Man, I love charity side games (LC)

[Baloosh]

Here in Ohio, we suck. So we have to have quasi-legal "Charity" tournaments, which are just basically a cover for some organizations to donate some money to a charity, and rake themselves some nice profit over the weekend.

Tournament structure is typically horrible, but the live action afterwards (2/4, 3/6, 5/10 and higher if there's interest). Stud, Omaha, Hold 'Em (both limit and no limit).

To make a short story long, I'm sitting at the 5/10 table, UTG+1, I muck A6o. Dealer swoops his hand in the way, and my Ah gets flipped up.

You'd have thought I shot the Pope or something, as the dealer announced, "Ace of hearts exposed. Not coming." The looks I got from the people around the table were priceless. One guy from across the table actually said, "You folded an ACE?"

Sometimes it's nice to be in a state that doesn't have legalized gambling. It makes people that much crazier when they do get the opportunity close to home.
