Went down to one of my favorite spots, South Point. I was very pleased with the breakfast buffet (the french toast was excellent), although the chocolate milk is still just Hershey's syrup.
Aaaand we are in at the South Point $80 No Limit daily tournament.
Weird moment happened in first level, I had 82o in the blind, limped around. flop 894 rainbow, I bet like 3BB and got several callers. turn x checked around, river was another 8. I got excited then checked my cards and it wasn't an 8, it was 63o. how amateurish do I feel
I was the only player under age 60 at my first table, when that broke I was the only player under age 65 at my second table.
A little up, a little down. Got myself in trouble when I ran a little bluff from the big blind into a four-spade board vs a guy with quads. little later I had As9c in small blind, K93sss on the flop but didn't get another spade and he was going nowhere with a K. I didn't get any cards and any bluff opportunity was up against a gray-hair holding a monster.
while looking up movie theater matinee listings I managed to run my stack from 2.1K up a bit. Got moved again and seated next to the chip leader (Asian male age 20-40), shortly thereafter got all-in against him with AT vs his A5 and the board ran out 3K464 and I swear all those little cards looked like a 5.
With blinds at 800/1600/1600, villian min raises, I'm in BB with A4, hey I don't want to lose my BB ante, and jam my last 6K. A on the flop holds against KQ.
to the second break, 24 left, short but not the shortest.
