after a nice win last time out gets us (kinda, sorta) back in contention for a winning year we return to the beautiful horseshoe Baltimore for another 3/6 limit hold 'em test.
today's game starts kinda slow. we're an hour in and I haven't won a hand.
but suddenly there's great concern. and not for my declining bankroll.
a woman doesn't want
anyone to leave the table because 2014 proximity poker tour LEGEND
aunt hortense is circling the table and her name is approaching the top of the waiting list.
I think to myself that this woman
must be joking.
I mean who wouldn't want to play one of
the worst players in limit hold 'em HISTORY??

but the lady
isn't joking. and in fact, five minutes later she's at it again....this time wondering if
aunt hortense is ..... get this.... A PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER!!
sure enough, despite this woman's objections a seat opens up.
and when it does the guy on my immediate right moves half way across the table to the open seat where the dealer lets him post his small blind.
THIS MEAN AUNT HORTENSE IS GOING TO BE ON MY IMMEDIATE RIGHT!!!
but wait a second.
after the hand (and before aunt hortense can sit down) his new neighbor (to his right, not even his left) convinces the man to move back to his previous seat.
really, this is ridiculous if you think about it. you can move to a better position and post your small blind and
then move back to be the button after the hand?
absurd, but karma acts quickly as
aunt hortense takes her seat across the table and in one of her very first hands cracks the guy's aces with 2-5 off suit in a capped pot pre-flop!!
eventually I get on the board myself when I turn an ace high flush to win a big pot and later I quietly make a seat change of my own. towards the end I send aunt hortense packing with 66 before an eleventh hour loss with KK to an all-in straddle reminds me of my place in the universe.
game +112 (3/6)
