Brian and I played in a 140-person poker tournament at the Venetian. I haven’t played too much in the past several months and there were probably a few hands I could have played differently but didn’t due to my rusty abilities. More troublesome was a dire lack of playable hands (Brian claimed similar issues). As it was, I really only played four hands: pocket aces for no action, AQ for a split pot, all-in A8 that was called and sucked out on by QT. My final hand was shortly after that last one and saw me take my AJ up against AT, A3, and 54. As is typical, the 54 took out my “best of the bunch” hand when the flop came A54. I finished around 60th, besting Brian but not much else.
