Head Hunter at da S.H.O.P.

So yeah, Travis, Keenan and Noelle pick me up to head down to Pops place to play a $70+$10+$20HH tourney...da hell is the 70/10/20? If you need to be schooled one time...70 in the prize pool, 10 to the house, 20 under your stack for the Head Hunter.

Anyway, You know it....Bubble Boy E exits the show right before the money...Only 15 players today with top 3 paying out....I got a hot 4th place....Was doing fine in the tournament...keeping up with the blinds...actually folx was gettin knocked out fast really, but then again, it was only 15 players playing...get to the final table with a decent chip stack with blinds at 100-200...couple hands in, Noelle knocks out FreakinRican...then right next to him was Kevin, who got knocked out by Noelle couple hands later, Freakin was directly to my left and Kevin was directly to Freakin's Left, so they was lining up to get knocked out....Anyway, we get down to 5 and I look down to JJ in the Cut Off...UTG folds, Neil raises to 600, I call, folds around...heads up...blinds are still 100-200...(I thought about re-raising here, but decided to just smooth call to see if I can tag a Jack on the flop or give him the benefit of the doubt and just throw my hand away if an A or K hit the flop if he bets out enough)...can you tell its a disaster already? lol

Pot: t$1500
Flop was 7c9d5s

Bet is to Neil and he bets $600, I raise to $1500, he calls.

Pot: $4500

Turn: [7c9d5s] 2c

Neil checks, I bet $2700, he thinks, calls....

Pot: $9900
River: [7c9d5s2c] Ks

Neil fires out $3000....

I think...there is no way I put him on that K...wtf, im confused, count my chips...if I call it leaves me with $3100 to play with, with the blinds only at 100-200, i still have a good chance to win my chips back if im wrong...ok, I can't fold, pot is too huge...$3000 to win $12,900 I have to call...cause I think I have the best hand...."Call man, I have Jacks"

He flips K5o....wow...."nh sir" as I ship it with a bitter taste in my mouth....

Dan knocks me out...he can't decide if he wants to push or raise, or he was just hollywoodin' everyone....he ends up pushin all in, I look down to 66..."I call" he flips 88...eh...nice hand....lemme tag a 6 one time dealer!

Flop is like KhTs4d somethin stupid like that, Turn is still a blank heart, and the River for shits and giggles, not that he needed it either, tags an 8...."Burst" the bubble has been popped...."nelly, I'll jump in the box at the top of the hour" Blah Blah.....stupid tourney....

Dan takes 3rd, Diggs and Neil chop 1st and 2nd...

Game is bout to break, Nelly gets the deal for the last half hour of the game, so I decide to jump in the game for $85 bucks...Stick $100 in my pocket...

lost a couple dollars seeing the flop cheap...Im in EP and look down to AKo...I limp in see the flop, tag a K...Bet, folds to Travis, he raises me, I dont have enough to fold or just call, I move all in, he calls, flip AK, he mucks when the river hits, ships it...double up....OK...not bad....

On the button...limps to me, i open up the pot for $7, folds to Travis, he sticks $20 more, folds back to me, I call...Flop, I tag a K again...checks to me, I bet out $17, he raises me to somethin like $60, man I can't fold again...All in, he calls....river brings an Ace, 2-perrrrr....ships it again....game breaks...I pay Travis back the $200 he lent me for Pops tourney last Tuesday and the Hundred from Pops last cash game, and cash out $20 less I made in tips...Still a good night...made some money...good fun night, wasn't as packed as normal..still fun was had by all....

Travis has another $12 night after climbing out a $1100 board and after collecting $300 in debt from me and JackJr. At leasts its not a loss right? $1.09/hour isn't bad...lol, man, he played Ketchup tonight, and I must say, he can play the hell out of Ketchup...I know the Dude named Wes that was playin tonight had a rack of chips in front of him...almost $1k...well more or less like $800, but Travis took alot of that back! From now on...if you hear me say "I was playin Heinz Poker" that means I'm playin Ketchup!



**EDIT**

When I saw everyone last night, It seems that I got my story mixed up with Heinz Poker...What I saw was Travis cashin up his chips with Pops paying out $12 bucks, I was wrong, That did happen, but that was not the case...all in all, it wasn't a $12 night for Travis and Heinz poker got the best of him...guess he got the thick ketchup and couldn't crawl out the thickness of the ketchup...I don't know what happened, but being that I know what its like to be stuck like that, I'll leave it as Heinz poker got the best of his this evening.....
