Faldo Makes Two Final Tables Almost at the Same Time!

Fighting one of the worst headcolds ever, all I can do is sleep....and play poker on-line.

Using the Zicam, tea, chicken soup, Vicks and sleep approach gets me feeling good enough to sit up for a while.

I have a set up of four laptops in a semi-circle here at NPP. How I ended up with four is a story unto itself (maybe I will tell in the comment section if somebody is interested). And no, they are not set up for porn, porn, porn-porn chat and email/poker/porn.

I know that the cold will be back to hurt me in just a little while, so time is of the essence.

I decide that if I am going to play poker - lets play some poker! So I get in five tourneys at once.

From left to right I got Absolute Poker, Full Tilt, Poker Stars (2 tourneys) and Ultimate Bet.

I make the breaks everywhere but one Poker Stars tourney, then lose the other Poker Stars tourney and get bubble boyed on Ultimate Bet.

I make the final table on Full Tilt (180 players), and finish 5th when my (AK) loses to (JJ). I pick up ten times my entry.

Then almost at the same time, I limp into the final table on Absolute (400 players). I proceed to panic all-in bad beat the table 3 times, while the big stacks knock each other out! I am out-chipped by a gazillion when finally my (A3) fails to hold up and I finish 4th, picking up seven times my entry.

I might be on to something. There was no time to wonder around and look at emails, blogs or TV with that many games going. I had to get into the zone and actually concentrate a little.

Hey, anybody got a laptop they are not using that I can 'borrow'?

I don't want your germs all over my laptop...but good job.

An interesting Pokerstars happening for me the other night. A guy in a 10/25 Omaha cash game I was playing in loses a big pot and calls the winner the "N" word through chat with creative spelling. Within 15 seconds a pokerstars moderator broke in and told the offenders (there was 2 guys going at it) to calm down and I think shut down the chat on the "n" word guy. The instant response shows some class on the part of pokerstars, even though they can still go and "f" themselves, right Herb?

By the way props to Herb for jumping back in the NPP with immediate success, you can always look for him at the end of the game.

Matchy, you are too kind.

Next time we are heads up, I'll fold a winner.
