Have some fun

First of all, congratulations to SnailTrax . Finished 2nd in last weeks MATH, but followed it up this week with a 1st place win! WTG! That is impressive.

Sitting around tonight after my donk out of the MATH, playing some cash games and having a few beers with Hawkette. I love hanging out with my wife. She is so fun when she is railing me in cash games. Anyway, I decided to step up a level for a bit. See what happens. What would you do in these hands?

jamyhawk wins the pot ($47.50) with a pair of Tens<--was kind of surprised to see a 107 call at this level, but I guess that is why I should move up to the next level and start playing there. I am not real proud of playing a QTsoooooted, but I had a read and it worked out.

Stay patient.....
