Dave's and the rest of the weekend

Won 1 tourney hand. Just once I'd like to hit a draw in a tourney. Straight. Flush. ANYTHING more than a single pair would be nice.

Down $60 in the cash game, despite being up almost $300 at one point. Gave Pyxis $150 when my KK didn't hold up against her AA. Paid off Mailman on one hand where I had something like middle pair with open-ender and flush draw and bricked out to his top-top. That's where most of my profit went, and I then gambled in the last hour and was down to my last $50 or so, but managed to triple up to soften the blow. Still up nicely for the day.

Another note...Dave W is 100% to win when on a gutshot draw against me. If he has any chance to win AT ALL, he will hit his hand. 3%'er? No problem! Just bet it. There's no shame is saying "check" Dave! Oh well, if you're gonna hit every hand against me, keep on shoving chips into every pot. Just watch out for when I call or raise, because I will never bluff you if we're heads-up. Dave later lost his stack with bottom-2 vs Matt G's top-2 on a flop of A74. Big pot.

Sunday, I met up with some guys from the North Coast Gamers meetup group to play Shadowrun. It's an RPG, think Dungeons and Dragons meets Bladerunner. Nice people, and although it took a couple hours to actually begin play (not uncommon for an RPG), we had a decent time. My character is a weapons specialist in Seattle, and has relocated there from San Antonio where he used to be in a bike gang and ran drugs. After a failed attempt on the life of the gang's president, he had to go on the run. We're now working for a tech company by day and doing covert shadow work at night. Our current assignment is to perform some bodyguard work for our boss Les Grossman (based on the character Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder) at a party. We stopped just as the real action got underway, and will pick up again in a couple weeks.

4 more days and it's off to FL for some R&R. Fishing, shooting, and hopefully a little poker. I'm glad to be down 25 lbs because I'm sure I'll be going way over my daily calorie allowance while I'm there.
