Lodge Results for Sunday 10/29/06 - Week 12

Had a better day this week, nothing stellar, but was actually winning more than one or two pots as I have in the past few weeks. I made a loose call fairly early with JTo and two donkeys in the hand. One had gone all in for 45 chips and I was called by another loose caller. Flop has a J and I bet 25 and he raises to 70 which I call. Turn we both check and on the river he bets 50 and I call, he had AA. Got my money back about 20 minutes later when I had AKo and he called my all in with J6o and his J on the river made my flush. I took a beating for half my stack when the blinds were 10-20 and I had about 320 in chips. I had AQs in the small blind and raised to 60, got two callers including the short stack to my left. Flop is nothing and I bet 100, short stack calls and raises his remaining 25 and I call, he has AK and I don't improve. First good hand he had that night. Was able to get most of that money back from him a few hands later when I had KJo and the flop was 2 diamonds with a K. Checks around, the next card is a J and I bet and he calls. River is another diamond and I check to him, he makes a 1/5 the pot bet and I call, he does not have the diamond and my 2 pair win. Eventually the blinds are up to 25-50 and I am down to 165 in chips. I wake up to AT and am in the big blind. There are two callers and a player raises all in for less than I have and I go all in because he bluffs often. I get one caller and he turns over KTo and the original all in has pocket 4's. Flop comes KK4 and the turn is a 4 giving him a full house and the A on the river takes me out in 21st place.

Next week is the quarterly tournament for $1500 in cash to 1st place. There will be 50 people in it.
