I swear that l will soon be known as the "bubble" girl or the "almost bubble" girl. This limit tournament was held on Friday, July 17 at the summer poker round-up at Wildhorse Casino in Pendleton. There were 192 entries. They paid the final two tables - 18 places. Yours truly went out in 20th. Ouch!
However, there were many positives about this trip and finishing two out of the money is the only negative I can think of. Postives are: (1) I beat 90% of the field; (2) it was only my 2nd limit tournament ever and I made a great effort (and a great comeback after about 6 hours of play when severely short stacked); (3) I beat "triple gutter" - ha! (although he made a good showing himself, going out about 45th I think; (4) I had "Oklahoma Johnny Hale" as a table mate for most of the tournament and he was great fun to play with; (5) I enjoyed a very good Mexican dinner for free; and (6) I made a PROFIT of $250 on the slot machines playing only $20 to begin with so my entire trip netted me about $65 after tournament entry and gasoline. Not too bad. I had a great time and I'm looking forward to November!

Nice showing! Bob and I played in the horse tournament on Thursday, both busting out right before the dinner break...I think I hate stud eight or better.
