There's a first time for everything !

I only play Freezeout No Limit Hold'em.

Rebuys reward bad play, Omaha is ridiculous and the way the guy with the worst card showing has to open the betting in 7 card stud is just annoying, as is the fact that it is basically a limit game.

So tonight a miracle happened in that I enjoyed a game of 7 card stud, finishing 3rd in the end in a field of 183 having led for a good while before and during the final table. It was a freeroll on Full Tilt sponsored by InsidePoker magazine, with the winner getting a $4500 package to Vegas for a WSOP tournament (won by VoiceofJoe of PuntersLounge).

The final table of eight all won entry to a live game in London in early June, and the winner of that wins a $12,000 package to the WSOP main event. There are 5 such qualifiers (this was the 4th) based on the H.O.R.S.E. games so the live final should only have a mximum of 45 players as some are 9 seat FT's.

And the game to be played in London ? Just as well I only play Freezeout No Limit Hold'em .....
