Friday night I spent at my second friendly Texas Hold 'Em poker tournament. This one was held in an industrial warehouse just about 5 minutes from home.
There were 30 players, including about five women, who each bought in for $30 and began play on five tables. My table started off tentatively with a lot of checks (no raises) and people folding. Ilene 'The River' was taking a lot of pots on the last card and scared off at least a few. But other tables saw a few 'all ins' which eliminated someone.
As people were eliminated, we consolidated tables and I found myself on the last two. Unfortunately, I was knocked out at number 14 when I matched an 'all in' and my diamond flush to the king was beaten by a full house! Bummer.
I took the roll of dealer for the next hour or so as more and more were eliminated. And then there was one table. At eleven, I called it quits and came home to wife that had hoped I'd be bringing home the cash. Sorry! Maybe next time. I'll have to be a little more careful about the all ins!!
