I'm posting this way late so I'm not sure if all the details will be perfect, but I should get it close enough!

For about the millionth week in a row I get stuck on the crappy side with no TV so I can't watch the football game, I hate this setup and I hope he changes it soon. One of the regulars brings up the idea to hire a local stripper to deal for us; we all decide we can't afford her and move on quickly...

My stack dwindles early for no particular reason other than trying to see too many flops; I get frustrated about an hour in and call an all in with AJ off, up against 66, I end up with Jacks full, nice!

A few hands later a guy to my right makes a preflop raise to about 3x, I fold, guy to my left (the asshole I mention here and there, lol) goes into a trance for about 2 or 3 minutes then comes out with an all in, everyone folds back to guy to my right, he thinks and thinks and thinks, finally convinces himself that he has overs and calls, showing Q10, guy to my left shows AA (no surprise) and it's on. The flop brings 89K, uh oh, gut shot. Turn was a blank, and the river brings the jack! OMG, the table went wild and the AA guy throws the remainder of the deck across the table and walks out, only to come back a minute later remembering he still had a few chips left. We decided it was too late and he got even more pissed and left again, this time for good.

I make the final table and we get down to five, just like last week. Blinds are 300/600, I have about 2000 in front of me, I look down at A8 and go all in, get called by AJ. First card out is an 8, yes! But then, as fate would have it, he rivers a gutshot straight and takes me out. So 2 weeks in a row I'm out in fifth and 2 weeks in a row I'm rivered. Damn.

November 24th's game has been canceled due to a death in the host's family.

Happy Thanksgiving LP!
