Another Brutal Poker Story

By Ed Brayton

Our local charity poker room was closed this weekend, so I decided to go up to Soaring Eagle Casino to play. Went up Friday night, played $1/$2 no limit holdem all night and finished about $50 ahead. Wasn't planning to go back tonight but my buddy Bruce called and said he was going up, wanted to know if I wanted to go. So I did.

Got up there, got into a 1/2 game and played for about 45 minutes, was down about $50 when they got a $2/$5 no limit holdem game going. That game was just too juicy to pass up. The max buyin was $1000 and there was a lot of money on that table, including Bruce's money. And there was a young kid I didn't know but Bruce did who had the full $1000 buyin in front of him.
