The Battle of the Bloggers Part Deux series just finished up tournament number three last night at Full Tilt. Over one hundred players for a mid-week private blogger tourney? The Mookie is one of the more popular poker blogger stops during the week for us to get together and call each other names while getting in a little tournament play on the side.

Normally five or six people reach the money, but last night a record 112 writing donkeys showed up to pay 18 spots and give away a seat on the Tournament of Champions Aussie Millions Freeroll.

Myself, I was well into the hunt of making a final table and a cash last night, but I ran into some fancy play syndrome when I forced myself to be pot committed while on the bubble with a mediocre hand. A8 was my waterloo as I tried to isolate a frequent raiser who had an extremely short stack and could be pushing with any two cards. But, the eventual champ, the blogfather himself , Iggy woke up with Kings right behind me and they held up to get everyone into the money and leaving me with the sour taste of a loss that I donked my way into.

Another chance at the yellow brick road to Oz happens again tonight in the weekly Riverchasers tourney, see AlCantHang's page for details.
