Had a great time last weekend at Greg's mom's cottage! Unfortunately, I didn't make the trip up there on Saturday afternoon as originally planned, due to the blizzard. But the rest of them made it up there safely, which I was glad for. I mean, it would have been a shame to get up there and have nobody's money to take! Mark and I rode up together Sunday morning -- fortunately he was driving, because I had a 30-minute episode where I was partially blind. That hadn't happened to me since 1990, but it was the exact same thing!
As it turns out, I took no money. I ended up exactly even for the day, which is how it should be, I guess. No, fuck that, I should win... But I had some good luck and bad luck. I went from chip leader to bubbling out of one tourney on 2 consecutive hands where I got outdrawn by Greg each time. Okay, fine, he's the host. I got even in the last game of the night by outdrawing Mark about 16 times in a row to stay alive, and then ended up chopping 1st and 2nd, even though I had close to a 2:1 chip advantage. It was late and I was happy to break even at the end of the day.
Greg continued his hot streak into Monday at the casino, but 5th place out of 28 wasn't good enough to finish ITM. Fortunately, he profited about $150 in a $1/$2 NL game afterwards. Jeff did well in the cash game too, I heard. Unfortunately, I had to go home early that morning, so I didn't get to make the casino trip.
And the coldest player of the group....hmmm....Ian? He took some rough beats on Sunday at the cottage, went out of the tournament early on Monday, and then was dealt 2-2 in the $1/$2 game, flopped 2-A-A, and ran into pocket Aces and flopped quads. He's on a poker sabbatical now.
