I forgot to mention that before the Horse event I had yet another Final table in September. I finished 5th of 150. I was way ahead of the pack with 68k until this huge donk I was sparing with whole tourny put a huge bad beat on me. I had trip kings and he back doored a medium strait on me after we capped it alll the way. UNREAL! If I win That hand I have 100k and next guy has 28k. Leave it to a stubborn donkey!
Here are my september and august finishes. Keep in mind I wasn’t playing that many tournys in last month because of taking care of my son.
Date Tournament/Event Place Entrants Winnings
09/20/2006 Omaha Hi/Lo Limit $20 5 150 $165
09/03/2006 HORSE DS Limit $200+$0 4 140 $2,380
09/03/2006 HORSE Limit (#6142012 Qualifier) $24+$0 1 74 $216 (Ticket)
08/21/2006 7-Stud Limit $5+$0 5 108 $27
08/17/2006 HORSE Limit $20+$0 1 88 $528

I think my specialty is Stud. But the horse finishes prove I’m an all around poker player.

I’m back to grinding in nl holdem cash games. I vowed to only play tournaments and low limit mixed games, but I’m back at pokerstars multi-tabling. I’m playing 4 2-4 nl holdem games or 5 1/2 nl games at once. I could easily play 6 1 2 nl games at once. I’m still entering tournaments every day. I entered my first wcoop event at pokerstars. It was the 200$ horse event which had 1798 players in it. I didn’t get any cards in first 2 hours and was almost the first person out of the event lol. I was first all in with all my chips after about only one hour. I survived that all in and got a couple pots after that. I did very well at seeing weakness in my oppenents at stud. Nobody was folding thier hands… I fought for every little pot! I lasted 6 hours losing all in in holdem KQ vs qj. Oh well, at least I have some WCOOP experience.

I had a remarkable day of poker on Sunday night. On Saturday I lost $1600.00 playing 10 20 limit Holdem early in the day. Later that day I bubbled after a 35k lead in the Pokerstars super deeps Stacks Horse event. I hade over 98k in chips and managed to finish 11th. But Sunday things really went my way. I entered a $26.00 Sat. to the Sunday main event. It had 74 players in it and yours truly (Greektycoon) took it down! I had a couple hours to relax before main event. I was tired from the 4 hours or so it took me to win the sat. event. As we started the 200.00 main event I noticed Andy Bloch, Miami John Cernuto, Aaron Bartley, Premier, Micon and several other top pros were in the tourny! I broke away from the start only to be let down by losing with nut strait to river quads in Omaha hi low….
Then I lost another monster pot to a 2 on the river when I had the nut low! I recovered and broke away from the pack again. I climbed to 28k in chips and was in number one spot. I then began to play tight and drifted down to 8th place behind Andy Bloch. I was short stack at final table with 8500
in chips when bets were 2k 4k. It was sick! I remained calm and folded many hands many amatuers would go broke on like a3 33 in holdem in position. I finished in 4th place and took home $2360.00 from an initial investment of 26$!
