The second bi-ennual tri annual On The Rail tournament took place tonight on Virgin and a fun time was had by all!

Even me. And I sucked.

I think at one point I won the blinds…that was pretty exciting. The rest of the time I was handily pushed around by a whole variety of people who saw the great big bullseye on my back in the form of the bounty I was carrying.

All the moves I tried to make early failed. A theme which was continued after the early bits (I can’t call it middle that would be an exaggeration). By the end I was down to 9 big blinds. I decided I was shoving with anything decent. The problem with having a bounty is you’re not getting many bets through!

A couple of spots out of the blinds I found A diamonds 4 diamonds and the money was going in!
Of course I was getting called in a big way – with a Newcastle seat on my head. I think after the board had run out I was beaten about 14 different ways!!!! I finished 42 out of 53…there I’ve said it; impressive huh! Still it was all about giving a bit back …which I did in laughs to those playing and railing!

Of course the worst thing about the entire debacle was that Kara won our last longer! Couldn’t help noticing how quickly she went out after that … almost as if it was her only aim!

The tournament went great – thanks to Virgin and well done to seses, HectorMcG for claiming the bounties from Kara and me. Well done to the cashing players – black28, Wils14, MrCrown1, bozponty, Farse, KAZIPOP, HectorMcG (again!), teaulc1, EMS_rico3 and especially well done to overall winner joyjoy.

Look forward to seeing the seat winners and as many of the rest of you as possible in Newcastle.

We’ll definitely do more tournaments and look at the possibility of an On The Rail league in future.

I’m off to relearn this no limit holdem mullarkey….
