Ragged Aces Poker Group

It was a rollercoaster ride playing against 24 players that you had gotten to know fairly well over the last couple of years.  All of you, Ragged Aces, but only one was going to win the biggest prize the group had played for, entry into a World Series of Poker preliminary event.  The added pressure of a buy-in five times larger than the ...

Well...I wussed out I was feeling a bit anxious about putting up $150 in a tournament structure I had never played before.  I've been on a down game this month (though I'm finally turning it around).  And since nobody else was going to go...I decided to blow this one off *shrug*.
