Trout Games Dec 28th

yeah i busted out first at my table... who knew TPTK doesn't always win? crazy [censored].

Apparently, top pair, second kicker is no good when the board's paired. And you don't have a piece of the paired cards.

Check-raised ya. Buyakasha.

I wish I read this before I tried to teach Perg not to play back at me with a set when I'm holding TPTK. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I don't remember much for specifics - it lasted quite a while. We went back and forth, trading rather large chip leads back and forth at least a few times. Right near the end I was down to about $5,000, then hit a couple big ones to gain about a 2:1 lead. On the final hand I semi-slow-played an unraised, flop-paired ace to take it down vs. his middle pair.

This is macattack4 and my first post ever! Now I am legit.

Both Atlantic and Pacific were great for about 2/3 of the way as I proceeded to build a chip lead in each. Then rather quickly, systematically, and predictably, I proceeded to blow each chip lead, one costing me money and one costing me 1st.

In the Pacific, with three left, I had 13.5K, Slacka has 11.5K, and Gump had 2K (excuse the estimates). Gump made a great comeback.

The hand that turned the chip lead from me to gump 3 handed occurred when I caught gump on a thin semi-bluff but the river counterfeited my hand. At least, that's my story.

It has been a pleasure playing in these as I refine my game. Except for doctorgj, everybody has really nice. Perhaps my Aces full vs. his Queems full got him a little upset.

If Jek is listening, I propose the following for these going forward:

Every week, I offer the same deal, if there are 15 or more players, can we pay 4 spots instead of 3?
