Another second place….still no victor cigar!
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009The field was comprised of 38 players. It was nice seeing from Ante Up magazine. There were four or five females in the field. The field seemed comprised of either beginners like me or more adept players. I overheard someone say they drove in from Gainesville. Tampa was represented by my friend, Chris Cosenza, Publisher, Ante Up magazine. Oh by the way, be on the lookout for their magazine in your favorite poker room. Ante up is considered THE resource for Florida poker.
My friend Sue drove me tonight. It was her first time to watch any poker tournament. On the drive home, she was full of questions. She wondered why a person got a penalty for talking on the phone but no one received a penalty for texting on the phone. Good point, Sue! I do wish the rules were equally enforced whatever they may be.
For some reason the cocktail waitress failed to make a last call to the tournament area. Heck, I didn’t see any server for the last two hours. I was unable to get a cold bottle of water to help calm my recurrent hot flashes. Hot flashes are not something you really understand until it happens to you. I thought cramps were bad—but this sucks more!
This was a very enjoyable evening. I took great pleasure in playing something besides NHL. This was my first Live razz tournament. This experience makes me realize it is time for me to learn the game of razz. To facilitate this goal, I will be holding razz tournaments at my poker room beginning in mid-December.
