Indian Jones plays poker?

For most pocket without flopping a set, he's got me beat. I think my record is like 18. That reminds me, this guy at Barona (got a few stories about Barona actually no that I recall), anyways, this guy seemed like a regular, wears an Indiana Jones/Croc Dundee hat

and has some jeweled orb

for a chip capper (yeah caps chips stack not cards, weird). This guy was a reg for sure as he player tight and chip stack just slowly increased. Anyway, I moved like 5 times that day at the same table to change things up. This guy had a piece of scratch paper binder clipped to his sweatpants. From what I could tell he was noting his hands. Well after building a decent profit (for that game) he took a tought beat with 2nd nut flush under nut flush. He then proceeded to leave the table and move to the other table. He was unique though. Played with a pen in his hand all the time.

Made a nice run at $3775

Here is my stack at 32,300 after I just finished Level 5 at the MLK $100 buy-in, $2ok EPP, at Viejas. It was 300/600/50 and we were headed to break. I was moved to a new table and e very first hand I played, I won on a huge pot. I was in the BB w/8Td and shipped it AIPF when I was isolating the SB after he pushed. Turns out a MP limper had KK. (Limped with KK, yeah pretty sneaky). Well, I showed that table who is in charge as I magically flopped trip tens to triple up. I covered the SB and definitely did not expect that MP limper to have kk, but the flop was TT5, so go ahead and ship!

Long story short, I went pretty dead from there. I was able to pickup a few pots, but for the most part I went pretty dead. I ended up shipping 7 purples at 2/4 purple with a 2 red anted from UTG with 72s thinking that if SB and BB call I am suited and probably pretty live. SB called and the BB folded even though he as getting 86% equity on the call. It was final table bubble so he was no wanting to risk it. I was all in for my tournament life and managed to spike a 7 against the A9o SB, but the turn was a 9 so I was out as the Bubble Boy or $225 in 11th.
