Cruise control
So, our golf pro had been bugging me to finally make it over to the Wednesday night poker game. Tonight was the first Wednesday that I didn't have something going on, so my pops and I joined this regular crew for an evening of Texas Hold 'Em. A 30 dollar buy-in got me my chips and away I went along with the other 18 players.I won the first hand of the evening at my table. A couple of hours later, I sat on the chip lead at that table when they finally had dropped enough people to combine the three tables into two.
Damn the move.
From that point on, I didn't win a hand. Not one single, freaking hand. I didn't even get hands to play. I just kept folding and putting in the blinds as they came to me and slowly my stack dwindled. I got lucky enough to get moved to the final table with the last 8 players, myself included.
Again, my luck was much the same. I couldn't buy a hand. I was sitting on the short stack with the last seven remaining players winning money. Fortunately one guy went all in ahead of me. I folded and another guy called. The guy that went all in got drowned on the river and I was in the money.
I was able to manage my stack enough without winning a hand to sneak into 6th place whice paid my money back plus ten bucks.
All in all, it was a good evening.
