I mentioned in my previous post that the year-end freeroll tournament in Weatherford is coming up this weekend. However, local weather looks to be pretty bad starting Friday and icy conditions are predicted for Saturday. So, the group elected to move the tournament up to Thursday instead of pushing it back a week since we have some guys who qualified but cannot make it at the end of January.
I was hoping to get a little more practice in before the big tournament, but that's not going to happen. Another variable with moving the date so close to when we play is that one of the players who qualified in 2025 has now moved to Abilene and he is a maybe for Thursday night. However, he did give his blessing to move it. He said he would do his best to make it.
Going into this year's tournament, I am sixth in chips out of ten players. Even if Wes B. doesn't show up for the tournament, I am still sixth in chips. Having to only compete against eight opponents would be fantastic, but I feel confident I can succeed even if all ten of us show up.
The top prize for first place this year is $1,400. Sixth place will receive $55 and everyone below that just gets a lotto ticket. I'm really hoping I can take home the championship this year, but it will be the hardest year yet as I don't think I've ever been this low on chips compared to the other players.
I am going to have to make some moves to gather chips and the good news is I am at a soft table to start. Hopefully I can accumulate a few extra chips before we combine at nine players. I'll post next week with results and some hands that I play throughout the tournament.
