    Wasted Weekend of Poker

    A Nice Call

    Hey everybody, I am here to tell you how the weekend went but there isn't much to talk about. Besides making a sick call for my last 20 dollars in the cash game on Friday night. With when the board was I bet out 5 dollars on the flop after making it 2.50 to go preflop. Jonas goes all in and so does Addison which is not of concern really. Jonas was just wanting to re buy and playing like it I ended up calling. Jonas had then Addison had just top pair and dodged all of those cards to win a MEGA pot.

    The rest of the weekend

    The game didn't happen on Saturday and I didn't count it against the season. Then with the free roll that started at 2 on Sunday I signed on 20 minutes early. And literally couldn't find it after extensive searching how crappy you play for 4 hours, to get a seat and miss the tournament how retarded. After Friday's 63 dollar profit night the roll is close to 1,100 after the diseaster from the Hood River tournament I have quietly made just over 100 bucks since. I am getting back into form doing well in tournaments, also capitalizing in the cash games of late. Stay tuned hopefully this week will be better for play. Take care and may all your pots be monster.

    • Hey dude, that really sucks. I can't believe you couldn't get into the freeroll. Ridiculous!

      I had a terrible poker weekend, too. I played in two games trying for a last-minute qualification into their freeroll and just missed. I did make some pretty sick calls... Versus with on a board, and versus a total (let me rebuy) bluff with bottom pair on the river. In the Friday tournament I ran into 6 full houses and 2 quads and in the Saturday game I played against flopped trips about 4 times. Hard to win there...

      Glad to hear your roll is moving. You should come visit in July :)

      Why no game? FYI, you can go to the tournaments page in your league and just hit the delete button to remove the 5/17 game. It should work quite well. Let me know if you have any problems.
