Rough night at Dino's

Played last night at Dino's, and took 7th place. Pretty much card-dead the entire night (A-J and A-10 were best hands I saw - no pairs the entire evening), somehow survived for a while by defending blinds and bluffing more than normal. Took out Andy when he was uber-shortstacked after I hit trip Jacks on the flop to outflop Bridget (was told A-Q was pwned by J-5), who nearly got busted that hand, as well.

I tried a PFR against Sharon's BB a few hands later when I only had 1200 chips left with Q-2, then sheepishly flipped them over when she showed A-Q. Ace on flop hurt me, but hit runner-runner spades to hit flush comes to give me a miracle win.

Final table comes, and absolute dog shit for cards - and action before me not condusive to blind stealing. Went in for my last 1650 or so at 300/600 with A-10 UTG, called by Sharon and Nick. I hit a 10 on flop and on river, but Sharon's pocket 8's hit an 8 on flop...her full boat took me out, and justice was probably served there.

I think I'm good for the final, whenever that is - but will still have to go to make sure.

Heh...and Scott and Ronnie (or so I heard) ended up heads-up, go figure.
