Heads up poker tournament on Stout's back porch today. Lovely day and an enqually great first round for me. I beat a dude who just won over 5 grand at an AC poker tournament. We were the longest first round game and I had a big comeback in addition to a little bit of trading chips back and forth. Semifinals I played Nelson, whom I've played with a few times. I know him well enough to know he's damn good at poker (I am totally not), that he's a really aggresive played, and I'm really glad he drew Stout in the first round. I started winning against him early and then all of a sudden he goes all in before I even get to look at my cards. It startled me so much that I folded without even thinking about it. I then looked down and saw my pocked Aces. I was very upset with myself about that. He eventually beat me trip 3s to pair of kings/one to a flush. We both played that well and I'm not sore about it (unlike that fucking pocket rockets hand).
Yesterday saw my first ultimate practice of the season. When I got to the field with Bender, I saw Rindosh and 20 something freshmen I'd never seen before. Eventually we got close to 40 people there, about half returning players. It was fun and good to see everybody again. Aside from that, last night was the lamest Friday ever. Lets just say that we learned that Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters is hard and everybody not signing up for senior night because we're not sure if anybody we know is going is dumb.
