The Mookie

I've been meaning to play in the Mookie for quite a while, for some reason I just never managed to actually do it. Tonight I actually signed up and I had a great time... for the entire ten minutes that I lasted.

I had AQs and my preflop raise was reraised by a newcomer to the table in the BB. Flop was AK7 and he lead out. I was positive that he was on a bluff/steal. No doubt about it. I pushed and he called with AK. So much for my reads. And unless the Mookie changes the night of his tourney, this will probably be the only one in which I participate since volleyball season kicks off next week. Oh well. At least I won't have to worry about trying to watch Lost and play in this tournament at the same time. I'm pretty sure that playing poker while watching a show that requires you to pay attention doesn't work out so well.
