Pool 'n Poker

Saturday turned out to be great fun, despite some uncooperative weather. We arrived at my friends around 2 in the afternoon and finally rolled out sometime near 2 in the morning. Yeah, we are THOSE guests. The buggers you can't get to leave at the end of the night.

The poker was fun, but I was definitely bubble boy, going out just before the money in the vast majority of the games we played. I did manage to get a small taste of the money when I was involved in a 3-way chop which was prompted by hunger and great smells wafting from the bbq. My girlfriend and brother played as well and held their own all day.

Always eager to learn new things, later in the evening I learned that naked cannonballs can sometimes hurt.

On Sunday I took part in another of the $1K added limit tourneys at Party Poker. There were over 1,400 entrants in this one and I made my exit somewhere around 270th. Other than that tourney, I didn't play all that much poker with the exception of some micro limit stud hi lo. After three days off of ring games, I may hop back in there soon as I have a reload offer waiting at Empire for another $75.
