My friends and I had a poker game 90 minutes away at someone's apartment and three of us decided to carpoo in a tiny car. The other non-driver and I decided to hit a freeroll to see who got shotgun. The first person eliminated would have to sit in the back. (Note: Piles of crap had to be shoved aside to make room for anybody in the back seat of this car)

So I sat in the back on the drive up. 90 minutes. It sucked. I stared getting car sick by the end.
We agreed that the first of us eliminated from the home game would have to sit in the back on the way back.

The home game had three tables. My table was weak (which is good). People didn't know what they were doing, and would do no-no's like picking up their cards and making unintentional string bets. Much of the table limped in on every hand.
Much of the shuffling sucked too.
I never corrected these errors though, as I didn't want to embarrass anybody into playing more conservative.
I did make several corrections like "No she actually won that. See, she has a full house" though, as I thought I had an ethical duty to do that.

That was the first game I ever played where I never showed a hand.

The driver and I were about even at the break, but the friend I had the seating arrangement bet with wasn't doing well. He had a guy on his left who kept calling his raises, and would end up winning with garbage. Basically my friend crippled himself by not tightening up enough against a calling machine.

After break, after bailing out of a hand where my A/K didn't connect and my bluff was re-raised (by pocket Queens I was told) I looked up and saw my friend sitting off to the side drinking his punishment beer. Beautiful! It was a relief to know I had the front seat on the way home.

For the record, when we play poker we don't drink. But after the game, while waiting for our friends to finish, we drink beer we brought. Said beer is the cheap and nasty kind, as the beer shouldn't be enjoyed too much. We call this "punishment beer." "Loser beer" is acceptable as well.

I never really caught many cards. I had A/J twice, which both failed to connect with the clop but I won anyway. I had 10/10 which was my big winner after bluffing a guy off a monster pot. I also had an A/K which cost me a lot of chips when I made a continuation bet on rag-filled flop and was re-raised. One other time I was the big blind with something like 9/6 and flopped two pair.

I think my ring games affected my play too much. I probably should have been more aggressive.

I was in the middle of the pack when we were down to two tables. The blinds kept doubling, so it started to become a crap shoot. I had an average stack, which means that I had enough chips for three rounds.
I had an Ace and I thought about shoving all-in but I decided against it. Everyone folded to the big blind. Doh!
I had another Ace the next hand and though about shoving again, but decided not to. Everyone folded to the big blind again. Doh!
The next hand I had K/Q, so I shoved all-in, and was called by two players. Doh! One ended up making a straight, one made a flush, and I made nothing. Since they both had me covered and were playing against each other to the river I never had to turn my hand up. When I saw I lost I just mucked the cards.

The guy who invited us, the friend who drove, ended up winning the whole thing. Good for him.
