I did a live tournament last night. It was one of those free entry bar tournaments. Mostly for fun and to have something to do will you drink an ass-load. (I had about 12 beers and 2 shots)
I placed 15th out of about 100. No my best finish, but there were a couple of good hands.
I was in late position and delt [:as: , :ts:]
It was raised to me and I called. We had 3 people seeing the flop. Flop came [:th: , :7h: , :8s:]
I raiser, I called. Not a strong pair, but I still had TPTK. The turn came :js: and it was checked to me. I had a nut flush draw but with only 1 more card, I wasn't too sure I could get it. I checked. The river came with a [:2s:] Even better, someone said out loud. "Oooohh, you didn't get your flush draw." I loved it, and I lived it up. I ended up raising big and I had a caller because he was sure I missed my flush. It was one of my biggest pots of the night.
This next one is the hand I went out on.
Blinds were getting big 1k / 2k. I had about 10 K, so I was in pretty good shape, but I needed to make a move.
I had big blind and I was delt [:9c: , :tc:]
Even the small blind folded. It was me and the button playing this hand.
The flop [:3c: , :7d: , :8c:]
There was about 5,000 in the pot and I had about 8,000 left, so I tried to buy it. I had 17 outs and I could very well hit something, but it was also a bad flop and I wouldn't be surprised if I did buy it.
The button called. She flipped over [:jh: , :7s:]
I was feeling good. I had more outs. 9s, Ts, J, 6s, and :club:s total of 22 outs. I think I may have had the odds in my favor.
The turn was [:4s:]
The river was [:ah:]
It hurt. I was taken out with that hand. I could have checked my way to the top 10, but I wanted more money.
Oh well, I had fun. and at the end of the night, I had all the more fun cause I was drunk as a skunk.
