Imust say, it was quite impressive by both Dag and nesta who were down to a few blinds each with about 7 players on the table. I remember Dag asking how he was going to come back and I said, nonchalantly, “Just double up four times” and what did he do? Pretty much just that, including his final time against me, crippling me on the river (I had JJ, so I should’ve been psychologically prepared to lose the hand) and sending me into a murderous rage that I am surprised has not been all over the news. ---

My goal last night was just to outlast Dag since he was only ahead of me by a few points in the standings. It was looking doubtful for quite a while, and then he had some bad luck and finally only had one blind left. I thought I was home, but then he took that blind, doubled up three or four times in quick succession, and there I was, back to short stack with almost no hope to catch him. Luckily the cards fell my way towards the end. Once again I sneak to the top! GG Dag and everyone else. ---

Just a quick note that I won’t be playing tonight – because it’s my best friend’s birthday, not 'cause I’m skeered. 😃 I’ll be back to give away more of my chips next week… ---

Sounds like I missed a good game last week. (Although, I notice that I climbed one place in the quarterly standings. I wonder if I can turn that into a winning strategy.) ---

At 5p EST, I lit a match under Allen’s ass to get the game listed. As of 5:15, the game is not yet up. ---

Well, I missed it on purpose. I luvv me some **W** omen’s **C** ollegiate **W** orld **S** eries (NCAA fast-pitch softball finals), available on an ESPN2 channel near you, and a local girl is on the Northwestern team which was playing in our tourney time slot. Went 10 innings. By the time it was over, the tourney was over, so I didn’t get to jeer and cheer from the peanut gallery. ---

> [@CapnPitt](#): > > Good showing **misnomer** , especially for somebody who “wasn’t even supposed to be here today.” 😉 Thanks. 😃 I really didn’t expect to be back so early, but I got home 15 minutes before gametime and registered 10 minutes before. Of course, I can finish 2nd in an 11-player game with a $0.10 buy-in but finish 13th in a 14-player game with a $20 buy-in (the tourney I just got home from). :smack: 🙂 ---
