If the Grublog Poker Classic were a Greek tragedy, I'd have been killed off stage in the first act. The weapon, naturally, would have been the hammer.
In the ranking of starting poker hand strength, there is much disagreement. But what everyone agrees up on is that AA is the strongest starting hand, and 72o is the weakest starting hand.
Anyone wanna guess what I had? Anyone wanna guess what jeremy over at love and casino war had?
Despite my preflop raise, he still called. When the flop came, I wasn't scared. Sure it had a 7 and a 2, but why would that worry me? One all-in bet later, and I was out in 27th place (out of 32). Ouch.
Congrats to Mean Gene for winning it all, and to The Fat Guy for finishing second. I'm sure you'll find plenty of spectacular write-ups at the blogs featured to your left.
One last word of warning, watch out for the HAMMER!!!!!
