Saturday night I played in a free poker tourney of about twenty people. They have it at a pizzeria in Atlanta. Anyway, it was a fun night. I got second place. Walker called me at the start of a hand and I hold him I had to call him back. During that hand I knocked out two short stacks at the table. I had pocket nines against their pocket threes and pocket fours. I eventually knocked out a couple of other people with some good hands, great calls, and one ballzy all-in. I'll describe the all-in situation. (Walker's heard all this already. Sorry I don't have anything else to share Walks.) So, I had pocket jacks on the big-blind. I raised the pot when the option came to me. This girl next to me called me a jerk because of it, and then raised after the flop (3, Q, 8 of misc. suites). I didn't want anyone to catch and I also knew this girl had nothing and that she raised out of spite, so I went all-in. As expected the pissed off girl folded. But her friend called me. I cringed as she flipped over pocket eights. So, it was her trip eights to my pocket jacks. But a jack came up on the turn, giving me the pot, and knocking her out of the tourney. I was the chip leader for awhile too. My food was picked by the pizzeria and I won $15 for placing second. Oh yeah, they gave us some free beer too. Last night was fun.

Prayer request: I need a vehicle and am having difficulty finding the right one. I ask for your help in praying that God will provide and that I won't get impatient. I am finding it difficult to wait for God's timing.
