Dakota-xx's 20k Post Tournament

Well I just got back from a great dinner at a nice little restaurant here in Norfolk, Va. It's called the 501 Bistro. They have and amazing breakfast selection there and we decide to hit it up for dinner too. I had the Meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes, fried onions, and broccoli. My wife got the prime rib dinner with gouda mashed potatoes and a Margaretta. They both were pretty fantastic.

At the top of the hour I'm going to play in one of the Card Chat tournaments. They have them every once in a while. Some for special occasions and some just for the hell of it. Tonight one of the members is having it for reaching her 20k post on the forum (that's one hell of a lot of posts!!). It's a $3.30 tournament and she has thrown in a couple extra bonuses. The person who knocks her out tonight gets an extra $20 and if you win a hand with 10-2 you get a buck. It should be fun. I'm going to make a video of it and try and post it up here if anyone wants to watch. Hopefully its a long video and I make it all the way to the top. Once I finally get done with it, I'll see what I have to do to put it up on here. I'd like to see if I can do it embedded (Like youtube or something) if not I'll just have to have it downloadable. Well wish me luck.


Update:
Well I held my own for a little while. I had a couple 10-2 hands, so the tournament is only gunna cost me $1.30. I got knocked down pretty low with this hand:

I ended up going out in 11th. 9th place was the cut off so I got pretty close, but just couldn't make it. It was a lot of fun though and I'm gunna try and do more of those CC paid tournaments. It's fun playing against good people.

Oh I don't think I'll be able to post a video of it at all, it's giving me some crazy error. I"m gunna open up ubuntu and see if I can get it going over there. Good night everyone.
