Full House For Cutie

I decided to play in an online poker tournament for the first time in ages (freeroll, of course). I quickly realized they had completely ruined the format when i saw that the SMALL blind was half of my stack. Blinds were 60-100, and we started with 120. For some unexplicable reason, i was small blind the first hand, and then big blind the second hand. Obviously, i was forced all-in on the big blind, but i won, so i actually had some chips to work with. After i won a couple more hands, this turned into me playing in a real live tournament. Brad Marquis was sitting next to me, and we seemed to leap frog across the table somehow. I had developed a healthy chipstack, and i was stacking them like Howard Lederer (known for stacking his chips very very high), but i kept knocking them over. I got my favorite hand (QT), so i raised pre-flop. I got 3 callers, caught trip queens on the flop, so i checked. I caught the 10 on the river, so i made a small bet hoping someone would raise me. Someone did, but he raised me about 8 times my bet. He looked a lot like James Salini (random guy from high school who started working at blockbuster shortly after i quit). I was about to re-raise when i woke up.

I was on the road with Ryan Christian (buddy from church). We stopped at Denny's. He ate; i didn't. We continued on the road after i found some pixy stix. I don't really remember anything else.

I think my online poker tournament turned into a live tournament because i'm so used to playing live now. My sister thinks i should go on a road trip with Ryan before he gets married.
