Soooo....
last night I played in a live hold 'em tournament (my 3rd? 4th?), and actually won, sort of. Meaning that, it was 2 a.m., we'd been playing since about 7:30, it was down to heads up with me and another player, we were about equal in chips, and so we split the pot. 37 bucks on a 10 dollar buy-in. As a side note, I have to say that, in a room full of testosterone, it was REALLY cool to be one of a pair of FEMALE heads up players. GIRLS RULE!! As a side note to the side note, all three of the biggest pots I took were with paired Jacks.
My first cash, but more than that, I was SUPER happy with how I played. I only regret one move I made, and that was NOT calling this guy Marvin when he went all-in before the flop. Everybody folded, which made it just he and I. I had King Jack, off suit. I figured him for a low pair. Even if he had won the hand, I wouldn't have taken a huge loss in chips, BUT, King Jack is the hand that took me out of that 50 dollar tournament right before I made the money last time, so, once bitten.... Marvin would NOT tell me what he had, and it's still driving me crazy. He hung on for a while longer, but eventually he was taken out. And I think it was his wife that took him down.
Now THAT was a crazy game of poker.
