The reason we called it "The2Outer"

Another day of PSing leads to a two out ouster. What else is new?

I didn't play much today. Won a 5 card sng, had a solid run in the 2-7 triple draw tourney but didn't cash, and then a deep run in the 1 buck horse.

In the 2-7 lowball, I just got unlucky. I pulled 8-7-6-3-2 on the second draw and thought I had the easy double up, but my opponent also stood pat after draw 2, and revealed 7-6-5-3-2. I can't tell you how many times I paired up on draw 3 when I should have easily taken it. Not bad for my first 2-7 tourney though, 28th out of 84.

In the 1 buck HORSE, I was sitting top 10 from 70 people left up until my ousting. I was feeling good, thought I'd finally get that elusive first win, or at the bare minimum get my 3rd final table of the month. We're on the hold'em stage, with stakes at 2500/5000. I get KA suited in late position with a under-the-gun raise. I just called it, hoping to see something I liked. I hit and, well, you can read the rest.

Typical day, typical ending. Another BS two outer on the turn ruins my chance at a decent pay day. Nothing I can do there accept curse at PS, which I did-- believe me. That right there is why me and Chase created this friggin blog. Another promising run goes up in flames.

Poon of the day-- not many candidates on my end today. Probably because I didn't play much hold'em. That'll be up shortly. Enjoy the night, poons.
