  • Too much too much…

    Poker on Thursday took me out in an aggravating manner. I played smart, waiting and waiting, surviving on twenty dollars, then going out buying back only once going up a bit but just staying in there, then poof, I don’t even remember how, I lost.

    But not these guys. Gable won big. He’s consistent, almost too consistent, and yet he keeps coming up in the black, so what do I know.

    Jim stayed in it, won one big hand and just cruised.

    And angus just made his mony back off of me in the end. It might have been trips against a flush.

    Today, the sylvan stark combo ran the table for most of the game. The first time I played a hand was queens against johns jacks, only to lose to a jack on the rivro. And that’s the way the day went. Losing forty. I had queens to liz’s aces later.

    In the end, cry baby rutkoff became happy rutkoff as his last buy back (minus forty) made him the biggest winner of the day, taking a bit over forty profit.

    Liz and Derek take about fifty each.

    Althea came late and left with seventeen.

    I even left with 13, down forty.

    Everyone left, except john and me. We were both down a bit, so we decided to play a two out of three tourney (twenty dollars each game) sixty dollar game. I won the first one. From down forty, I went to up twenty. It happened faster than we thought, so we played again. I lost this time. So then we played again, this time for fifty. I won again, going back to up ten. Which I layed on the line and won. Now up twenty, I laid it down again and won again for an up forty end of the night.

    I win.

    Off broke john.

    I am now overall up forty dollars. Well done. Sorry I took your money john, but im glad I beat you in poker.
