My poker day started great today. Arriving a half hour or so early for the 11 o'clock tournament I grabbed a seat in the 3/6 limit game. Running good was up $85 when had to cash out. There were 59 players signed up, and I was playing well but not a lot of traction to make it down to 2 short tables. Highlight early on was quad jacks, sweet, but not a huge pot.
Moving tables, was on the button with A/Q suited and folded to me. I raised to put short stack big blind older lady all in. She calls with K/10. She hits a 10 on the flop and doubles up. A round or two later, I raise her again with A/8. She calls all in with 7/9 of hearts. Flop comes down A/8 (hearts)/10. Turn is a great card for her, 5 hearts, giving her flush, straight and straight flush draws. River is 6 hearts for a runner runner straight flush. She owns my sorry ass.
Eventually down to just $500, with blinds at 1000/2000, a player shoves with Q/Q. I have K/K. He hits a queen on the river and I am out. Sad.
