Last night was another fun night at Clearwater. I played like a maniac for the first hour up and down. Changed gears for the next hour and made final table as the short stack. Was under the gun and needed to push with any two cards and look at one and see an ace and push in. Get 4 callers and end up having aces! LOL!. Made it to third place so not too bad of a night.
I played all night with the guy that got second. In a hand at the final table he reraised an all-in with KQ suited. He said it was because he had such a good hand. The player that had moved in first had A-3. I asked him why he had reraised instead of just calling. He said it was because his K-Q was ahead of the A-3. We tried to explain to him that he was about a 60-40 underdog but couldn't understand because his queen was higher then the other guys 3. Got to love bar poker. I believe that K-Q is the most over played hand in bar poker. So many players call a raise with the hand. Why! The best that you are probably going to be is 40% to win unless there is an under pair then maybe 50-50. Now if you add in more callers it even increases the chance that you running into A-K or A-Q or a big pair. K-Q is a decent hand to raise with if you have position but beware you may not have the best hand after the flop and don't commit too many chips unless you are sure you have the best hand. K-Q bar poker rule. Unless you are the aggressor, just fold. Live to play another hand.
On a non poker note. It was sad to see that on Tuesday Bruce Allen of the band The Suburbs passed away. I saw them 3 times in concert and still have their greatest hits CD. Here is a link to the news story. www.wcco.com/entertainment/bruce.allen.dies.2.1357904.html.
Or go to www.youtube.com and search for The Suburbs band. I especially like the song I like cows!

Clearly it's hard to argue with him. Not only does he have 2 picture cards and the A3 guy just as an ace, but his KQ is sooted! He's got to have the better hand, doesn't he? ;)
