Saturday afternoon I got my internet back again (hopefully for good this time) so I was able to take advantage of the $100 reload at Empire. I then proceeded to play some of the poorest poker I’ve played in a long time. The cards were cold and I was impatient so I pushed second best more than once. But I was getting lucky. The combination of hungry fish and lucky rivers helped me to post an extra $136 for the 500+ hands it took me to unlock the bonus. And this was after being down $75 early.
The worst was when I pushed someone all-in with AQ on a KJxx board on a bluff. I’m called quickly and when I see no A or T on the river, I figure I’ve just donated a healthy chunk of change. Except that my A high was good enough to take the pot. He called me down with AT and the flush draw. Biggest pot I’ve ever won with only A-high.
