i wanted a watch
June 5, 2010I’ve been grinding pretty hard this last week. I’ve been busy till about 4 every day this week, but from there I’ve been playing everything I can. I usually 15-25 table MTTs, stopping with the Turbo Hundo on FTP. I had a few bad days, but I ran pretty well yesterday (winning a WSOP seat and getting 2nd in the $117 superturbo for $5k) which more than made up the difference.
I played the MSOP limit hold ‘em and made the final table. The winner of each MSOP event gets a “special edition watch.” I have no idea if that watch is any different than one I could buy in the points store, but I want one. I like the idea of getting a prize. As threeven put it, it’s something to show your mom. Online winnings, so often, aren’t tangible. Numbers in an account, really. I don’t think most people even get checks anymore. I like the idea of getting your picture taken with your winning hand, getting a trophy, or even just getting some silly watch FTP will give you. It’s the pageantry.
Anyways, I got 5th. So fuck that.
Best of luck everyone,
David
