MCFC 1 :: DAY 1

MCFC 1 is off and running ...
DP being the degen that he is started playing at the stroke of midnight.
I would have as well .. but I was exhausted from tailgating at the Bills game and standing in the constant drizzle for 8 hours ... I was soaked and intoxicated !!!

GOOD TIMES (other than the Bills losing to the 49ers)

The action is fast flowing and here's an update on where we stand.

Note that we'll be playing at odd hours and the bankrolls will be quite fluid, so this is a mere snapshot at a point in time.

DP:

On the drive back from Buffalo, I was saying how I had a likely uphill climb to catch up to DP.
I knew he'd play right away and likely luckbox his way to a nice profit and lead in the challenge.
A HUGE smile came to my face when I read his email titled "DP's already behind".
[ Yes, he's earned to right to refer to himself in 3rd person acronym format ... as Digable Planet would say ... he's cool like dat]
He started off winning a heads up tourney to bring the bankroll to $71.
Then he got greedy!
The self-proclaimed Razz Machine lost quite a bit of his roll.

Starting Bankroll: $50
Current Bankroll: $6.90

GC:

I started with a conservative approach playing $5 heads up SNGs.
I tried them out on a trial run prior to the challenge and ran good.
The play is utterly horrid with people shoving their stacks at small blinds ... 70BB shoves PF with 22/33/A6 are COMMON.
People shove on the flop with no hand/no draw ... ("nh sir")
I've won 4 straight $5 SNGs (only 2 counting in the challenge) and a $10 heads up SNG.
I'm not a good heads up player but I pwn these donks!
I've played some 0.10/0.25NL but got bored pretty quickly.
Not a bad start.

Starting Bankroll: $50
Current Bankroll: $70.60


DC:

We get to Mr Luckbox.
He decided to play some cash games (25NL) and boy, did he run good!
Let's just say the majority of the money got in on the river with the board reading:

[4d 5d Ks] [7d] [2c]

The villain in this hand figured he had the nuts with Ad Kd.
That would be a valid assumption right?
But noooooooooooooooooo ...........
DC is in "God mode" and shows up with 8d 6d ... which is also known as the NUTS BABY!!
Big pot for DC who doubles up and takes the early lead.
I don't feel so bad that he lost with AA All In Pre Flop (AIPF) to 33 in his 6-man SNG.
Of course the 3 flops and cracks his AA!!
He's still off to an early lead.

Starting Bankroll: $50
Current Bankroll: $86.85
