 Not a good weekend, poker wise.
Again, I've been busy this time with preparing for a trip to Montreal. (Woo hoo for training courses!) So there wasn't a lot of poker played but I was able to play in the weekly Bloggerment and the monthly Motley Fool tournaments.
Unfortunately, I didn't do that well.
I lasted all of five minutes in the Bloggerment. I had BlueScouse to my right and it was folded to him in the small blind. He raised three times the big blind. Knowing he could have anything I called with my 43s. The flop gave me two pair with two hearts on board. Great I thought. BlueScouse led out. Again he could have anything. I reraised. He reraised all in. Again he could have anything so I called. He had K9 of hearts and I was a 63% favourite. Until the turn brought him his flush and I was left with T20. Next hand I had KJs but lost and was out.
I can't really complain thought. I got the money in when ahead but lost. But it is still really annoying. So as is tradition, here is the monkey.
My annoyance carried over to the Motley Fool tournie. I was actually playing quite well early on, bluffing at and winning several pots then lost focus when Marbster hit trips on the river and my stack fell below T1000. I donked the rest of shortly after.
Ach well.
