Lodge Results for Sunday 05/14/06 - Week 26

There is a new player at first place now. I have dropped to 4th, but a 1st place finish will propel me to the lead. The prize in addition to the normal prizes is a buyin to a charity tourney. Since its mother's day, the field is smaller than normal so my chances are much better. I start off very slow and go to the first break without winning a single pot. I only saw 3 flops in big blind due to the excessive preflop raising. Finally after the break I win a couple of pots and are T30 ahead. Blinds are now 20-40 and that hurts a stack when I only have T280 in chips. I decide to go all in with pocket 5's and get called for less by A8o... well you can guess what happened... she gets her ace on the river and I am down to about T55 in chips. A few hands later and she is is out and I decide to go all in under the gun with Q6o since that was the best I had seen since the pockeet 5's. I get 3 callers and beat everybody except for 34o (who was the button) who pairs her 4's and I am out.

I decide I haven't had enough poker and go play at another bar at 10:00pm and again I do not win one pot. I lost my chips in 2 hands... one was I had 35 of spades in the small blind and the flop comes 2 spades. There is some betting and I call, turn is a spade and more betting. River is a spade and it is checked to me so I bet big, get one caller who had the A of spades and I am down. Two hands later I get Q6 and call the blinds. Flop is AQ6 and there is a bet, a raise and I go all in expecting those opponents to have a A. Well on opponent has Q7 and the other has AQ!!! and I am out of the tourney.
