the most aggravating thing about poker is watchin people win with the worst hands.

I was in a tournament last thursday. when i set down at my table i figured i might stand a chance to make the final table since everyone at my table except 2 player was not a regular to this casino.

did I think wrong.

my first hand i ended up splitting with a novice/home game hero at best. after that it was all down hill for me.
a few hands later i had a K-10 suited in late position and the novice who was in the big blind raised, I and 2 others called. the flop showed a K-10-8 the novice raised, the turn 5, at this point figured i better raise or someone will draw out on me, so i rasied, everyone except the novice folded then the river showed a A, i checked he rasied so i called, in the end he had an A-8 off suit. I nearly went insane after seeing this, this guy was raising with an A-8 offsuit and got lucky on the river. after that he was the chip leader in the tournamet of about 80 players.

i was watching this guy win so many pots with the worst hands. another hand this guy called an all-in with a Q-6 offsuit and won on the river to pair his 6.

as for me the only hand good hand i had was the split i had with this guy. there's nothing you really do when your getting cards like 2-2, 2-4, 7-4,9-3 except fold.

in the end it was the blinds that knocked me out.
