I'm lazy. Congrats to Cousin BJ on his Main Event Win!
Sorry this took so long. Both of you who read this should expect more timely updates for sure. I've been in a peculiar mood as of late and procrastination will be my favorite word tomorrow. Perhaps the next day. But here it goes.
BJ won it all ! The $50 NL Holdem Main Event Tourney is over ! $400 into the bankroll of my favorite cousin. BJ played tight all night, getting down low and coming back with big hands time after time. He held out to beat Jason in a back and forth heads up match that saw some big chip swings on some mediocre hands.
I got busted out with K 10s when some guy who had never been to the game before decides to call my post flop bet when I hit my King with his inside nut straight draw after seeing the next card come off the deck. We both saw it I'm sure. I saw it was a 10 and it gave me two pair. He saw it and then decided to raise after saying call. It was a sticky situation and if I knew the guy at all It might have ben an ugly scene. Oh well, I saw the 10 and was happy to see it, I guess that's what I get.
I did come home late and manage to run my recent $25 deposit on Ultimate Bet into nearly $70. Not anything major but it might spell a turnaround for the online game that had deteriorated to the point of flounder.
I promise a better post when the next game comes around. This week I am off to visit family and won't be playing. Please

Sorry to hear about the unfortunate turn of the cards. You mentioned a "call raise" and thought I would ask you about your card clubs etiquette, when a player makes this kind of mistake. In our club the verbal commitment is binding like most if not all casinos, but, we have made some exceptions.
In our last game which was a NL cash game Cinci made a bet which I thought put me all in so I said “call all in”. I did have the bet covered, technically it should have been a call, but the table understood my meaning and let it go as a all in bet.
Another time Cinci announced raise but I think only I heard it, he then proceeded to put the amount of chips necessary for the call on the table announcing “here is my call” reached back for more chips to constitute the raise and announced the amount the raise would be. To me it was completely fine, but, I was the only one that heard the initial “raise”.
Now I wouldn’t have cared if the table forced my call instead of the all in and Cinci would have conceded the raise to a call if nobody heard his raise. Our club members know each other very well and when we make a mistake we will deal with it and take our lumps. Or if the table agrees they understood the intentions they are willing to let mishaps slip. (they will make fun of you all night, but that’s to be expected)
How do you handle these situations with newer players that come to the game?
