I stopped by Js to play a little 2-5 NL on Thursday night. It was a strange night. I should have never gone. I was a bit flustered from work and really didn't have my head in the game, and the results showed it.

Mike is an odd fellow that told ARH once that he made him fold AK pre-flop. We assumed he was kidding. Mike folded QQ and AK pre-flop to a raiser on Thursday night. I know because he showed me. He only saw one flop in 2 hours and that was with AA. Now that is too tight by any definition.

I messed up a hand really bad. I was on the button and it folded around to me. There was a dead SB, so I raised to 15 to get the BB. He called (with 82o I later learned.) I bet the flop and he called. When an Ace came on the turn, he checked and for some reason I thought he may have had an Ace and wanted a check-raise. I checked. The flop brought nothing very interesting and he checked again. The only right move here is to bet big and bet immediately. I just kinda sat there in a daze for 20 seconds then showed my hand. He won with a pair of 2's.

This is what happens when you are preoccupied when you play.

I also played 3 hands of 5-10 O/8. I "won" all three hands. Once I quartered and twice I split a heads-up pot. All three pots were around $80. I won $7.

Like I said, not my night.

I hope to get my mojo back before Sunday. After losing at 2-5, I need a big score at .25-.50 to break even.

I won't be going to Stillwater after all, but the trade off is worth it. I have tickets to Game 5 in Houston and a free ticket on Southwest, so as long as the Astros win a game, I get to go to the World Series. (And of course if the Horns win 5 games, I can go to the Rose Bowl!) As much as the Astros' situation sucks right now, I am pretty pumped. I mean, how many people ever go to a World Series? Here's one.

Let me know if you need a raving fan next to you at the game! I'll offer my services.

I'm trying to get some tickets myself from a "broker" I know.
