It's time for one of my favorite past times playing an online multi table tournament while watching a sporting event. Tonight on tap we have Game 6 of the Stars vs. Sharks game, a five dollar tournament on full tilt, a 6 pack of Killians Irish Red and a full bag of Ritz toasted sour cream and onion, and a long night ahead of me. Hopefully the bitching of bad beats and bad hockey from the Stars will be kept to a minimum.
8:17- Our first shot of Mike Grier for the Sharks, whose famous for anytime anyone brings up black people and hockey always gets his name mentioned.
I always wonder how hockey goalies are sooooo quick with their glove and can pick up the puck that fast. I would wet myself if I had a 100 mph frozen piece of rubber coming at me and they just pick it up with their hand.
8:22- The first penalty of the game goes to San Jose for hitting Mike Ribiero in the head as he's about to tap in the sure goal. Nothing is more frustrating then having someone from the other team ruin a sure goal then only having to sit in the box for two minutes. They should determine the punishment based on what the penalty cost the other team.
8:24- AA in the poker tourney......pick up 210 in chips and the Stars all over the sharks right now. All over them.
8:30- One of my favorite things about playing online poker is looking around the table at all the different names that people play under and trying to figure out why they decided on that name. Always fun.
8:40- Hockey is without question the sport I would be worse at.....they do stuff on skates I can't do on my own feet, like when someone pushes me I fall down. Chip count is at 1,255. Not good.
8:44- I always feel like hockey has the biggest bandwagon fans when it comes to the playoffs. Any hockey fan I know is either extremely hardcore or jumps on their favorite team's bandwagon as soon as the playoff starts and yes I am in the latter.
8:46- What a save by Marty Turco! Too bad he can't save the run of cards I'm on.
8:47- First intermission: time to switch to the Cubs Cardinals game on ESPN with the lovely Jon Miller and Joe Morgan and open that first Killians.
8:52- Gotta love the people who talk trash playing online tournaments, it's always fun to picture some 25 year old sitting behind his 4 monitors with his sunglasses on typing angrily at people he doesn't know who obviously don't realize that he plays poker for a living. Then you ask him if he's such a big winner all the time why he's playing a 5 dollar tournament and you never get a response.
8:58- Taken out of the tourney on a horrendous bad beat. I hate hearing bad beat stories so I'm just going to keep my mouth shut, lets just say its caused me to quickly finish the first beer and start on the second.
9:02- Headline telling us that Cedric Benson had a rough day on a boat. It involved alot of pepper spray and drunkeness on Benson's part. Sounds like the end of my night tonight if the Stars don't pull it off and I decide to play another tournament.
