Saturday, Dinner Break

Poker is a wild game. For the first 2 hours of this tournament Stewman and I were getting spanked on both cheeks. We had plans to play solid, ultra-tight poker. So much for that plan. We both found ourselves making plays at pots within the first hour. Anyway, we got ourselves short-chipped, then grew our stacks back before the first break.

But luck is a fickle thing, and unfortunately Stew busted out by the next break. I hope he gets to post the story. Meanwhile, I managed to catch the perfect situation and flop trips when our table's big stack paired his king.

It's dinner break time, and I've managed to grow my chips to over $20,000. Believe it or not, that puts me near the top of the food chain for this tourney. I was table captain for awhile, but a bigger stack joined us right before the break. Anyway, I'm keeping myself in contention. OK, gotta eat. Play resumes at 9pm tonight, and continues until 2am. I'll keep you posted.
