Today's Trivia

When it's 8pm in Sydney Australia, it's 2am in California.

When all the money goes in on the turn, and you river a 6-outer in PL Omaha, cracking Albert's straight with a full house, it sends him on a good half-hour of tilt, even though you're playing for $10.

And it feels goooooood.

Oh yeah, and I finished 2nd out of 11 in tonight's Tustin tourney. I started heads-up play against a bad, tired player who had 80% of the chips. I chipped up, then doubled up to 21K of the 65K in chips, then screwed up two consecutive hands to lose the battle. I folded the best hand, when the flush scare card hit the river and he bet it all-in (just like he did earlier in the tourney, when he had the flush), and the called an all-in on a non-threatening flop with pocket 3's to see his pocket 10's. Bad fold, bad call, game over.

Mixed game afterwards... we taught Bulletproof Kevin how to play Omaha, O/8, and 2-7 triple draw. Good times.
