The annoying 'sit out' strategy....
Well,... I placed 12th in yesterday's 4Kingpoker freeroll. Yah,.. I was the guy 'sitting out' from 20:00 to 21:10, and when logged back in, had just made it past the bubble and was sitting in 24th of 24 remaining.
It wasn't 'the plan' actually. I had forgotten that I was entered into a cash tourney on PokerStars, and at the time was also playing in another tourney on FT too. Usually, I would just continue to keep the freerolls on my LCD screen, play even tighter than usual (Tight is Right,... 'Super Tight' is 'Super Right'), but had some poor experiences in the other tourney I had going on on Fulltilt, (I got sick of one of the players, his abusive chat, and donkish play with his huge stack,... just didn't have the patience to wait and double up thru him,... and needed to focus my mind for the $$ tourney so I logged off of fulltilt, not even sure if I was even going to log back in there).
So.... it wasn't intentional per say as I wouldn't normally do the 'sitting out' approach (f' that,... I want to continue to take the odd pot down on my way to the bubble). BUT,... seemed to work out just fine (same with on other tourney when I logged back in I was on bubble there,.. and guess what, bigstack donk bully was long gone, hee hee).
Oh yah,.. so when I logged back onto 4King freeroll,.. I was sitting in 24th of 24 and had only 800 chips left,.. less than enough to cover a BB. I woke up with a hand, shoved my measely 800 in and ended up tripling up and taking the antes in that first hand, lol. Within less than 5mins. I was up to over 15,000 in chips. Now why couldn't I have had that kind of luck transpire over into the cash game I was playing, lol.
Ended up taking 12th,.. hee hee,.... DeepchapChopra is the name. Maybe see y'all again on Sunday (or maybe 30 or so of ya's anyways).
GL on the screens.....
