Lame quail trip

I was on the fence about going, but Ed talked me into it. It was nice to go hunting, and the weather was good for camping, but WHERE ARE THE FUCKING BIRDS????!?!?!!!!? I think I saw, at the outside, 30 birds, and had decent shots at 4 of them. WTF?!?!! This was at the Promised Land! Even on slow years, there have been dozens of birds, with us ending up busting at least 6 good sized coveys over a weekend. I really don't know what the problem is. Maybe it's been too wet? The winter was mild, and it looked to me like there was plenty of food, water, and roost. Grrrrrr.
On a happy note, D shot his first quail. I'm glad he got to do that.

ToC result

It was bad. I was the first player out. I should have known better. I'll attempt to take the lesson to heart. Here's how the action went-
It's the 3rd hand of the tourney. Blinds are at 25/50, and I've already blown out a couple hundred chips to Zak with an A2c that didn't connect. No big deal, as we start with 3k, so everyone's stack is huge relative to blinds.
Anyhow, I'm in the BB with T7d. There's a limper, and Zak calld from the SB. I check my option, thinking that this is a great hand to see a cheap flop with. The flop was Kd 9d 8(not a diamond), and Zak opens the pot for 100. I bump it up to 300, the limper folds, and Zak re-raises to 600. I think he has K something, and he's trying to keep me from drawing more cards. At this point, it's 300 to call for a pot of 1050, and I'm getting better than 3 to 1 to draw at my flush and open ender (15 cards make my hand), and I think they're all good. I have ~1 in 3 to hit on the turn, so I'm getting the right odds to make the call, and GREAT odds if it's checked to the river, so I call. The turn brings something raggy, and Zak moves all-in. I thought about it a long time, knowing I was still behind, but would have the best hand if I caught. I thought about hands that he could have OTHER than K something. I dismissed trips, because he would have raised pre-flop. I decided that his (small) call indicated a face card, maybe two, and the his re-raise meant top pair. I also thought that he MIGHT have hit 2 pair with a K junk, but thought he would have bet bigger with that hand after the flop. I really didn't think that the turn would make 2 pair, because it was something silly like a 4 and that he would not be in the hand after my flop raise with a 4 in his hand. My original assessment of K something is what I kept coming back to, and I made the call. He flipped over 2 pair, 9 8 (I don't remember the suit), and I'm behind (like I knew I was). The river comes an 8d, making my flush, but making his FULL HOUSE. Whoops. I hate tainted outs.
Moral of the story? Don't call all-in with drawing hands when you have a decent stack, even when you have a ton of outs.
