One of the best parts of the North Carolina trip has been playing Poker with my brother's family and Thom. Thom has been the big winner up to now but last night my luck finally changed. I also decided to change my strategy a little and to lay off the early hands because the my brother's kids tend to burn themselves out on the early rounds pretty quickly. In fact I was joking with them that they were going all in on hands like a '6-3 off suit'.
So last night we were playing tournament style and at one point we were all all-in. Thom won that hand and took everyone except me out. He had 40,000 units, I had about 10,000. I then doubled up three times to take the lead back, which was really exciting. I got a little conservative then and got dealt a 6-3 off suit. I limped in and got the flop which had a six and a three. I checked, Thom raised and I raised again. Fourth street came with a King, again I checked, Thom raised and I raised again. On fifth street Thom went all in and I called. He had the King and I had two pair and finally won a tournament on the exact hand I had been telling the kids not to play all week.

Joni and I were so tired we let it go, though someone else probably would have won if you'd used the right deck!
