonder if it was really some more advanced level of pushfest going on. Maybe a bunch of guys normally playing $500 SNGs decided to slum it in the 55+5's and have a pushfest of their own.

Big move tomorrow. Lots of shit to finish tonight. Good luck at the tables, and see you all on Sunday for the Big Game (provided my internet gets set up in time).
