More poker.

Edited 3:30am:

The poker tourney was a bust. I bluffed all my chips away about 30 minutes in to somebody I should have known could not be pushed off a hand, no matter how weak - with my As9s I re-raised a weak player's weak bet on a flop of 3-5-7 (he called), then when the 8 showed up on the turn (giving me a gutshot straight draw), I pushed all in, knowing 100% he had a very weak hand and even if he had top pair on the flop it's a tough call. With out hesitation, and to my disgust he calls with 10-5! I was unhappy he called, but I still had lots of outs - any A,9, or 6 and I am gold. The river was a duck, and I was 4th out, after nearly doubling up on the first hand. The idiot player eventually gave away all his chips 10 minutes later, calling an all-in bet on the river with A-9 on a board of K-K-Q-6-10 with 3 diamonds and heavy betting throughout. Unreal! His opponent showed K high flush. People were shocked, but I wasn't suprised..and was left muttering, of course he called that, the bastard never folds!

Ah well, it was kind of fun, and I did win a Duke Ellington C.D. in the raffle. Jetboy put in a good showing, outlasted me, but was caught in a tough spot, with 8-8 against Q-Q preflop. The Q on the flop didn't help matters much.

No English soccer this weekend because of the international friendly......arghhh! Another Saturday morning ruined!
