if someone has
AK i'm rich.
not gates or trump rich but the big share of penn national's 600k + bad beat jackpot will be more than enough for a railbird like me.
unfortunately everyone mucks.
to make matters worse it's now 12:30 am and a long day of high hands has just ended. my queen high straight flush, (with
98) drags only a tiny 3/6 limit pot.
the long poker weekend started on friday with my annual car inspection/ charles town trip.
as usual, things did not go well.
i jumped out to a slim lead against a weak field of 1-2 nl players but losses with KK, queens full of 8s (to quad 8s) and tt (to kk) put me out of my misery and i stumbled over to the track where i booked a rare live racing loss.
it was a depressing ride home but i looked to give it another try sunday at pen in another 1-2 nl game featuring
the lion.
the lion struggled in this one and unfortunately suffered a (very) rare loss while i moved out to a $260 lead with my sights set on having my best game in proximity poker tour history and moving ahead "career" in no limit play.
unfortunately the cards didn't cooperate.
after folding about 100 out of 105 hands,
87
finally rivers a flush but is beaten by a player who limped utg with
T2.
frustrated i move to a (rare for pen) 3/6 limit game.
i lose with KK but rally to get ahead as the high hand period is about to end.
AK (four bet pre vs aq off) sees a beautiful flop of ace-club-club.
but a blank on the turn is of course followed by a non club queen on the river
and my 2017 limit woes continue.
thank you for reading.
