Going All-In Blind During The First Hand Of A Huge Poker Tournament Is Certainly One Way To Live Life

All in without even looking at the cards? What a blockhead. How'd it work out for ya, donk? Well...

Amazing. Actually, super spectacularly batshit lucky stuff, but amazing. K8o > 83o(?????). Yup. We explain more into it here (s/o Pokernews) 

The cojones on the gentleman who, for some batshittier reason, CALLED BLIND in a $1.1K/$300K guaranteed tournament is some serious legendary shit. I, as any normal functioning human, would probably take a peak at the cards first. But we'll take it. Other than being told not to film anymore and warned a penalty, I'd say it worked out alright. 

As for the tournament overall, we were cruising Day 1 to 160K in chips with an hour left until cashing, woke up with KK, and ran into someone with AA and was left for dead with 20K in chips remaining. Not ideal for poker. Or life. But we someway, somehow found a way into Day 2 and into the money…

Day 2 featured 91 returning players into the money (down from 741 total) with everyone gunning for $130K+ up top. I had 66K (about 8 blinds) and put on an absolute short stacking clinic for about 4.5 hours before we jammed our 99 with 12 bb left into the eventual champion who had AA. I was pretty darn happy with the way I played as we never got over 20bb on Day 2. Twas not meant to be. But GeneralSpanks satellited into the $1.1K tournament online for $100 and we took 33rd for around 3K. I've had better, but I've certainly had worse.

For reference (that has zero meaningful reference whatsoever), 2015 WSOP Main Event Champion Joe McKeehon was sitting to my direct left for a lot of Day 2 with HEAPS and he finished in 49th. Me no math good, but 33rd > 49th. Am I now the better poker player? Who's to say? Other than reality, of course (full results below).
