Really had a great week, poker and otherwise. Wednesday night at our Wheeler game Scott suggested crabbing the next day. Ray, Mike and I quickly volunteered to crew the boat. The game went well for me, chopping 1st and 2nd with Sam for a $245 win. The next morning we met at the boat launch next to the Tsunami Grill and put out 7 crab traps. We agreed to meet at 4:30 to bring them in and cook them at Kelly's Marina, a few miles down the river. We ended up with about a dozen crabs and met our wives at the marina for beer and crab dinner. Fun times.
Because of a garage sale being held at the American Legion, the tournament last night was cancelled. So, the organizers of our Wheeler game came up with a $100 buy-in tournament to replace it. We had 3 full tables with more chips and longer blind structure. I was fortunate enough to place 5th for a $190 win (thus the 3-peat for my last 3 tournaments cashing). Nothing significant to report, pretty average cards, winning my biggest pots with 10/4 in the big blind vs. AK. Flopped 2 pair, he hit an ace on the turn. I did major damage to a player who was on FIRE (he later bubbled for $100 win). He raised big with KK after I had limped with AJ (other limpers in front of me). The flop came 9/10/Q, giving me the open-ender plus the overcard. I called his huge bet and the ace came on the turn. All my chips went in and he rivered a king, giving him top set, but making a straight for me. I had to dodge a 4th diamond, he had the K, I had none, dodged that bullet but not the bullet-like glares I got from him the rest of the game. My last hand was in the small blind vs. the BB. A/2 shove, he snap calls with QQ. The flop gave me lots more outs, 4/4/3 but could not find a 5 or ace. Late night, home around 12:30.
