Sold Down the River



Well, so much for poker, I suck. The state finals were tonight at Jillian's. There were like 130 people there and I would guess I finished about 120th. If I had just went out first I could have won a 'Poker for Dummies' set, but anyway. Okay, so here's how it went down. I have the low stack on the table, down to my last 2200 and the big-blind is coming to me next hand. I'm dealt a pair of tens, so I figure it's now or never...Now's my chance. I push it all in and the guy to my left goes all in as well, but everyone else folds. We flip our cards, he has an ace-ten off suited, so I'm up on the hand. The flop comes out...No help to either of us. The turn card...Still no help. The only way I lose now is if an ace comes up on the river. Bang! Ace! I'm dead. I get to go home and watch the Wolfpack blow the lead and lose to the Dookies...Life is real grand.
