There were 72 runners who entered Event Num. 10 with nine to be paid. I busted out 12th, boo.
Felt I played pretty well until the last hand. I had A-K with A-9-x flop and villain had pocket 9s. Sets are brutal because of how they are disguised.
Tomorrow is a sight-seeing during the day, and maybe some cash game stuff in the evening, then home on Saturday.
Like you said, brutal, especially given that you were near the bubble.
ReplyDeleteI don't play poker (I am teaching Julie and her mother bridge), but I would have thought your pair of aces should have been good enough.
ReplyDelete@Dave: Thanks for the comment. I didn't go into it in the post, but this guy was a loose cannon. He had called an all-in with 10-7 among other plays, so he could have had anything.
ReplyDeleteOuch! So close..good run anyway! The Beau is very pretty. There was a bridal photo shoot going on in the lobby while we were there in January.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm going to have to visit some casinos just to see what they're all about. Or, I could go along with you, Dave, and you could show me the ropes! ;)
ReplyDeleteBTW, we visited the MOJO Grill last evening and it was a fine experience: the service was superb and the food excellent. It's kind of a roadhouse kind of thing - noisy and colorful - but lots of fun. I'll post some photos soon, but will send you some, too.
