A final table at Lil Kim's Cove tonight would have brought us to the .500 mark -- 20/40 in reaching final tables. But alas, we wound up tied for 12th and one table short.
We probably did well to finish tied for 12th out of some 30 players, because we never won a pot all night. But it's not like we didn't have chances. A big-betting man scared us off a pair of Jacks, with a King and Queen on the board. He later admitted he was bluffing. Then there was this hand....
BLINDS: 50/100.
IN THE POCKET: A-2. Several players call.
ON THE FLOP: 5-6-7.
The man next to me bets 200. Another player calls -- and I do, a bit hesitantly. I have an "over-card."
ON THE TURN: 10.
The man next to me bets 200 more. Another player calls -- and after thinking it over a moment, I fold.
ON THE RIVER: A of clubs. It figures. Another player won the pot with a pair of 7's.
MINISTRY MOMENT: That man to my left likes to talk a bit -- about hands he's played elsewhere, and things in general. One flop brings out an exclamation, "Good Lord!"
To which I say, "He is all the time." He didn't respond. But one night, that man talked without any prompting about the mistake Lucifer made, to rebel against God long ago (Isa. 14/Ezek. 28) -- the Lucifer we now know as Satan the devil.
UPDATED SCOREBOARD: 19 final tables in 40 nights (47.5%) - 5 cashes.
YAHOO POKER TOTAL: $4,641 (down 46, but up 33 in poker games).
