Close Call

Had a tire blowout on me on the highway going around 120-130 km / hr. Felt like a helicopter was landing on the roof of the car. Luckily got the family and myself to safety on the side of the road but it was a wobbly experience to say the least. CAA showed up promptly and we were on our way with the donut tire installed but now I will get 4 new tires installed tomorrow. Ack! I overpay to get my car fixed so these situations don't arise.

Not much poker on the weekend. Last night I played like crap in the 19k guaranteed tourney on FT. Only hand I played in the first three rounds was AA vs KK and doubled up. Before I get to use my tight image I find myself moved with a large stack to my left. Patience wasn't something that I had last night so raised from MP with K10o. I know that was the first mistake. Flop is Q 10 5 with two dimonds. Big stack raises and I call thinking he is on straight or flush draw. Turn is no help and he bets again and I push. He calls with A10d and my three outer didn't show.

Horrible to try to read someone without seeing any of their plays to that point. I should have played it weak on the flop and found a better place to put my chips in the middle.

Live and learn. I might play the blogger tourney tonight or just play the 17k guaranteed tourney with my last token. Time to play a couple token tourneys as well.
