Took part in a 46-player play-till-you-bust Texas hold'em tournament last night at The Politician's cousin's boyfriend's house. My usual strategy of half-feigned igonorance was enough to carry me to the third of seven poker tables, where my actual ignorance caught up with me and I went out in sixteenth place.

The other Lawrentian's fared better; Jonas was ranked tenth, Freshman Matt was seventh, and, three hours after I'd stopped playing, The Politician finished second and took home the $55 prize.
