Today I played in the seniors tournament at Harrah's Cherokee, part of the WSOP-C series.
The Deuce-Four did more than its share of work for me in the first couple of hours.
First time I had it, I raised, got a couple of callers, flopped a gutshot, and hit the wheel on the turn.
Second time, I flopped a pair and a flush draw, raised the initial bettor, and won the pot.
Third time was the big one--a full double-up. 2h-4h. I raised, got a couple of callers, flopped a flush, busted a guy with the same size chip stack who had flopped top pair/top kicker.
And finally, I must report that I overheard somebody at the table behind me saying, at one point, "I folded deuce-four. I woulda made the nuts." Some people are just too dumb to play poker right!
I made the money. There were 513 entries, 54 got paid. I finished in 33rd place for $530. Shoved my last 9 big blinds with AJ in late position, called by the big blind with A-10. Flop was 10-10-5, and that was all she wrote. If not for that, then, as Marlon Brando famously said, I coulda been a contender, instead of a bum, which is what I am.
