Busto

About 4 mins before dinner, I look down at AK. Raise it up to 3200 (blinds are 600/1200/100). I can't remember if he was BB or the button, but he pushed for a similar stack to mine, I instacall. He has QQ, they hold up, I'm down to exactly $100.

Chip and a chair? not so much. I'm forced all in by the $100 ante, my T4 doesn't hold up against KJ (especially based on the Full House he hit on the river).

So I'm out, but realistically I can't be upset - I got nothing by way of cards all day - my best hands were:

AK - once - I lost

AQ - twice - once they held up (villain folded to my push), the other time I lost the flip.

AJ - once - the hand I mentioned where I made a good fold

AT - twice - doubled up both times with 'em.

I had no pocket pairs higher than 8's, and I didn't actually play any of them.

So running completely card-dead, I still managed to last until the dinner break, and had that last hand gone the other way, I would have had an average stack.

Instead I'm going to go grab a bite to eat. Shaun's arriving at about 11:00, so we'll meet up and figure out what's next on the agenda.
