Well here it is my final night at the Derby...I placed 7th round in banks and slept through my first 1p match...bummer(damn save feature on the I phone alarm).
I made my quiet exit in the 3rd round of 1p thanks to Robert Frost. Action treated me kindly and I came out ahead. Plenty of laughs and shared stories with Kentucky Bill, Miller, Cincy Kid, Cory DC, Bernie, Steve Booth, Mitch, and of course the best talker I know, roomie Fast Eddie. I apologize if I missed anyone and please call me out on it!!!

Biggest lesson learned is the need to grind even when you think you have the game well in hand.

Wishing you all next year of pleasant rolls and fat pockets.

I got to talk with Mike quite a bit and he knows the game of one pocket in my opinion. Congrats on a nice finish.

Thanks Eddie...you're a great story teller. Thanks for sharing. And don't think I forgot about the $2.85.

Hope to see you again soon. Stay well and don't forget you're supposed to drop 30 large by the next time I see you.

I think that's what scares me most about you, LOL...no negotiating, you ask for a spot, you got it! Take care until next time Mike!

Come to think of it I've always kind of been that way...looking for the challenge and then trying to overcome it. Adjustments have always worked both ways:D
