I know I shouldn't have called your raise with 10-3 suited, but if you'd been hitting every hand like I was, you probably would have done the same thing. It's a crappy excuse but there it is. Please feel better knowing that I went out on the money bubble so I made exactly the same amount of money you did - ha! I HATE THAT!!
Bryan (organizer's son who only plays once in a blue moon because of his work schedule) raised to my right. I had K-K. I went over the top as I had him covered & just wanted him to fold. He went all-in. He had A-K hearts and hit his flush, so I was down to only 1500 with blinds of 500-1000. I made a pretty good comeback to about 8500 and went all-in with A-8 hearts and hit an 8, but my opponent hit top pair & a flush draw with Q-9 diamonds. He hit his flush, but it didn't matter because his queen was good enough. Phooey.
I hope you enjoyed the tournament even though you didn't get to play too long. It only happens once a month so I'm not sure how often you would be able to play, but I would be happy to provide Steve with your email if you want me too. I think the next tournament will be on July 10. It's always at 2:00 p.m. and you always get 3000 chips. If you come by 1:30 you get an extra 500 chips & if you bring 2 cans of food you get another 500 chips. Sometimes you will get extra chips for doing various things, like wearing a football jersey or whatever. There is always some kind of theme. It's just fun & not so much pressure & I basically do it to donate to the food bank because Lord knows I never win! I did get 2nd once. My goal is to get on the wall of fame because I'm already on the wall of shame.
Oh & I got a nice new hammer for high hand to go with my handy dandy wrench. LOL.

For some reason the comment I posted yesterday did not print. No problem with your play Lynne, I would have done the same, except for the check raise on the flop bet. I would want to test the water for the made flush at that point rather than check call to face a possible free card check. I did the math on the hand and found that despite your made hand, I was a favorite after the flop with 11 outs to catch a jack, king, or flush card. Preflop you are a 2/1 dog with 2 live undercards. Flop it is a coin toss with me at 52.3% and your hand at 47.3%. I will take those odds most days. i am sorry that you did not cash and it is cool to get my name on the "Hall of Shame" on my very first try!!! I gave Steve my email address, look forward to trying it again.
