Again, I am asked to deal at the Legion, table 2 so not too late. Collected my dealer money from 2 weeks ago, $30, which nicely offset my $40 buy-in, so with the money I will get this week, am in the black.
I am home early tonight, being knocked out before we got down to 2 tables, which sucks. A brief recap of my night is in order. 1st hand of the tournament I deal myself A/A, raise to $100 with no limpers and only $60 in the pot. Everyone folds. Woot-Woot!
2nd hand I play, I am in the BB with 10/10. Pocket Q/Q UTG min raises, and A/A on the button re-raises, we both call. Flop is low, we check to the aces, he bets small, we both call. Turn is a jack, again check check small bet, we both call. River, everyone checks and he turns over the winner.
3rd hand I raise in late position with A/6 suited. One caller. Flop is ace high with 2 hearts. I continuation bet and he calls. Turn is a 6 giving me 2 pair, he checks, I bet pot. He calls. River third heart hits, I check he goes all-in. I wait, he says, I'll show, I fold, he had flopped an open ended straight flush draw. No bet would have deterred him.
Now short stacked, a player raises my big blind to $300 (blinds at $60/120), I call with KQ of clubs. Flop is J/J/10 with two clubs, giving me the open ended straight flush draw. I go all-in for my last $400 or so and he insta-calls with his flopped boat, J/10 offsuit. Now, as the dealer I need to pull out my two outer but fail. Dealer down!!! Well that sucked. Victim of draws.

Ah, yes, but it was a straight flush draw! This is one of the hardest hands for me to fold especially open-ended even though I rarely hit open-enders. You just can't fold an open-ended straight flush draw in your position. Phooey.
