$40 live tourney

So I went and played a $40 live tourney tonight at my friend Johns' house... 17 people, 1st paid $300, 2nd $200, 3rd $100 and 4th for $40... it was a good tourney started around 7 and ended right before midnight... yours truely won it... It has been so long since I have won a live tourney! I tell you what, this is a good feeling... I am not like bouncing off the walls, but I played very calm and when I made a mistake early and dumped half my large stack off to a guy I just let it go and played my game the best I could... But I do have to tell you about 2 hands... so we are at final table I think we are 8 maybe 9 handed at this point, the final table started with 10. The blinds are 1k/2k, 1 guy limps, large guy dont know his name, Paul limps, Tracy limps and the sb limps, I look down at 83 clubs and check, 10k in pot preflop, flop is q 3 3 rainbow, sick i know, so sb checks, I check, everyone else does too... turn, 3, sb bets out $2500 at a 10k pot, I give him this quizicle look and say, " $2500 into a $10k pot?" he kinda shrugs and Paul who isnt in hand is like chuckling at me and agreeing... so I smooth call, now the big guy down on the end PUSHES all in and he has monster stack, I am drooling inside saying please call SB PLEASE, at this point I have them both on the Q, and they are drawing dead, so anyhow the sb folds I insta call and flip my hand I have quads of course, he has 66... are you kidding me... lol so I take down like a $150 pot, I had around $70k when hand started, I think... anyhow...

HEADS UP

We go to heads up and I think I am at least 3 to 1 dog in chips, I doubled up 1st hand, I had 99 he had Ax my hand held... 3 hands later I get 66 on the button and go all n he calls with k9 off, board 674, turn a 7 river 10 game over... I scoop $300. so $260 profit... I feel really good about this I havent won a live event in over a year, I dont feel like I am king shit god of poker fuck yeah I won good, but I am appreciating the chance to have won a tourney. I must admit it is nice being really calm about the win...

Till next time
