The Lucko Big Stack Method (7/97)

About a year ago when we played the first ever Blogger Big Game (BTW, next one is this Sunady at 9:30pm pw:donkey), Lucko showed us all how to kill the table on the bubble with a big stack. Last night at the RiverChasers two of his other multi-accounts (I keed of course) showed us how its done once again. Down to two tables they were pretty much raising every pot. It didn't help much that these two already have TOC seats and could care less about flipping coins to take a shortie out.

I had a different agenda. I had to finish in the top 11 spots and make sure twoblackaces didn't win the thing to guarantee that I had the BBT2 leaderboard first place which awarded the following:



So as you can see I did it. I managed to take 7th which was enough to knock Astin out of the top spot and into his preferred 2nd place position (hehe).

I was delighted to see that two of the top 5 players were not even playing. LuckTruck and Astin were a no show and I knew my game plan was to outlast the chasers and take anything higher than 11th.

On of the first hands I played was QQ in the SB. Jeciimd raised to 120 from the button and the SB called. I popped it to 420 and Jecii was not convinced I actually folded Queens. The he said he doesn't believe my blog either. So this one's for you Jecii:

Some guy I never played with before doubled up on the first hand when he stacked Blinders. He went on to play loose and wild and was getting a little annoying. We eventually took him out, not before he claimed he wanted to meet me to play live. Then he called me son. Then he told us about all his winnings in AC. We Todd Did. What else can I say?

I won't bore you with all the details. All you have to know is that Lucko's buddies were tearing us new ones. Each on his own table. Mag had over 100K on his table and Loretta had about 55K on ours. He was on my right and raising ever hand. Stealing every blind. I had nothing I could push back with so I just bled chips. We merged to one table and Mag the lucksack was just jamming every hand and winning every coin flip. He did double Al up when his AJ could not beat Al's presto.

I eventually jammed the first pocket pair I saw in the last hour and this was the result:



How can these guys run so good for so long?

Anyway, it's pretty interesting that 3 TOC winners were in the final 7 and even funnier that the final 2 were both TOC winners. One less player to contend with, I guess.

OK, wish me luck on Sunday. I am taking that biatch down! No poker till then. Have a good weekend y'all.
