I was as card dead as I've been all trip (best hands were 88, K9h, A3h, ATo, and A7o), but I managed to stay disciplined and minimize losses. I lost about $12 more than I should have in one pot (basically the inverse of the Aladdin hand - double paired board and I had bottom full house) but other than that I played well. My best hand was calling down the aggressive player with a low pair - it's satisfying to make a solid read.

Highwaytime was playing blind - not looking at his cards except occasionally on later streets when he was convinced that an opponent was not going away regardless of the action. Fortunately for him he never showed down with total crap - the worst was king high, and he won a pot with ace high. He also had a surprise two pair one time. But the best moments were getting people to lay down hands. It was interesting to watch him, knowing that every bet was a move - it got to the point where, when he was in a hand, I could usually guess when he was going to bluff people off. For a $2-4 game it was fairly tight, which helped him. At one point, a guy mucked two pair face up.
