Later on Tilt
LEVEL 6 OMg!  I just folded my queens when I timed out trying to type a 2.5X BB bet.  And why do I insist on simply calling from the blinds with speculative hands.  I need to be raising or folding here.

First place will bring a commanding $252K!!!   I had a good table draw with a nice mix of players.  We had them all: don

Another second place….still no victor cigar!
I took second in the Daytona Beach Kennel Club’s Razz Tournament last night.  Due to time constraints the tournament winner was determined by chip count.  DBKC provide a nice trophy to Tony Messing.  The payout was chopped six ways. The happy money winners include:  Me!  Chris Cosenza, Joshua Wall, Joshua Peets, Mike
