Lassie Tour Finals - By TroubleD

What can I say but WOW.

At the start of the tournament I got short stacked in a hand with Ani...I had top pair.. lost to her quad 4's. (Don't remember exact cards I had). I was down to 900 chips or less. Fought my way back and get a small stack that I was able to slowly build on as the night went on. As Daisy said...I was able to pull a "Coco" move and why not we, are entitled to do the same when that short stacked. Final hand with Desser was...I had As4s...she had QJ..flop was 8-4-9...turn was a blank...river a blank..She almost straighted out on me. Wow it could've gone either way on that last hand.

I have to say Philman was good about not watching over my shoulder too much. He basically let me play and he was the observer. As he pointed out after wards, that as his student I have come a long way in a year. I started playing poker almost exactly a year ago (right after his son died this time one year ago) prior to that I had never played a hand of poker.

Upon winning, I just couldn't believe I had done it. Phil and everyone tells me that I played strong all night. You want to talk about a rush of adrenaline when you realize that I had won is unreal. I was flying high on the feel for about 2 hours before I could calm down enough to be able to go to bed. I still have to go back and see me bling to make sure it's not a dream. Took a screen shot announcing winner...made it my screen saver...lol.

Haven't decided which of the 3 options Shaggy gave me, that I am going to take.

Want to thank everyone that played in the Lassie Tournament. It was a fun and interesting night. Everyone handled themselves very well last night. See you next season.
