Speak of the Devil

After bemoaning my failure to cash in recent Razz tourneys, I knuckled down and managed a second tonight (my first ever second at Razz).

The guy who beat me was called Cardsharps_net. He won the HOSE event and came second in the omaha8 at the last FTOPS series, which is pretty impressive.

He was sat to my left throughout the whole tourney and was very complimentary about my play, which was encouraging (I wasn't fishing for compliments).

I was, however, a bit in awe heads up and lost for the first time ever at Razz heads up. I think he psychologically weakened me with compliments when we were 3 and 4 handed. Since that has never happened before I was caught a bit off guard.

But hey. I'm happy and more determined to play in the Razz at the next FTOPS.
