All right, so I have to be home from 1-3 this afternoon for the cable guy to come over and make my box work again. I resist the urge to play poker precisely because I don't want him to show up in the middle of a SNG. About 2:15, a chick calls and says the guy will be late, they aren't sure how late, but that they will call when he is on his way.
Okay, so it's 45 minutes from the window I was given expiring and he's gonna be late, so I have an hour to play one. Ladada, going along, and we get down to 3. Good times. Then the guy shows up! I didn't get a call! So I hurry to let him in, show him the TV and tell him to have fun on his own for a few minutes cuz I gotta finish something.
We are still at 3 in the SNG, he calls me out because we need an extension cord, so I have to sit out the tourney and get one that is in the backyard from some fence work I was doing. Haul that in, it's 3 pronged but the wall only takes two. Find the other extension cord, plug it in, run back to the computer, where I am still in it, in the BB with
. Hit the "I'm back" button just in time to reraise the SB all in, he calls with
. Double up, stay alive, but I gotta go back out there.
Just for a few seconds though, and I am back, blinds are big, 300/600 50 ante, so no screwing around. I am all in with
versus pocket 5s. 5s guy hits a set on the flop, so I leave the room. Cable guy asks me a couple questions, then I have to go back to a different room to get something.
On the way, I look in and I'm still sitting at the table! "Why am I still here?" I type in chat. "U hit the runner runner flush," comes the response.
At this point I am able to play out the SNG. Get heads up, but down like 1400 chips to 11,200. Get to be the chip leader! By like 25 chips, though. Blinds so big it's ridiculous. End up all in with K6 against 5-5 again, don't win the race which means Stars is rigged, nevermind those previous hands, and finish 2nd.
And it's like 105 degrees, so now I need a shower.
