Capa took the worst abuse at Dag’s hands tonight: early on, he flopped trips, Dag hit a full house at the river to send him to the rail. :eek: ---

Just so no one thinks that I only take horrible beats here… I played in a 150 man live tourney at the local dog track/poker room today…I won this tourney last year the 2nd time I ever played in it, but I generally don’t go because they rake 13 of the $45 buy in. When final table starts I’m in 7th place, but havent gotten any cards hardly and hope a rush comes. When it does, I get horrible calls from people, and suprisingly my hands hold up…I knock out 4 and cripple another, and soon there are 3 left, I have 160K chips to 35K and 25K. It gets heads up and I’m up 80% to 20%…to a kid who basically the whole final table has just been shoving it all in preflop and praying and sucking out… 1)We get it all in on a flop when I have top pair and he has nothing, but gets runner runner to make a flush and crawl back to a 65/35 deficit. 2)We get it all in again and he again has nothing, but gets runner runner to make a straight and take a 70/30 lead 3)We both flop top pair, and I have him dominated, but he gets the board to pair on the turn, and an overcard to my kicer on the river to split the pot (at this point I get an official warning for my language, as I nearly repeat my wsop performance) 4)He makes a horrible call again dominated, and this time my hand holds up, so now I’m up 60-40% in chips 5)He wins a couple of small pots, then he limps in and I have 67o in the BB…flop is Q67. He shoves all in (bluffing), I call, he gets runner runner to make another fucking flush and now I am losing my mind. 6)I get it all in with A7 pf , and of course he has AJ, and there is no justice in the world as I can’t catch up and I finish in second for $973 (first was $1690) He asked to stop and chop twice but I said no (why chop when I know I can outplay him) ---

I had to figure that my small pair were good over any two cards. Of course, you should only call me with Aces, Queens, or eights. I’ll dig around tomorrow and post a few hands.
