Free rolls are funny. If I have AK vs AK, the board will usually come runner-runner flush for my opponent. He was of course free-rolling. Such events may lead the winner to rise from the table screaming. He may even kick over a trash can or something in celebration. (That's for you Broc.)
Other times, when I'm the one free-rolling, the board bricks out and it's choppin' brocco-lay. Such is life.
Tonight however, I was graciously invited to play in a free roll on Full Tilt by Joe over at RakeBrain.com. Seems they have a blogger over there named LeCheese who wanted to challenge some of us other poker bloggers to a duel of sorts. He seemed quite confident, even issuing a $100 bounty on himself.
Well, guess who was first out. No, not me. LeCheese succumbed to an unfortunate wrap draw on the flop against his pocket Aces. Wrap draw? Yes, wrap draw - we were playing PL HA.
I managed to chip up early, but then lost a race to Seattle John when his JJ held against my AKs all-in pre-flop. I had plenty of chips left though and didn't get too worked up about it. Unfortunately, TripJax and DoubleAs couldn't show up and got blinded off. We hit the final table a bit early - and those two still made it.
Sadly, I eliminated Drizz when I flopped a set of Kings and he didn't improve. We were 4-handed with myself, Seattle John, Mookie99, and another Rakebrain forum player JJProdigys Gran.
It was a winner-take-all free roll for $500, so it was going to get interesting. And because I'm a pretty boring person in real life, when I managed to acquire the chip lead, I offered a 4-way chop. Who wants to play for 3 hours, come in second and get squat? Not me. Perhaps a bit vag-tastic, but $125 guaranteed is $125 guaranteed.
So when the all-in fest came after we agreed to the chop, guess who won?
Yeah.
