Bad Oslo. Bad, bad, Oslo. Oslo get no dinner tomorrow night. I played the Hollywood $250 freeroll tonight. About 1500 players. Made it to 34 remaining players (pays cash to the top 30) at 34th. Maybe 3 big blinds left. Almost 3 hours played so far. Pocket QQ. Flop included a Q. All in. Asshole with ATo hit runner-runner hearts to kill me with a flush. I shoulda folded the QQ? ---

Heh, substitute “77” for “QQ” and you just described the hand you took me out with last Thursday. 😛 All I regret was going all in, can’t get away from the draw outs. ---

Well, happy birthday to the whole lot of you…I see **Capn** is already in full party mode. Just make sure you’re all still around for Thursdays. The final hand against **Kyy** made me a bit of an anxious paranoid. I had pocket 8s and the flop was A-8-8. Quads on the flop! I thought I was gonna screw it up by betting early and **Kyy** folding, OR checking all the way to the end (waiting for **Kyy** to bet) and get the same small pot. **Kyy** did bet, and I raised, thinking that maybe he had an Ace or even A9 for a higher two pair. But when he reraised, **Kyy** must have been holding a straight or even a full house. I then put him all in, and won with my bastardized slowplay. Game type: Texas Holdem, Tournament Game date: 3/10/2006 12:12:00 AM Game number: 1006470560 Total pot: $11,421.28 Community cards: Ah, 8d, 8h, 9s, 7d Player…Cards…Pre-Flop…Flop…Turn…River…Showdown…Win/Loss Kyyrewyy…5h-6c…BB,0…0…0…600,1200,3310.6…S…-5710.64 YeticusRex…8c-8s…SB,300…0…0…1200,5400…s…5710.64 I did have some better than average hands on a more frequent basis this game compared to past games though. My play was very rude and very grim at times…I knocked out half of the players, even back to back full house hands against **Asterion** and **Nook** which made me a MR’r and a half…plus the last 4 players I went up against… My full house 666KK over **Dag Otto** ’s set of Ks My set of Qs over **Nesta** ’s AAQQ My J high straight over **Duke** ’s A high My quad 8s over **Kyy** ’s 9 high straight ---
