Lodge Results for Sunday 12/11/05 - Week 7

Nothing too exciting this week. Had a couple good hands, chased a nut flush and that paid off really well. I only chased because I also had the straight draw plus an overcard so I had many outs. It turned out very good due to my opponent catching his trip Jacks on the river and pushing all in. That had me up to T690 in chips with the blinds at 10/20 so I was sitting pretty. However I had a few hands where my two cards were excellent starting hands and I was also in position to call a raise or make a raise, but the board never hit so I ended up down to T270 in chips. The blinds were now at 25/50 and I am in the big blind with 46o with no raisers and the flop comes 5-7-Q and I am first to act, so I go all in. Person to my left folds and the remaining player calls because he caught his queen.... Remaining two cards do nothing for me and I finish in the 30-40th place range out of 79 players.
Next two weeks there is no poker at The Lodge, but I am looking forward to Pot Limit Omaha on Sunday 01/01/06.
