Bar Tourneys

A friend of mine claimed to have a roommate who became a professional bar tourney player. The college bars all have these silly tourneys that are free to enter and give $10 to $50-size prizes for 1st/2nd/3rd. Gift certificates, cheapo electronic toys, whatever. Apparently this guy played EVERY possible bar tourney every night starting at 6pm, run to the next one at 7pm if he busted, run to the 8pm if he busted from that one, back to the first bar for the 9pm start, etc. The claim was this is how he kept himself fed for about three months whilst between jobs.

When I hear people ask if you can win enough to be a professional NL1/2 player, I sometimes giggle and think about this guy.

I think I'd rather shoot myself then do this. ugh.

I guess bar tourneys might not be too bad occasionally as long as you have the attitude that you're just out to have a good time and drink some beer. Unfortunately I'm a competitive sob and I'd get steaming mad when some moron calls my preflop raise with Ax suited and calls my flopped 2 pair with no pair no draw and hits runnner runner flush.
