Okay, time for a break from the baby report to talk about something else: US! We both were playing poker today. The first tournament we entered was a $500 Bonus Dollar tournament. (Bonus dollars accumulate in your account and as you play real money games, these dollars are released to you – slowly.) This first picture is a shot of the leaderboard at one point in the game (not early in the game either). At one point the leader is a user by the name of ‘n1kita‘. That user is my beloved Nikki! That’s right…she was LEADING the pack. This tourny started out with 2500 (!!!!) players. I didn’t do that good.

Alright, so, the tournament continues. As the 2500 players are whittled down, one-by-one they fall, until only 10 remain. These 10 competitors will form the Final Table. ‘n1kita‘, while no longer having chip lead, is still a presence and has progressed to the final table. This is her first time at a final table. (I still haven’t been that fortunate!)

So, this is a shot of the final outcome of the tournament. Nikki finished in EIGHTH PLACE!!!! That is AWESOME! She beat out 2492 other players!

We also played in another tournament for 5000 Ultimate Points. I lasted all of two hands before busting out on that one. Nic lasted longer, but was still out of it long before that above tourny ended.

Okay, it’s not all about Nikki though. Just before dinner I entered into a $5+.50 Sit ‘N Go tournament. Myself and 5 others sat down for a game of cards where the top 2 players walk away with some cash. First place takes home $21 and second wins $9. It was an interesting tournament. I certainly didn’t play as strong as I probably should have. There were many pots that I folded out of that would have seen me gather chips at an even faster rate. This little match lasted about 45 minutes. The screenshot shows how well I did!

There were a couple extra screenshots in this post showing the first place standing and the final table screenshot however I couldn’t get the damn post formatted so that it showed all the pictures properly. Grr. Stupid HTML.
