I Finally Win A Moose Tournament

Oh my it's been forever since I posted anything.  This obviously means my poker outings have been nothing to write home about LOL.


I played both the 8am and 10am tournaments at the Moose on Saturday.  Didn't do any good in the first one, but the second one was fun because I actually won it and it was a "chip and a chair" victory.


I was down to one 1,000 red chip when I made the final table and had to draw a new seat.  Naturally, I drew seat one and with blinds and 1,000-2,000 I was all-in.  I didn't bother looking at my cards.  It turned out that I had 77 and won 4,000 when I ended up with a straight.  Yeah!


A couple of hands later I got AA and went all-in again and the hand held up against 4 other hands, which surprised me a lot.  With a mere 8,000 chips I became unstoppable and didn't lose another hand.  It was just crazy.  For example, if my opponent had KJ I would have AJ, etc.  I dominated on every hand and won them all.  This never happens to me so I was enjoying it a lot. 


I wish this happened more often but without the chip and a chair.  I would just like to win a little more regularly without feeling like I'm struggling every time.  Sheesh.
