"You really are a tournament player."

I played in a tourney hosted by Eddie and I finished 2nd Place. This was the first tourney that I've played in that had only one table, so it didn't last that long. It was an interesting tournament and I had a good game going. I won my first big hand by setting a trap from a player to my right who raised double the big blind in fourth position. I called behind him intending to make a play if I caught a piece of the flop. I read the guy, and guessed that he had two painted cards with no Ace. So when the flop came it was:

Inauguration Day: And the BIG Winner Is?!

The first Thursday night poker game at Wild Cards was held on May 18, 2011. Finally we are active. I would like to say thanks to Eddie, Tony, Gabe, Dave, Zach, Pete, and lastly Jessica (sorry that you got lost) for being a part of the inaugural group. I learned a lot that night concerning how to organize a game. The games will get better and better. We will get a few more players in the rotation and a wider selection as far as refreshments and chow. I will also work on the environment and make it more relaxing for everyone.

Congratulations to Pistol Pete for being the big taker of the night. Pete played well and took good advantage of his rush, while at the same time protected his stack. I wanna say sorry to Gabe for loosing his keys, but I have good news because I found them (that will be on another blog)and will return them to Gabe as soon as I can. If anyone has anything to add to help make the game better, let me know and I will take your advice in consideration.

Thanks.
