I suck at Poker obv :-(

As per normal struggle valiantly through a large field and get close to something decent, and as always getting my chips in with the best hand and ALWAYS, ENDLESSLY getting SCREWED......

Taking down FIRST TrailRated SHOVEfest

Rules for this tourney were simple: ALL IN or FOLD!!!I think this win shows two things: 1) I usually get my money in with the best hand, and 2) I get outplayed a LOT with the best hand since first place finishes are not a typical result. Obviously lots of room for improvement ;-) I did lose one all in KK to JJ.....so typical..
