Bad Poker Night

I finished 9th out of 21 tonight. Out of the money by a long ways.

It was just a garage tournament where the blinds went up every 15 minutes. The problem was that we had a guy who liked to talk more than deal. It wouldn't have been much of a factor at all if the blinds were slower. But everyone played by the same rules so it was fair. Just not my game.

I need to play more aggressively during those fast blinds.

My crippling hand was when I missed my flush draw and couldn't put my opponent out of the hand with any raise.

That hurt me and I couldn't recover from his winning hand of one pair of 4's. That's poker!
