3 straights in a row?

yep, that is how I won the second tourney last night at Baby A's.

APL hosts 2 tourneys there on Wednesday night, 6pm and 9pm.

I didn't do very well in the first tourney, which is why I played in the second tourney.... nothing remembered from first tourney.. played too agressive and it cost me...

Second tourney... after about 4 hands of folding.... I got AJ, flopped a straight... medium size pot... then Q10, flopped a straight.. huge pot.. took a player out...then KQ Ace on turn gave me a straight, no flush draw, but there were 2 Jacks on board and my opponents were betting aggressively.. one I knew bets hard with bottome pair, wasn't worried about her... the other was a good player tho.... TP A.... 3 jacks he had... whew... thought he might have had a FH... he was in position tho.. checked on the river... I bet 2k into 8k or so pot.. he called.. so did the maniac.... monster win for me with the straight....

then it was pretty much dead hands from then on... never played another until my last hand.....blinds were 2k/4k... I had 8k, UTG.... just went all in blind.. figured 8th place was good points.. certainly bettre than 9th... and it was late...

one caller.... some anal retents wanted me to flip my cards... i refused.. saying its a free tourney, no one actually paid to see my cards.... they relented... caller had A8s ( hearts ).. board was sumtin like... 2 3 4 3 9 raining rainbow...no hearts eithre... so, now, i turn over one card... Jclubs.... not bad... I got 6 outs... just need my second card to be a j or pair the board... slow roll it.... Qclubs.... ah well.... neat thing is.. I would have done the same thing had I looked at them.... the caller knew this and said had I looked at my cards and did it, he might not have called.. ( ya, right ).. then another said, well, if you hadn't of called, I would have with my 4's.... and yada yada.... all I wanted was the 6k blinds in the pot.... was happy with the all in blind.
