No New Table Curse
After getting slaughtered in Charles' Thursday game, I needed to get back on track so we broke in the new table this weekend with a small (6 person) tournament. (where the hell were all the rest?) $60 buy in and rebuys for the first hour. We had 11 total buy-ins so decent sized pot. ( you do the math)
With everyone playing quite recklessly trying to build up a big chipstack, it was the wild west... some best hands holding up til the river, the most not. Close to the end of the rebuy period, I look down and see A,A. The flop comes Q, Q, 7. I bet, get called. 4th street comes blank. I bet out and get called. 5th street sees the 3rd Q come out and I go all in. The other guy calls and sure enough he holds the case Q. Oh well, he called a preflop raise holding Q,10 offsuit. I reload.
Good thing, because when the first hour finished, everyone tightened up.
The first person to get knocked out was Charles. I had mid pair on the flop, got a free card on 4th street and hit trips on 5th. He pushed it all in and I called. Good for me.
I proceeded to methodically knock out the rest of the table, until only Dwayne and I were left. My last money finish, at this series of tournaments, we had been heads up and he knocked me out, so I was looking for some payback (literally).
After pushing some chips back and forth, with my big stack steadily growing larger he pushed all in with A,5 unfortunately for him, I was holding A,10 and called. He didn't get lucky and I took down the pot.
It felt good to be back on top. My record in my tournaments 3 firsts, 2 seconds, 1 third. Not a bad run. I've been lucky.
Raise the hammer, biatches.

Yes, I played that hand like a wimp. I should have pushed all in on the AKK flop, but I guess the KK put me in jail with my AJ. And I certainly shouldn't have called your all-in, I think I need therapy. Oh well, nice hand. See you soon. Charles
Actually the A5 vs. A10 hand was the hand you knocked out 3rd (me) with. Don't remeber the tournament winning hand but I do remeber my final hand. I'll get-cha next time. Nate.
