   Dan's House of Pain

   Friday night i played a friendly lil 7 man game over at Dan's place in San Jose.
   First tournament was fine. Luke had collected a massive chips stack, without playing a single hand with me.
   I was basicly card dead, seeing very few flops.
   When my stack got to low to defend itself against the blinds, i bombed out to grab the last rebuy.
   Soon after I caught myself in 3 all-ins in a row. I knew exsactly where i was in all 3 hands. I just had no choice.
   first hand i had AA. doubled up against 44.
   second hand i had AJ doubled someones smal PP up.
   third hand i had 66, doubled up dan's 10's
   2 hands later im on the big blind for half my stack, i get K9 suited, dave puts me all in with AA.
   im out.

   i was fine with it. i knew where i was on all 4 hands. just had to play the blinds/ and the $ in the middle.

   second tournament was awful.
   i bombed out so i could leave.
   Warner and his girlfriend had just shown up to play.
   She had never played poker before, it took a complete blind round to see 3 flops
   by the time it got around the table 1 time, 2 people were out and blinds had gone up twice.
   i had to get out of there, i would gladly pay 30 bucks to avoid a migrane.
   I catch 77. someone raises. i call.
   flop comes 9 10 j. original raiser checks, i check, ken bets half his stack. Put him on Q10. I push all in thinking he will most likely find himself pot committed and call, and unless i get a 7 or an 8 i can be h ome by 12:30.
   he flips over 10 8, bout the same thing except one of my 8's are gone.
   he wins with a Q high str8
   i leave quickly.

   game over

   90$ loss.

   • I love the comment about willing to pay $30 to avoid a migraine. A lot of people say LOL, but I did laugh out loud. I know exactly what you mean there... You gonna make it to Ivory's game?
