SOP at the club

Blog-worthy. An adjective used to describe the events at the alternate FCPC venue.

To be precise: that's three consecutive tournaments held in that room where I've run into quads. Tonight it was Althalee's four jacks. Ho-hum. Somehow I only managed to lose half my stack this time. With this progression I will soon barely take a flesh wound next week and somehow manage to recover to make it into the money.

I did win some very nice pots with nut straights (I was able to bust Simon when he flopped the joint and I outdrew him to the stone cold nut straight on the turn in a limped pot, which was the best payoff I got) and pulled off one superior bluff when my open-ended straight and flush draws missed but I bet out on the river nonetheless and managed to actually get someone to fold one pair.

Alas, I will need to keep plugging away and hope that I am the one who can get action with quads. I'm due for my share in that crazy room where quads seemingly occur every week.
