Still Friends?

So they are supposed to juice this tourney with an extra $500.  We all bought in thinking that's how it was going down.  When it got down to it, Demir, the floor guy, said they didn't get approval blah blah blah.  I didn't cash anyway.  So that was $65 down before I even sat at the 1/2 table.  Annoying.  

I finally get to the 1/2 game immediately after busting in the tourney.  Nice to have an open seat right away.  So Jim is sitting in seat 9.  I am in seat 6.  The old black guy with gray/white hair is sitting to my right in seat 5.  He looks at his cards and sometimes I could see.  Anyway.

Seat 5 raises and I call in the cutoff with the two red J's.  Jim also calls.  The flop comes down.  Jc 2h 9d.  Jim bets $10.  Seat 5 raises to $20 and I call.  Jim now makes it $75.  5 mucks and I eventually move in for about $200.  He asks if I have a set of 9's.  He calls after a minute and shows Js 2s.  Brutal for him.  Turn and river are obviously blanks.  Nice pot there.  Recovers for the tourney $65.  

I'm about ready to leave when I find KK on the button.  Jim is UTG and has made it $16.  There is a call from the Mexican guy and from seat 5.  I make it $45.  Jim calls.  The flop comes down Ad 3s Ac.  Eeek.  Jim checks.  I check.  The turn is a 9h.  Jim puts a bet of $60.  I call.  River is a blank and we check it down.  I show the KK and he shows JJ.  Tough one there. 

I also had a hand against the Mexican.  I have AKo.  Flop comes 5h Ks 8d.  I bet and he calls.  Turn is the 8s.  Check Check.  River is the A.  I bet out $40 and he moves in for $160.  Ahh.  I tank for a minute and get heckled by this dude who was not even in the hand.  I finally fold and the Mexican guy shows the 8c.  Nice to know.  Good day today.  After the tourney loss I was still up $271.
