The Edge Of Madness

Today was the last week of the Australian Poker League.

Tim had to work, but showed up, and was planning to go back.

He went all in for the first hand after a rag flop with pocket 6's. Other guy had pocket 9's. Tim's first player out. He gets a $10 bistro voucher for his troubles.

My table had Sydney City Region Leader and 2 other guys who were in the semi's. So half the table knew what they were doing.

I manage to cripple the Sydney City leader 3rd or 4th hand with a check raise.

He was out soon after.

Played a few hands, didn't catch much.

Down to 500. A5 suited. One player has limped, blinds left. I go all in. 2 callers. Catch 2 aces on the flop. Win it.

Very next hand I catch pocket aces. I raise double the blind. BB raises 600, I go all in. He calls. He has 25 in chips more than me. We flip them. He has pocket jacks. He catches 2 jacks on the flop. 4 of a frigging kind. I don't catch any aces, I'm out.

Oh well, that's poker

Hopefully I used up my bad luck today
