Tonight, I went on an old-fashioned rampage at poker and won one for the girls. I started off doing poorly, not even winning a hand until the 2-4 blinds. I think I was down to about $50. Then I won a couple of small hands and got my first big break: pocket Qs. Perfect flop too: A-Q-10. I had first decision and checked, figuring someone would bet their A (since I had raised pre-flop). I got a nibble and a medium-sized bid. I knew the guy who raised didn't have K-J so I check-raised and went all-in. He thought about it for a long time and then called - he had A-10. The hand played out and I won! After that, I was pretty much on a tear until heads up. Of the 8 people left at table, I took out 5 more and ended up heads up with Ross. Only Katie, Dave and Rob were immune to my streak. I had a bigger stack, but doubled Ross up. After that it was pretty slow for a while; I won the only big hand which put us about even. From there, I had a run of great luck: lots of pocket pairs and A-face card suited. Ross never called my all-ins, but I got 50 from him each time. Finally the last hand: I flopped mid-pair and a 4-card flush draw. Ross went all-in and I didn't believe him so I called. The turn gave him a bigger pair and the river gave me a flush! Yeah, I'm bragging, but it was a pretty fantastic comeback from the short stack (and I know I'm dooming myself for next week). I'll enjoy the feeling while it lasts. It was a fun poker night.
