Flop comes Q x x, turn a Q, river a Q. Losing to quads sounds much better! Well as long as we are doing revisions…the hand you had JJ I had Q 8. Flop comes Q x x, turn a Q, river a Q.

I couldn't remember exactly, but knew I flopped the full house. I admit that was a suckout on the Q5 hand. It was a great laydown on your part. I probably didn't play that correctly, but I was trying to be a bit more agressive that night and decidedly wasn't going to give many free cards especially if I hit a lot of redraws. I agree, those are a blast. Ahh, thanks Al for filling that in. I couldn’t remember exactly, but knew I flopped the full house.

You actually had 88 in the small blinds when the flop came 448. I couldn't believe you'd bet a full house so I gave it zero consideration. I figured you for one 8 but not 2. Great play to switch that up from time to time and I've done that to some folks online who seem to have a propensity to call. Anyway, I have a str8 and flush draw the whole way and caught the str8 on the river. That was the hand you busted me on. The other hand, you caught the flush on the river and I laid down the ace high str8. Can't wait for the next tourney. These are just a damn fun time. I can fill in some of the details….

For the record I have a pretty good memory which helps. Also, I have no shame. I take notes during the games. I used to walk away from the table or try to hide my note taking, but these days, I don't care anymore and whip out my reporters notebook at anytime... anywhere. I've been writing in tiny notebooks for almost a decade so I'm really used to jotting down stuff all the time anyway so it's very natural. My live game notes are better than when play online because I know I can't rely on hand histories to replay the hands afterwards. Well said. For the record I have a pretty good memory which helps.

Nice report Chris :) I wish I could get out to my friend’s house for live poker also before I head to Black Bear.

Just play those for fun. Especially when the field gets larger it becomes really hard to win consistently.
