5 pound burger

http://twitpic.com/15i8qz

There are several pictures of the beast. We made it using 5 pounds of ground beef and 2 cans of biscuits. We started cooking the beef in a bundt pan, which oddly enough, held 5 pounds of ground beef nearly perfectly. After a while, we took it out of the pan and turned up the heat.

Noms!

Took down a Limit Omaha High only MTT tonight

Results

38 players in, $10 prize pool, only top 3 paid. So yeah, 3 hours of work for $5.

To be honest, I really didn't try early and was just goofing off. Somewhere along the line, I built up a huge lead. At the final table, I floated from 2nd to 4th. When we were three handed, chip leader had about 40k and the other player and I were sharing the other 26k.

I took a couple of bad hits, but kept at it. I almost had the chip lead 3 handed when I flopped a set of Kings vs a set of 3s. The river put a spade flush on the board, and I had two baby spades. He had a bigger flush and took it down.

I stayed patient and selectively aggressive. We got to heads up, and I had 39k to his 36k. A few hands later I had 45k, then a few hands after that I had 67k. The next hand ended it.

I qualified for the Ring Event, now I have to figure out what that is.

Took a shot

There were a lot of higher level LO8 players on Stars tonight. I've been doing pretty good at the 3/6 full ring cash games, and I watched a 5/10 game for a while. I decided to take a shot at it.

Wow. The level of play went over my head. There were moves being made, but I had no clue what they were. I didn't know if a raise was a steal or a trap. I might have been giving a little too much credit but watching some of the hands that were getting to the river was pretty revealing.

I was able to see more of what was going on, since I could see the hands that were mucked on the river. I believe with enough time and patience, I could squeeze out a small profit at this level. However, I believe that the bigger edge I have at 3/6 means that I would make more money at the lower levels.

I bought in for $200 and cashed out for $143.50. I had a few hands that I missed on the river and one of them would have been a huge scoop that would have given me a winning session. I took my shot and fell short. I'll try again another day.

I did earn a lot of VPPs at the 5/10 table, and now have some numbers to look at for my comparison of the new rewards program vs the old ones.
