KING 8 MAKE NO MONEY!!
Game 10 has just come to a close, with yours truly taking my second win of the season!! 
Facing BigChrisE heads up when my 10 2 clubs hit it's flush and took him out. Thank you Doyle Brunson!!!
I took $240 for the win tonight along with the bracelet, and BigChrisE takes $140 for second place, with Hork42 coming in at third for $100. Great game everyone!!
Happy420 attended his first league game, and we all hope he can come out again in the near future. It got alot more aggressive as the blinds hit 100/200.
Chump this week was AC/DC who thought is Kings full of eights were good enough to go all in with, only to be called by my Kings full of Tens!! Don't worry, AC/DC, you still haven't taken the quickest knockout of the league yet...but it was close.
Pics and file update to be sent out by the weekend. Here's hoping there's a NEW LEADER yet again!!

I think we could all take a lesson from Happy in aggression and style. I especially liked his no-look blind call after a raise.
I tried something new this week, concentrating on the cards and less chit chat. Well that didn't work, so next week I'll be back to my socialable self, and let the cards take care of themselves.
So the rest of you, what happened, lets here it?
Derek what happend to your big chip lead?
JHJ ?
David, you were still in when I left?
23:15? a.k.a. ugly cousin with bad breath, sitting at kiddy table (because you've long since fallen from grace to be bride's maid.)
Congrats AJ! You had a good game going. I thought you and Hork would be in the final three.... just with me instead of ChrisEl (based purely on stacks Chris, not play).
Mr. BD... my chip stack. I asked myself the same question on the way home a hundred times. I was doing well around 3500-4000 sitting at the top with AJ at one point. Blinds were 100-200. I raised a couple pots ($500) and bet post flop ($500) and ended up folding (one hand with AJ, one hand with ChrisEl) knowing they hit bigger than I. Then I was down to $1900. Raised in MP to $600 hoping to pick up the blinds. Chris pushed all in for $1900 (my exact total count). Odds were good and I felt he was getting to a point where moves had to be made... as did I. I called with the 2-1 pot odds and KQos vs. 99. Didn't get my suck out I prayed for. So that's the long story.
My tears have since dried and I am ready for the hunt next week!
Was it just me, or was there an awful lot of players left at that blind level??? 6 out of 12 remaining at 100-200!! Is that a record?
Overall it was a good game.
I know, it's hard coming in as the heavy favourite and only finishing 3rd.
Honestly, I was so card-dead all night. My best pair was TT which I had to fold to an AJ re-raise when there were about 8 players left and we were the two big stacks at the table. derksen hit my AK with a big raise on a ragged flop that I had to let go. Other than those, I picked my chips up by getting in with speculative hands and hitting two pairs, and making bets at good/lucky times.
Derek - the "good fold" to my river raise was against my gutshot straight-draw that came through. 76s.
Hand of the night - Quad Aces, wtg Greg.
BigChris...you can go all in on my flushes anytime you want, I don't mind...really
BD, I thought you were pretty quiet throughout the game, wasn't sure why though. Â Don't change on our behave!!
I think I played one of my better games last night. Â Folded good hands when I suspected I was beat, and made good bets when I thought I was stronger. Â I also played alot more trash than I usually do too, only to see that I hit the flop with it, which is a nice turnabout for me...usually I get hammered when I do that!! Â Still, I was afraid of going on tilt a couple of times...once with Derek's raise on my pockets..(just knew you had K's or A's, but damn I wanted that pot!), and once on BigChris who always seemed to reraise my small blind. Â I couldn't steal a damn thing from him all night!!! Â It took alot of concentrated effort to avoid tilting after that.
Good game guys.
Hork... thanks. One thing I feel good about was my folding. I felt confident that I folded when I was beat, not bluffed. I know I made good folds against you and AJ specifically.
ChrisEl... I learned a few things as well... more about my play in the high blind levels with a full table!! Next time!
Same thing on that other hand were you raised with 76s, I defended with 65s and we both ended up playing the board. We were just waiting to break each other if rags came.
You're hand history is of course accurate. I knew once you smooth called me I was in trouble. The checkraise confirmed it. I had originally thought you hit the King, and I missed my trips, but I really did not have you on Aces. Damn good thing I wasn't playing a King!! Good hand.
I thought 42os was the 'founding masters' hand
I was feeling bad that I was doing that to you STR82ACE but I had very good hands and I was short stacked so I had to move, problem was you were just to my right. When I got the second pocket pair of Jacks I wanted you to fold your hand so badly because I knew I couldn't dodge an ace twice.
No worries, BigChris. Everything worked out in the end...just that way it was supposed to.
BTW, THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN!!! Check out the new updated Leader Board!!!
If you're the Sheriff, then I'm freakin Bob Marley.... and I'm out to get that damned deputy as well!! (deputy Eleanor that is)
You come into OUR town, you best be behaving yourself and keep deem dere sidearms in dere holsters, elsen you be finding yourself spending a night in the Iron Bar Hotel!! Me'n my deputy don't want to be draggin you out of the cardroom feet first, now do we?
Enjoy it while you can because I smell blood
Somehow, I think your wife is on MY side on this one
I do - every time I had a low pocket pair, my raise would get reraised and I would fold. I folded my way to a shortstack, and then thought my QQ were good with a K on the board. Not smart.
I also noticed that there were a lot of players at the 100/200 level. We're all turning into rocks. Must be Greg's influence
It was nice to have some new blood....err...I mean a new person at the game last night! Hope you make it out again, Happy....especially if you bring a 6-pack.
