Last Night at The Taj...

Last night, The Borgata's evening tournament sold out before I got downstairs to register. So, I hopped in a cab and hightailed it over to the Taj for their 6:30 Tourney. Get there and the line is out the door. I made the cutoff though. They capped it aroung 300 something players.

Anyway, last night was not my night my night. I mean, the Poker Gods made sure I understood that last night was not my time to shine.

First, I get a good deal of my chips in the middle when I flop a King high flush. Only to be outdone by a frikkin Ace high flush.

Then, the hand that sent me back to The Borgata. I'm in the small blind and I catch 67h. About 4 or 5 callers ahead of me. I call the big since I'm figuring a lot of them are on drawing hands. Big Blind checks. Flop comes down 567 rainbow. OK. Here we go. I'm sitting with about 6-7 big blinds in chips. I push all-in. Big Blind pauses and then calls. everyone else folds. We turn up. He shows 95o. WTF? The turn card a 4. The river an 8.

Good Night.
