Even with the WSOP and holiday weekend right around the corner, we still managed to get a solid crowd of 48 players out for The Mookie on Full Tilt.  I was looking to get chips or find the rail early as my plan was to step up the aggression.  No more wuss Meekie.

The plan worked well early on as I opened a lot more pots, restole and even 4-bet preflop with the mighty 97s.  I won my first bounty  off of WSOP bound LJ when my KK held up against her QQ.  At the first break I had a healthy stack of around 6,500 chips.

I managed to stay well about average during the 2nd hour and added a couple more bounties to my collection.  Down to the final two tables, I hit my peak of 9,000+.  In the past this is when I would normally tighten up way too much and slowly bleed off chips.  This time around I tried to open and steal as many pots in position as possible.  Unfortunately I got shoved on a few times to knock me back to the bottom of the pack.

Sitting on the final table bubble with 10 players remaining, I kept aggressive by shoving PF early and often.  It works all but once and I couldn’t get the lucky suckout(s) you need in MTTs when my 77 fell to NewinNov’s AA.  That left me with crumbs but I managed to more than quad up the next hand.  Unfortunately I ran T9 into NN’s TT and that was all she wrote for me.  Out in 10th.  Disappointing but I really liked how I played last night.  On the bright side, I think I collected 5 bounties.

Here were the final table participants all gunning for one of the top 6 money spots.

Only 11 brave souls signed up for The Dookie and some Turbo Pot Limit Omaha.  I never got anything going in this tourney.  I backed into the final table with less than 1,000 chips and tried to make a run for the money.

My night ended in 6th place when my QQxx was snapped off by Joanne’s AAxx in a battle of the blinds.

The top 3 spots made the money…

3rd Place – TheCloserX5

2nd Place – DDionysus

1st Place – Pureprophet

Congratulations to Pureprophet on what’s probably his 38th Dookie win.  Thanks to everyone who made it out last night for the tourneys, see you next week.
