A busy schedule allows us to play online poker tournaments only on weekends these days. But we scored so well in the July 24 Sunday afternoon game that we qualified for last Sunday night's National League of Poker weekly championship. (Logging in every day and taking surveys for extra points helped.)
So how did it go? Not well at the start, as connection problems caused us to miss the first four minutes. And then....
:05 IN: We have 7-10 in the Big Blind. The flop is 8-9-2, and we call a bet of 30 when an open-ended straight draw. The turn is K, and call another bet of 30. The river is Q, so we missed -- and we fold when another bet comes.
:12 IN: We have 4-3 of hearts, and call a doubled bet with suited connectors. The flop is Ah-9x-6x, and a player pushes all-in. No thanks; we fold.
:16 IN: We have A-6 in the Big Blind -- but the flop is 2-K-Q. When someone offers 140, that's too high; we fold.
:24 IN: We have pocket 3's. The flop is 5-7-A. A player bets 100, and we fold again. (Good thing; he wound up with three Aces.)
:27 IN: We have 6-A. The flop is 6-9-Q, and dare to call a bet/raise to 200 with bottom pair. The turn is 5. Another bet of 100 leads us to fold. (Good thing; someone made top two pair on the flop.)
:28 IN: We have 7-A under the gun with 205 left. We see little choice but to go all-in. The flop is 6-5-2, and the turn is 7. But three of those four cards are hearts, and another player with Jh-9h hits a winning flush.
We left in 30 minutes, finishing 802nd out of 1,432 players. Maybe we need to play online more often?!
