-----------------------
[8:10] Week 10 of Season 10, its after 8:00 and are cards in the air? No. Nothing in the air except the sweet smell of onion enchiladas. Delicious, but we can only hope that Chess goes out early, it may get ugly after he's had a chance to process them.
[8:30] Eric makes it 500 from under the gun, and I look down and see pkt K's. I don't have the fear I used to, at least I can smooth call without breaking out in a cold sweat. We end up with 5 callers on the 500 bet, and I like the way the pot is forming so early in the round, and I'm guessing the other 4 guys and gals have each other's Aces. Lets see a flop, it comes... A-A-5. Well, so much for that theory. Eric bets out, and I gotta insta-muck, especially with 3 people behind me. Surprisingly, no one else calls though, and Eric shows his A and scoops the pot he built up for himself.
[9:05] Sungina's already short stacked and pushes for about 5000 with a flop of 8-9-2. Jagu calls with J-10 open ended straight draw, and Sunj shows pkt K's. Sorry Sunj, this can only end badly. For some reason, Sunj starts yelling for a Queen, and of course it hits on the river, making Jagu's straight and proving once again Bagu's theory of the 5th dimension. Sunj says "shit", and makes her exit.
At some point later we're down to 2 tables, blinds are going up and I'm getting a little short stacked. Again I'm in early position, and Potts bumps it up for about a third of my stack. I look down and once again, see my buddies the pkt K's. I just smooth call, actually hoping for some callers behind me, and a couple of people hop in for the party. Flop comes A-Q-7. Damn, the Ace always comes doesn't it. Potts bets out enough to push me all in, and I hate the call because I know I'm behind, but call anyway with the blind hope that Potts is betting with a Q and not an A. Nope, he has the Ace, and my little buddies can't find one of their brothers, and I'm out. Chester's still in, and those onion enchilada's have to to be working their way through. I suspect we'll be hearing from them again soon, so I make my break for the door before Chess has a chance to lock them.
Sucks that I still can't win with pkt K's, but at least both of these times were more my fault. To me, if the money goes in when you're ahead and you lose, then that's a bad beat. If the Ace comes on the flop before all your money goes in, then that's bad luck. If the Ace comes on the flop and you still call, then that's just bad play.
[9:26] "Wow, you're a tight player." - New guy to Omar.
So that's all I saw, but apparently our overall leader Kurt made it to the edge but couldn't get past the bubble. He still holds on to the overall top spot because Bagu and Jagu went point-free. Jeena gets the crumbs of 5th place for the second week in a row, and her third of the season, just enough to keep her clinging onto the final Top 9 spot. Omar and Mike get 4th and 3rd respectively, and new guy Morty (Marty? Morgan? Mortimer?) grabs second. And Mr. Potts, who left me hanging at the altar on Superbowl Sunday, takes the first place points and money.
And finally, the winner of Mini-Season 2 is Earl!!! He didn't point last night, but his first and second from the previous two weeks were enough to win him the 250,000 bonus chips. Congratulations, but on an administrative note, Earl's guest pass privileges have been suspended indefinitely, per Article 422 section 7a dash 11.3 of the BPC bylaws. Earl, if you wish to have your guest privileges reinstated, please submit your petition in writing to the BPC Executive Committee.
