Showboat 21 December 2007

Main Line Poker Club regulars continue to make strong finishes at the Atlantic City venues. Today, W.E. (center) chopped first place (down to 3) at the Showboat A.M. tournament. A long over-due win and well deserved!

Not satisfied with a tournament victory, W.E. aspires to the local hoagie shop's wall of fame.






I Busted 16/71. At 8bb ran 99 into AK board xQJxT. Played well, no regrets. A fun day, what poker should really be. For our victory celebration, W.E. treated me to an awesome sub (hoagie) at the WhiteHouse. Both the meatball parm and the "regular" exceeded expectations.


I had trouble texting stack updates to the blog. Didn't understand the error, but when I checked later that night, they posted fine.


Played 200NL prior at the Taj and was down due to KJ to KQ blind vs blind. Wanted to shower after leaving that slime pit, but a thorough hand-washing sufficed.


Played 200NL following and did ok at a very aggressive table with many regulars.


Note to the whiney young kid sitting two to my left:
1. never play poker with your girlfriend sitting in back of you. she deserves better than to watch you play cards, and your ego will interfere with your thinking and playing, as you try to impress her with your studliness.
2. stop playing Ace-rag and then whining when people catch up.
3. stop limping and then complaining when your monsters are overtaken.
