| bbq and poker party wsop send off | 06.28.2007 |
Last night a few of my friends and family members came over for the last poker party before I head out to the WSOP next week. I've been playing as much poker as possible to get some more practice and experience before I go play with the big boys.
Caden came for the BBQ, but didn't stay for the cards (way past his bed time).

It was an awesome night to play outside.

I think the [ b ] school will have to have a few poker strategy videos.

FYI to photographers... the above image of David Jay was shot at 1600 ISO on the Mark III (50mm 1.2 wide open). Speaking on DJ, have you joined his Freedom Club?
Some dude named Tim actually won, but since he beat me by getting so lucky he gets no photo or link love because I am still a little bitter. On the final hand he went all in and I called him with pocket jacks, when he turned over pocket queens I was toast. But the hand before it, when I had about 4x the amount of chips he had, he went all in with Ace 8, and I called and had him dominated with Ace Queen. The flop was a bunch of rags but the turn was an 8 and just to add insult to injury, so was the river, giving him trips and the slight chip lead.
Oh well, that's poker! I'd actually be quite happy with a second place finish at the Main Event next week. I'll be blogging often from Vegas next week from my new iPhone with status reports. Speaking of the iPhone make sure to check the blog often tomorrow as I plan on blogging multiple updates as a few of us are camping out to ensure we'll get a phone.
