Urgh. I turn up for the Bloggerment and the poker gods decide to seat me at the table of death. I've got Cloud three to my right, BurnleyMik to my immediate left and Scotland's most famous professional poker player and abuser of Tesco facilities,
Daleroxxu , just to the left of Mik. And last week's winner across from me. To make matters worse, dD was moved to my immediate right a little while later too.
With two good players to act after me, I played it tight. I took a couple of blinds of Mik despite his feeble attempts at persuasion and took a slightly larger chunk off Mik when I reraised his raise of my early position raise.
These gains were gradually lost and I found myself with my original starting stack with a couple of minutes left of 25/50. It's folded to me on the button and I make a standard raise with AKs. Dale, in the BB, pushes and I've got an easy call. Dale shows ATs so I'm ahead. But a ten flops and despite having 7 outs on the flop with a gutshot and the other three Kings, another 8 when I turn a flush draw, I somehow miss them all and out I go.
Ho Hum.
I didn't play much else at the weekend, just two HU SNGs which I won....which was nice.
