Lodge Results for Sunday 09/03/06 - Week 4

Tourney was run better this Sunday, blinds were still 20 minutes long and the only change from last week was the omission of the 15-30 blind. The directors managed the balancing of the tables much better so it seems that the tourney will be run well, but its still not Dan....

As far as my performance, if you can remember the two hands that you won with in a two and a half hour period, then your cards must be bad. Most of my hands were 82, 74, J2o, K4o and since there were a couple aggresive players raising the BB almost every hand I didn't even call BB unless I had something good. Finally get 77 UTG, I call expecting a raise but get 5 callers. Flop is A75 rainbow. SB bets the pot BB and I call, everyone else folds. Turn is a 6, SB bets 25 and BB folds, I raise to 75 and SB thinks for awhile and exposes a 4 and I win the pot. I get AK twice and raise each time 3x the blinds, get callers and the flop completely misses me so I fold to any bet. There is a player on the table that is calling practically any raise and this gave me a decent stack with the blinds at 20-40, I push all in for 200 with AA and he immediately calls with JJ. I flop another A and I win the pot. For the next few orbits I don't get a hand until the blinds are 30-60 and I have 190 chips left and wake up to 44. I push all in and get called by another player who has been winning on the river even after being way behind until then. He flips up ATo and catches his ten high straight on the river and I am out.
