Octopus Overlords

Check

FWIW, itaiyo has a job with a goofy schedule that frequently takes him out of town for strange periods of time. So there's no telling when he may or may not be online.

Any guesses as to what his job is? (Yes, I'm jealous of the employeed...)

This is the last hand before our Michigan trip (and even then I'm not sure we'll complete it). We'll be out from 13 June through 24 June. I *may* have sporadic internet connection during the first half of the trip, but it remains to be seen whether I'll have time to run the tournament. Likely I'll try to advance things if/when I can, but nobody will be on the 24-hour clock during that period.

Damn. All in eh. I have a King with a pretty good kicker. Are you betting trip Kings, or a full house though? ... Hmmmm....

I'm not sure your bet after the flop puts you on 2 pair, and I'm not sure your preflop bet puts you on Big Slick. K/10 perhaps?

If you had the fullhouse, why go all in now? Why not draw me into another bet first; or check to me? No.... no full house...

Last time you slow played 2 pair all the way to the end where you made your fullhouse.

Well, I think you have a K and a low'ish kicker. I think that you think I'm chasing a flush, perhaps and trying to push me off it. I could be wrong but there is only one way to find out.

Call.

Just a reminder, I'm out of town until June 24th, and will have sporadic internet connection during this time. There will be NO 24-hour rule enforced while I'm away, and Ralph will *not* be auto-folded during this period (nor will anyone else who is set to AWAY, although folks set on AWAY when I return will be auto-folded as normal).

Cards are out, good luck to the five of you.
