I missed the first tournament they had because I was in a funk and wasn't feeling it, but this time I was prepared and woke up fresh and my friends Paul & Wolf and my bro came home around 5:20pm and was pretty much ready to go. Just as I put on my shoes, I wanted to give a call at the card club to see if there was still room since it's 130 max. The registration started at 5pm and the tourney started at 7:30pm, so I gave a called and of coarse they are all sold out. Well that really sucked because I'm pretty much a tourney player, so I was really looking forward into getting at least ITM the tournament. Every minute that went by we were not feeling Canterbury Park, but we all gave that last umph and we were off to the races. (I guess they do actually have horseracing betting there)
It was the first time I seen snow outside in minnisota, and I was in for a real treat outside. And I thought Wisconsin weather was cold, shit!, if you like freezing parts of your body off like your ass, and ears that's the place to go. I was swearing and screaming ( I really really do hate the cold) until the heat finally started emitting out of the vents and I got some Mc d's in my belly.
We finally got there and it turned out that the place was a whole card club. So there wasn't any slots and that's what wolf and paul wanted to just do; Sit and relax and have some dranks. They decided to go hit up a bar while I play poker, but I didn't get a seat on a table for about an hour and a half. I also seen a bar in the back of the cardroom so wolf and paul didn't even have to leave. (they thought the only bars were outside the card room. ) I wanted to call them but my dumbass forgot my phone so I was going to call collect, but you know how much they are asking for a collect call from wis is? 9 fuggin dollars! I cashed in some of my chips to get some quarters to call up my brother and to tell paul that there was a bar in the card room and they could just chill there.
Well I finally got on a 2/4 table, I was on the waiting list for 3/6 too, and I was ahead 80 before my last 2 hands before I left. I had pocket Jacks and it was raised max preflop, and the flop comes Q,Q,3 and long story short it was raised to the max on the turn and me and another person called his bet on the river. What does he have? Q,3 of coarse...... limit I love it! So I made about 30 in a couple hours but that's how limit is, a less exciting game than No Limit, but you can make money if you take the time and patience to do it. That's what I plan on doing in a couple days. I'm going to go back there on friday and stay there the whole day while the boys are at work and see how I do playing Limit Holdem, my weakest game I play.
One thing I forgot to tell you is that I'm in my metal chair rolling around, and my feet rub the floor alot, and that of coarse conducts electricity, and then my ass gets zappped whenever I touch metal. Just to let you know I get take pain like any man can; but this was the worst zaps I ever got from static electricity. I actually seen a small lighting bolt form from my finger and the metal, I kid you not. So on friday I have two plans, take my time and wait for premium hands and be patient and try to not touch any metal.
