I thought about going to the poker tournament at Calhoun’s tonight, but when I saw rain moving this way on the radar, I decided against it. “I’ll stay home and play on PokerStars instead,” I thought. “Maybe I’ll win more than the $15 gift certificate I could possibly win at Calhoun’s.”
Turned out to be a good call. I paid $4.40 to buy into a 180-person tournament about 6:30 PM. Three hours later I found myself at the final table, and although I was nearly busted by that point, I managed to fight my way back to finish in 5th place. That netted me a payoff of $46.80.
Too late to buy into another tournament, so I’m going to get some blog posts done. I got another piece of good news tonight too. More to come…
