Today at 4pm eastern, the fourth event of the esteemed Blogger Poker Tour takes place.
Yours Truly has been doing miserably on the tour, so much so that I hang my head in shame as I think about it.
I rattled this in after the second event (the first I’d participated in):
Well, it wasn’t looking too good for me with 3 queens and an ace kicker. We bet and bet, and my Estonian opponent needn’t have worried about having a weak kicker; having the other queen, he also had another card to make a full house.
I went out perhaps six or seven hands later with an A-2 going up against someone’s A-A. Yep. Ordinarily, an A-2 isn’t an all-in kind of thing, but when you’re down to 300 chips, it’s worth a shot. But not against pocket rockets.
There were 75 of us — I dropped like a stone at #72. Not my day.
However . . . today’s meeting of blogging poker nuts is being hosted by IronGirl, and she’s dubbed it the IronGirl’s Omaha a Go-Go.
This is good, y’see, ’cause I love Omaha. Perhaps I’ve a chance of making up for two awful outings (I missed one). Should you see any flying pigs this afternoon, you’ll know I pulled it off.

wise
Update: I distinguished myself by being the first to bomb out.
I’m thinking of making a maxim: “Regardless what you have, someone else at the same table has something better.”
Not a great maxim, perhaps, though seemingly accurate in my case.
Sigh. Next Saturday it is.
