Last hand

There are other assorted stories but my final one was with, who else, Deeb. I raised UTG with 235 at 200/400 blinds I was AI for my last 800. Deeb gave me some protection three-betting and we both drew 2. I paired the five and blah. Second draw was a ten and blah and Freddy had drawn 2 as well. I kept the ten - not a great card obviously but drawing 2 would make me a huge dog against any one card draw. He drew one and turned his 9-draw face up. I turned up my ten draw. This time everyone was surprise I kept that, but hey, a two card draw on the end is a bad spot to be in! Freddy turned over a 4 and said "you're drawing dead, man" in that patented Freddy cadence that doesn't sound asinine though it might from the mouth of a lesser being. I drew an ace anyway so I could only have beat a pair, and obviously drawing 2 would not have helped me.

I finished around the 100 mark - board said 108 but they hadn't updated it in about 10 minutes. Another WSOP another lesson. 3 WSOP events no cashes, which sucks.

What sucks more is they are talking about not having it next year, and if they do possibly 2000 with rebuys. That would suck for me - they're going to get to the point where I wind up playing stupid hold'em in the WSOP.

I am meeting up with Sean and his wife tomorrow. They moved out here a year ago or so. I may wind up at Venetian tonight but probably will take tomorrow off before going back to mega-stack on Tuesday.
