BOOOOOOM!



Awesome...won my seat to the TOC last night by winning the Mookie. Got most of my chips by almost tripling up with QQ v. AK & AK. Got to the final table in 2nd place and almost immediately lost half my chips when AK < KJ all in pre. super. kept my cool and was able to pick up quite a few chips without any showdowns. Ugh, it was late and without the hand history in front of me i don't remember too many specifics about the knockouts.

But, the heads up battle with Riggstad was ridiculous. No idea how many hands were played, but I'm guessing it was over 100. We went back and forth and I eventually wore him down. Picked up quite a few chips on some shoves over his raises with AK, 99 and then the last hand he shoved A6o and I called with JJ, flopped a set, he turned a guttie and luckily, I held. Game over.

Great game Riggs. happy to get this TOC seat out of the way.

Thanks to Lucko and LJ for the rail :) much appreciated. and to Astin for his Nostradamus like vision of my win. ;-)

You forgot to mention how you pushed with Q9 (The Hellory) against AK.

The Hellory held up of course.

Congrats!

The free poker games are too tough, unless you are playing at a totally worthless limit. Don’t fool yourself with a sprint of good luck in the beginning, before the other players judge any sense of your play.

Making a fire when camping has been a problem for hundreds of people. Flint is difficult to use, matches get wet or won't light, lighter runs out; even though civilized man has created many ways to start a fire, they all fail at some point, usually when they are needed the most. One simple yet powerful way to start a fire when camping or grilling is to have a Swedish Fire Steel. This small gadget was developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, hence the name. A metal key shaped "blade" is moved slowly over a rod made up of seven metals, chiefly magnesium alloy. The spark that is created is about 5500 degrees Fahrenheit. The Fire Steel is good for 12000 strikes allowing you to start a fire every day for thirty-five years if you want. The Fire Steel is just as easy to use as striking a match, making it perfect for all experience levels. It can also be used while wet so it is useful for winter camping or military personnel stationed all over the world. As one reviewer put it, "this is as close as you will ever get to starting a fire under water." There are currently three models of Swedish Fire Steels: the army model which is the largest at 3.75 inches, the scout model which is three-quarters of an inch shorter, and the mini model which is oddly enough the same size as the scout.
