Jocks and Jills (sports bar) moved their free holdem tourney to Wednesdays. That's ok, I guess. The other place I play is on Wed. too. I just have to pick one. Well, I went to Jocks and Jills. Because of the new day there were way less people, 11. No prob, the #'s will pick up. It lasted until 11:00pm. Started at 7:30 like normal. I got 2nd. Despite me best finish yet I'm upset that I didn't win. I played great for awhile. But I started playing sloppy. I think this guy got pissed and kept raising because I called his outrageous bluff.

So, I picked up a pair of aces on the flop. I played it safe and we checked to the river. There were three connecting cards for a straight chance for someone. I only had my aces. After the river he bet 15,000. A huge bet considering we checked the whole time. I thought about the straight chance but the way he checked made me think it was a bluff. I've played this guy before and he'll bet as soon as he can. If he had caught that straight he would have bet already. So I called, beat his high-card, and took over as chip leader. But I kept loosing hands after that. His constant raises and my bad hands got me down to 30,000. I went all-in with A-10 non-suited. He asked how much I had looked me over. And he then called. He had K-K. His hand came up alot all night. It was usually on an all-in too. And it kept getting beat. Until I played his K-K. All low-mid cards. Oh well. I got a $25 gift-card. And more points towards the big tourney. In the past five times I've played in a tourney I placed (in this order) 3rd, 4th, 7th, out within 15 minutes, and 2nd. I know if I cleaned up my game I could get 1st, alot.
