I hope everyone had a good summer break. All is well on my end. None of our Norwegian friends/family were injured in the July attacks thankfully. With all the ranting about that topic in the newspapers, I'm going to stick to ranting about poker here.
The next Home Game Club tourney is scheduled for Sunday, 28 August.
Here is the schedule for the rest of the year. The software won't let me set them so far in advance, but these dates are set in stone (even if I can't play myself):
August: Sunday the 28th
September: Sunday the 18th
October: Sunday the 16th
November: Sunday the 13th
December: Sunday the 4th
I can also mention that I won't be continuing with the Home Game Club in 2012. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough interest. I'm going to try once again to get a regular live game going instead.
I hope to see you on the 28th, and good luck at the tables!

Confusing play
Hi guys,
I've been playing a couple of times lately, and doing ok. Quite a number of $7 50/50, there are both fun, and fairly easy to make money on.
Last weekend, I was playing my favourite tourney $4.50 180 players, and busted out on 29th place with following hand. I had been too long on that table, but I had the impression that the opponent was a steady player.
The hand was like this (leaving the players names for a change)
Hitting the 2 top pairs on the turn, I was absolutely sure that I was ahead, and indeed I was right. I was completely aware of the fl draw, of course, but I did consider the guy to be a good player, so I was sure he would fold a fl draw. Completely wrong, as you can see. WHAT A DONK, was my first thought. He had appr 20% chance of winning the hand, and I would have folded instantly. Well, just another a BB, and ok with it.
The problem is indeed that this player has some nice stats, as you can see yourself.
So either he was completely drunk or on tilt, or I made some basic mistake somewhere.
I tend to believe that the fault was mine, but I can't figure out how to play such a hand against such a good player. For the record, the fellow ended 3rd with a nice win of some $83.
Any ideas
PS: God summer to everybody.
