PSO League Event #3

Had another solid finish in the PSO League tonight, taking 3rd place again. I really wanted to win this one, but it was not to be. For most of the tourney, I was below average in chips, but finally had a nice double-up with AQo vs A9o. I sucked out big time once at the final table, with a runner-runner flush, which gave me a nice stack of chips, but went pretty card-dead after that and coasted into third place. Had AA once the whole tourney when it was down to three, but MathP wouldn't fall for my trap. Finally pushed with a pair + flush draw, but waited until the turn after taking a free card on the flop. Unfortunately, the free card filled up my opponent's gutshot straight :(

For the overall league prizes, because of the scoring system it doesn't really matter whether you win an event or not, as long as you place high. They take your best 5 of 8 finishes, but the scoring system is linear, not top-heavy, plus the scores don't vary at all with the number of players in the tourney. Thus, the overall winner will likely be someone who consistently finishes deep, but probably might not even win a single event! Kind of strange, really, to declare someone like that the "winner", but that's the way the system is, so that's the strategy I'll have to take.

Anyway, I promised a review of Cake Poker, so I'm gonna work on that tonight. It should be up before I go to bed.
