I got a lot of face card-low card combinations like K-7 and J-2. Novice players think those are good hands, but they&#8217;re actually hands that get you into trouble. Often you will pair the face card and then find that your kicker is no good.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I fought on as long as I could. In what was a very weird pot, I was in the big blind. Two players called and, with a crappy Ten high, I decided to see the flop for free. Everybody checked the flop, turn, and river, and my Ten high turned out to be the best hand. Everyone missed the board entirely. I think that may be the worst hand with which I have ever won a pot.<\/p>\n<p>The kicker trouble I described above got the best of me, and I was the last one eliminated before the final table. Still, though, when you look back at a poker game, the question is not &#8220;Did I win?&#8221; but &#8220;Am I satisfied with the way I played?&#8221; I was. Sometimes you just don&#8217;t get the cards.<\/p>\n<p>I continue to be impressed with the way the River Rats run the games. We had a new player last night, and he was truly new to the game &#8211; he didn&#8217;t know what hands beat what, or what a &#8220;check&#8221; is. I really appreciated the way Teresa and Tucker took him under his wing and made him feel welcome. We were all newcomers to the game at some point in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>My troll had trouble standing on the felt overlays again this week, and so I lay her down in the chip holder in front of me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4482.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21698\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4482.jpg?resize=500%2C498\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4482.jpg?resize=500%2C498 500w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4482.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4482.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4482.jpg?resize=1200%2C1195 1200w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4482.jpg?w=1680 1680w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4482.jpg?w=2520 2520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I never noticed what dirty feet she has!
