Riverchasers

Going to give it a try. I've studied everyone's blogs and know exactly how they play, should be a cakewalk (not).

Lost my first big pot to Buddy Dank. Had KJs flopped top jacks. Turned out he had kings - oops.

6:08pm Got some back, limped with a5s flopped and ace and held. Then flopped top set of queens, bet out because flush draw on board, no takers, maybe should have slow-played? Now at 2725.

6:20 Lost some more; raised with 10s. 9 high flop. Folded to all in on turn when any 8 would make a straight. Good thing, he showed one. Down to 2120.

6:23 AJ rules! Flopped top pair, two callers. Worried about straight or overpair but it held at showdown. Now 3140.

6:35 Hanging in there, nothing to play. 2810. Those I recognize (from reading blogs ) at my table are cmitch, Loretta8 and Buddy Dank (tuned in right now). Oh and I've also heard of blinders.

6:43 Lucky hand, flopped a pair of 10s, thought other guy had flush draw, he kept betting out. I just called him down, didn't want to commit too much. Turned out he had pocket 6's. Up to 3500.

6:51 Bluff reraised with just A high after flop. Turns out I wasn't bluffing, it was checked the rest of the way and I won. WoW. Now 4620.

6:54 Called 2 shorty all ins with AJh after A high flop, 2 spades. One was on the draw the other had A6. Another 6 on the turn (no spades came) and I'm down to 2395. Darn, that would have put me among the chip leaders. Instead I'm 52nd of 64 - Avg is 4190. Time for another bud light.

Made it to first break w/ 2295. Changed tables now with Waffles, Lucko, Jeciimd, BamBam, Katitude, WWonka69 and cemfredmd. Easy !!!

7:13pm Just re-raised w/ AA and Schaubs jammed w/ QQ. No queen and I'm up to 5250. Wheee.

7:15pm Schaubs reraised all in again, I called w/ A10o. He had 77. Flopped a 10 but he rivered a straight. Oh, well. Down to 3584. It's fun hearing Buddy call the action !!!! Hey, play my requests.

7:21pm Called Dr J's all-in w/ AK. Lost the race, down to 1454

7:32pm Damn, looking to go all-in but getting absolute crap. Did once with KJs and got the blinds.

7:39pm Finally, folded to me on the button w/Q10o so I went in. Ran into Waffles KK. Had fun. Maybe next time.
