Dead Man Walking
The irony is pretty deep that my first blogger tourney win is in Stud. Insanely deep.
1st, I think stud might be my 6th best game after NLHE, OPL, O8, Razz and Triple Draw (which is not to say I am particularly good at any but the first).
2nd, I almost didn't play this because of the 1st thing and the fact that it started so late.
Perhaps not unrelated to the 1st thing, I got CJ-level luck at several spots.
Extra sweet as it capped a very good Sunday at the FT NL 100 tables, pushing me over the top today recovering from yesterday's beating and capping my best month since last September. Although as I said to Mrs. SoxLover, it wasn't about the cash, it was about the glory.
It was a blast, thanks especially to Mrs. SoxLover, my Auzzie railbird, and Flux for their moral support at the end.
Good timing to Katitude for getting my awesome new banner up just in time for I hope a few extra hits brought about by this fluke.

Excellent job! Guess NY wasn't dead afterall.
Nice win. Keep up the winning ways.
congrats on the win! and glad u like the banner :-)
Now, please add me to your blog roll (should have done it when I had your code *grin)
Rockin'.
Now all we have to do is explain how I managed to make the final table. I blame raising gas prices.
Great work, Sox. I railed you earlier this weekend as well as you kicked some guy's ass in a $50 heads-up nlhe tourney. Congrats on the big weekend man.
Nice win...I gave you a ton of chips...I should have believed the power of the Soxman...
Congrats ! Awesome job.
Congrats!
Thank you everyone.
Stb: yeah, I forgot to mention in my hurried post how your trash talking re other NY bloggers forced me to defend the honor of New York--still GO SOX! OK, go Mets too!
Kat: I was in the process of adding you to my blogroll last night when the table got short and I had to focus on making the deck explode on me. Then I made a marginal decision to go to sleep.
Today, I was unable to get your new banner to link back to the home page, so I added a clever new monopoly link which also fills in some annoying space. Thanks again.
Good job, Dude!
congrats sox! i'd like to think that my comment propelled you to victory. :)
Nice work. I knew that StB had lit a fire under you with the NY dis!
Very nice finish and very nice banner. Kat rocks. I like the little home picture too.
The blog is very clean now...that's good stuff...
For the record, SoxLover is a damn poseur from New Jersey. Real New Yorkers live in New York.
Grats on the win, JerseyBoy. (Ah, and I know what's coming...)
First off, congrats on the Stud win (you..stud you!? - hmm..just sounds wrong).
And the new banner is so appropriate!
Well done, sir. I am glad that my chips helped you.
Great job Sox. Sorry I missed it.
