NLOP Weekly Championship 13: Quick and To the Point

We've been so busy lately that we haven't mentioned making the weekly championship at National League of Poker for the third time in four weeks. (The $25 win on Saturday night made it possible.) We actually had other things to do last Sunday night, but gave it a try....

:02 IN: We have 10-10, and double the blind to 60. The flop is 8-8-4. Everyone checks. The turn is a 9. We bet 90, and a player calls. The river is a J, and we confidently bet 150. But the caller has an 8. We lose nearly half our starting stack right there.

:16 IN: We have 5-9 and fold it. Too bad - the board comesd 6-3-8-7-4, and our straight would have won.

:20 IN: We have 2-2. A player goes all-in pre-flop and we fold. Too bad again -- Ace high takes the pot.

:28 IN: We have 4-K in the Big Blind. The flop is K-9-J, and we go all in for our remaining 170. But a caller has K-10 to outkick us. The turn and river are 9-10 -- and we're on to those other projects. Out of 1504 players, we're a lowly #870.
