Mookie and more baseball

I played the Mookie last night. I started off okay but it wasn't going to be my night. I managed to get Waffles off a hand early though as my over pair to the board got him to fold. Or did I have an over pair?? Waffles was trying to guess my hand. I finally told him I had Jacks. Sorry for the little white lie Waffles. The funny thing is I used to flash my cards or tell people honestly what I had. Not anymore. I did that a couple times last night. I tell them what they want to hear. If that makes me a bad person so be it but I don't give out free information anymore. I know others do but not this guy.

Anyways soon after I got moved to a new table and I had Wolfshead on my immediate left and Gary on my immediate right. I felt like meat in a sandwich. Now if it was two great looking ladies well that's a different matter but I was stuck between these two guys. First Gary took some of my chips when he hit trip 6's. Then Wolfshead took as whole bunch more when he had AQ and I had A 8 on a board of A K 7 4 2. Yea I know Ace Rag.

Then Lightning joined the table and he was even shorter stacked than me. I was in the BB with J 2. Two limpers to me including Lightning. The flop comes J 2 4. I make a pot sized bet with my two pair. Wolf folds and Lightning goes all in for 655. I of course call. Lightning has K J and of course catches his K on the turn to give him a higher two pair. The river is a blank and Lightning take my chips. I stick out my tongue at Lightning.

I few hands later I go all in with JJ and meet Maggie0 who has KK and she proceeds to flop a K too to add insult. I do manage to river a Jack but its not enough and I am out in 60th. Congrats to Memphis who managed to come in 4th for a decent cash.

Yesterday I was ranting about the state of baseball. I didn't deliberately pick on the Red Sox (okay I did a bit but only because I wanted to see how long it took Josie to fire a mad comment) but anyways it's not just the Red Sox and Yankees. Somebody needs to come in and really clean up the game and make it so that the poor teams have a legitimate shot at winning. I love the game and with all what's happened over the past few years with steroids and over paying players they need a strong individual to come in and tell the owners and the players union this is the way its going to be. Will it Happen?? Very doubtful.
