He had TT. WHAT THE CRAP WHO OPEN LIMPS TT IN THE CO!?!?!?!??!?! I figured him for a pair, and most likely one worse than mine, so it was just a question for me of how to get the money in. I figured the shove would work better than calling and leading or c/r’ing turn, since I think he often checks behind turn and a scard card could easily fall.
Tomorrow is the $1000 6-max, and I am so due for something good to happen. ( probably don’t need to tell you that nothing else went well today either.
Tomorrow is also the first day of the debate camp I’m hosting for the Boston Debate League. It’s just a week long, every day from 9AM-2PM. I’m expecting about 20-25 kids and 5-8 teachers, and it’s going to be a diverse group with regard to age, interest, experience, etc. Thankfully I’ve got some very good volunteers who have been working with me on this, because it’s definitely not something I could do on my own.
