More bad beats

Of course, you can imagine the look on Gran's face last night... he was sitting there with what he thought he couldn't lose, a straight flush, ace high. He went all-in. I saw him. And turned over these 2 beauties.

A pair of Cardinal R's. The absolute nuts. Poor boy was distraught. Resolved never to play cards again.

Very nice, how did you play the killer hand?

I just waited him to raise all in, then "reluctanctly" followed suit.

Of course, the more visually astute will notice that I was dealing the hand. However, any allegations of dishonesty are unfounded. I am a man of the the cloth, after all.

Ladbrokes went tits up yesterday, so they put on a $5000 added 10 dolla tourney.

878 entrants, I got down to 20th (top 70 got prizes) with 53 left and was sitting pretty. Top prize was over 3000 dollars.

No-one was putting in big raises, so when I got my pocket Kings I thought I'd slowplay it.

Called the minimum raise, and then someone went all in. I thougt YAAAAAS HERE WE GO. I called his all in and he typed in "Oh no, I was just trying to punish the limpers (which I took to mean he was just trying to buy the pot). YEEHAH I thought, I'm on a good 20000 chips here.

So we showed, and he had A4. YA BEAUTY.

The flop: 2 3 5.

I WAS ABSOULTEY RAGING, ended up with 40 dolla prize. But for a bout 3 hours I was walking about going GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Our other friend who plays the poker regularly managed to qualify for a $10,000 guarandamnteed prize pool last night.

Top 20 played, he did well to get to 14th through some nice bluffing, good calls and a healthy slice of Lady Luck. Then he undid 3+ hrs of good work when someone went all for 20,000 chips. My friend (nickname Ian Beale), decided to call him with KJ, the other guy had AQ.

He still won $100, but it could have been soooo much more.
