RT @CBHolsinger: @barrygreenstein what? If you don't resolve this in 2 min you will wake with one less follower.

I'm going to sleep. I'll let you know what happened when I wake up.

3) raise my last 9k and turn my hand into a bluff, hoping he will fold a small flush. It seemed he didn't have the nuts with his 7k bet.

Looking at 29k in the pot it seemed I had three choices. 1) fold and assume he has a flush. 2) call, hoping he has a small set or worse, ...

The ugly 10c came on the river. He thought a few seconds and bet 7k. Why not more? Does he have the small set? Does he have a small flush?

I decided to call since he'll probably leave me with some chips if a blank comes and he flopped a flush. I'm hoping he has a smaller set.

Flop came Q53, all clubs. He checked. I bet 1500. He raised to 3500. I called. 8s on turn. He bet 6k. I can raise, or call with 16k behind.

For my poker playing friends, here are the gruesome details: I had 27k at 75-150 blinds. UTG opened to 450 and I 3bet to 1300 with QhQd.

My apologies to the trusting but apparently misguided people who chose me in the PCA last longer contest. Two bad beats and I'm out early.

For the new year, I'm sticking with the things that didn't work last year. I guess you could call that the insanity resolution.
