Another Second Place at BWW

There is no room for second place.

-Vince Lombardi

In a sense, that's true. But sometimes, second isn't all that bad. When you're competing in a points event, consistency is the key. Just look at NASCAR. The championship usually isn't won by the person who wins the most races, but rather by the person who consistently finishes close to the front.

We had just enough folks at Buffalo Wild Wings last night to place everyone in the second column of the points table. With the Braves playing a home playoff game, Georgia Tech playing at home, and the weather being crappy, we were eight regular players short, meaning we all basically started out at the final table. There were nine of us, and I finished second. Bryant's friend (and mine) Tommy finished third. I had the win in hand until my opponent sucked out on me twice in a row for the win.

I'll be back at the Loafing Leprechaun on Tuesday, trying to rack up more points. I may have to find a different place to play than BWW, because so far there haven't been enough folks there to make the points payout worth it. I need to find a tourney with 30-40 players, and BWW just doesn't have that kind of traffic.
