I fought the power

I fought the power in todays DADI tournament (a tournament for poker bloggers who love the hammer), but the power was to strong for me. I was able to ride my short stack all the way into 9th place, which was exciting, but only the top 5 get paid.

Here’s the hand I went out on: I’m the shortest stack with with 94s in the big blind. GCox25 (edit: apparently high on poker’s jordan was playing as gcox :-o) limped and i checked with intent on getting all my chips in with any pair or draw. The flop gave me middle pair, but GCox had the higher pair and I wasn’t able to donk a better hand. Hopefully he’ll avenge my loss by winning the tournament.
