Richard Brodie is Bad Luck

By Ed Brayton

Yes, it's another poker story. This one took place online on Saturday, playing online at Full Tilt Poker. I only play poker online once in a while but decided Saturday to log on in the morning while I was working on some other things on my computer (I actually play better online if I'm working on one or two other things at the same time; it keeps me from getting impatient).

So I log on Saturday morning and got hot. Really hot. Bought in at a $1/$2 no limit table and won just over $1,000 in about an hour and a half of play. So late Saturday night I decided to log back in and I jumped into a $20 tournament with a guaranteed $11,000 prize pool. We started with about 265 players, paying 27 places. First place paid about $3300.
