My Friends, I would like to thank everyone for your prayers, well wishes, and thoughts of good JuJu lovin’ you all sent my way in support of the Heartland Poker Tour tournament I participated in over the past couple of weeks. Your support and friendship in my life is greatly appreciated. In any event, I’m out of the tournament. I played well, but my cards weren’t falling in my favor. All my opening hands never caught a flop, but one, which won me a nice pot with a full house. Other than that, my next sweet hand of pocket JJ were busted out on runner runner trip tens to the river. I tried to push everyone off the pot early on with my jacks and the guy next to me who was a calling station maniac called me down all the way to the river to catch his trip ten. The blinds were moving up and I wasn’t catching anything, and the flops just didn’t fit. I needed to make a big move, so I went “all in” pre flop, in position, in hopes to double up with AK suited diamonds. I had a caller with pocket QQ that held to the river. If only I had the cards I had last weekend when I took down the qualifier with domination over all other chip stacks. It just wasn’t meant to be for this one. This Heartland tournament is the biggest Heartland tournament to date with the prize pool over $800,000.00, with a first place prize around $250,000.00 to the winner. 420 players made it into the championship rounds, and I’m very happy to have made it into the championship level of the tournament. Oh well, maybe next time. Once again, thank you so much... I love you all! 🙂 Peace Billy Hollems
