Poker at the IP

Well, we've been at the IP in Biloxi for a few days. I'd need to look at a calendar to say how long. I'm dead tired and all my days are running together. Friday (I think) we left Baton Rouge at 4:45pm to drive to Biloxi (2 hrs 15 mins away) to make the last cash tourney in their week of events at 7pm. We arrived at 6:50 and made it into the T. Me? I ran bad. Mom? She ran great! At 2:30am (nearly 24 hours after she had woke up) she chopped to cash $1725 six ways in the T.  Off to bed.

Day 2: We hit the noon tourney which was a free entry with $20 rebuys and an optional single or double addon for $30 each to try to win a $10k seat into the WSOP. The rebuys & addons went to pay entries into a $100 tourney at 8pm. So I played on a super weak table that gave me a chance to see lots of cheap flops. After running into Aces twice I ended up pouring $80 in rebuys into this stupid tournament and then I hit a rush. I started flopping 2 pair and hitting underpairs for sets to knock out player after player. Then I went card dead and with the blinds and antes rapidly increasing in this turbo I ended up going out after the break after adding another $60 for my double addon.  I won the stupid seat into the 8pm T but no wsop seat.

The $100 tourney was another rebuy and I planned NO rebuys. It was to win a seat into the $2250 main event for the next day. I was out in 5 hands or less. All I can say is that I got it in good and lost.

At 8pm Mom bought into the $340 to win a seat into the $2250 tourney. 7 people won seats. Mom was one of them. Then they continued to play it out to win the one seat to the WSOP. At 4am Mom got knocked out in 3rd.

Next Day: Me? Still totally card dead. Mom? Played in the $2250 T and as I write this she is chip leader ir second chip leader with 5 people left. She'll cash somewhere in the range of $2000 - $37539.

Go Mom! At least I get see what it looks like to win!
