Slayre wins 2655 with straight, jack high.

For some reason, I put him on a mid or low pocket pair... I called his reraise, also to find out if he was just trying to find out if I had anything....

that flop gave me some outs... he went all in, so I thought he was just trying to push me out, I figured... he just has a pair.. I'm pretty sure it is not A's.. I just need a K, or a J, or a 7 or a Q.. 3+3+4+4=14 outs, times ruffly 2, gives me roughly 28% to hit an out...( maybe 30% ) I think my pots odds were relatively low... 2.5 to 1 or so... ( not gonna try to do the math ).... and, I still had chips if I did not hit.... so, I call...

Those Q's showed and I knew I was done for... first thought, there goes 4 outs... but then, I realized, I would get the straight.. I did loose my J outs tho...dropping my odds to hit about 10% or so... 2 on the turn helped no one... and now I just know I'm gonna have to play catch up... quasi miracle 7 on the river, and rake in a nice pot...

ended up second in that one.... 3 bucks..

Appears the freerolls for Aruba are done... darn it.... there I went thinking I had plenty of time.....

Am qualified for the SUNDAY TEC final on UB tho... top ten there get a TEC ( Tourney Entry Chip ), perhaps I can do well and use that for an Aruba satellite... not sure...

I've been playing less timid lately... and it seems to have been working for me... I am almost ready to try this on the ring games...

SirW is touting the wash,rinse,repeat method, which is a fine method, one I have tried to use since I started... but, when you up agaisnt another doing the same thing... things get icky..... heh..

I got the hiccups.
