Jackpot during Live Action

Played live last night and just missed the Mookie by 15 mins because the cash game was really hot. Won $300 with 35s in the BB and flop is 46As and it checks around. Turn is the miracle 7s and it checks around again. I lead out with $5 on the river hoping that the Ks will show up and reraise me. Luckily I get a caller with 10s because if you don't show down on river you don't win the jackpot money. So a bit risky but it helped put me in that crazy category.

Only other hand of interest is when I get AA in CO. One loose player limps to my right and I raise it to $15, (1/2 NL) and it folds to the BB who calls along with the guy to my right. Flop is KQ8 rainbow and it checks to me and I bet $25. The BB is an action junkie (asian dude with a ponytail) and he min raises me to $50 and I hope that loose guy calls and then I can get HU and give him the action he desires. Instead, loose guy pushes all in and I know that AA is not good any longer. So I fold and pony tail shows J10o and loose guy has KQ. Turn is a 9 for a nice suckout since I have two of his outs and the straight holds up. Nice to see bad players get paid off for mistakes like that. I did see a guy buy in for $60 and go all in with 6's on his first hand (he stole the blinds) and then called an all in with AQo (I told him he was dead) for his second hand and the other guy turns over AK. He left right after that. Cash games with guys pushing with AK is awesome!

Looking forward to next week when Kat and Jules come out to play live in Toronto.

In other news I am working to get a company to put a bounty on my head during blogger events... I want it to be $36.66 to keep in line with my penGuin like attitude. If a player with a bounty on them wins the tournament does that mean it would be rolled over or go to me? Hmm... something else to think about.
