As you may have gathered elsewhere on the site, HPC runs a private Monday night SnG on Full Tilt. Since I have a recurring tourney set up there, despite the tourney being listed to occur I didnt really anticipate anyone actually showing up on Jan 7. Nevertheless for some reason I registered mid-afternoon (its an 8:30pm event), just in case anyone wanted to play. Of course what I had forgotten is that we had plans to go out to dinner for my brother in laws birthday! 9pm arrives and we are just getting home when I remember the tourney started 30 mins ago. I dash inside to find that there was 3 entrants to make a valid tourney – Vegas and Eeyeo had registered. Vegas had already busted but I still had about 900 in chips and immediately started typing apologies into the chat box. Of course, I then went on to win … after a few dozen hands jabbing and weaving as the short stack, I got it all in with TT vs 99, and crippled Eeyeo. Amazingly enough I picked up TT again the next hand and this time won vs 86o 
I hope the moral of this story isnt that I play better when not actually at the table! A strange start to 2008, hopefully it will get better from there. The HPC games have been fun in the last few months of 2007 – I am planning to start up the first HPC league in March, details will be on the forum.
