fire escape
Yesterday I played in the longest poker tournament I've ever been in. Not the largest, the longest.
The largest I suppose would have been the WSOP qualifier in vegas last June, with ~200 players. The longest tournament I've played in before was probably one of mine, which in the beginning would somtimes last 4-5 hours.
The tournament yesterday was run by a bunch of guys I know from the barpoker tournaments. It started at 2pm, and I just barely cashed. By just barely cashing, at 8:15, I got 8th place, $40 for a $33 entry fee. So it wasn't even over, after 6+ hours. Some friends I play cards have been talking about having a tournment that was longer, so the blinds weren't so fast that they killed you, and then you could "play good poker". This tournament was definately that. So it was fun in the sense that I could really wait for good hands, and try to play well. I really only made one big mistake, of course right at the end, nearly knocking myself out of the money.
Then I came home and started framing the bathroom, until 2am. Then I did some homework. Then I finally went to bed.
Today I continued framing, and now I'm off to do a lab for class.
I'm bored. There's nothing to do.
