After going 2 months without a final table, I have finally broken the drought. Have been wanting to play at the Lucky Bridge Casino for a while, but just never got motivated enough. After breaking my crown last night playing at the Moose, I had an 8:30 dental appointment that lasted until 11. Thought this might be a great time to play the noon tournament I drove over and signed up. Got some pretty good cards and ended up in 3rd place for $120 on the $30 buy-in. Feeling encouraged, and hearing about the great 7:00 tournament (70 players with $500 added), I went ahead and signed up. It was pretty much a donkfest with marginal cards getting lucky. I played a few hands and was down to about 3000 chips @ 100/200 blinds when this hand came up:
Damian, a very loose player, but lucky and lots of chips raised to 700 with A/Q. In the small blind, I find 10/10, and shove. The big blind tanks for a moment (he had both of us covered and had been drinking tequila), then called. Damian then re-raises for all of his chips. The guy calls and turns over 8/8. When Jimmer says, "I threw an ace away" I liked my chances. However, luck prevailed, and the guy hit an eight on the flop and both of us were gone.
I really don't think I would play it differently, as had I called, might have escaped since a king was on the flop, but knew in my heart that I was ahead of Damian.
