Poker and BP

So, I'm quitting Boston Pizza for a position as assistant coach of the Midland Secondary School senior cheerleading team. Which is kind of funny, because some of these kids have waaaay more experience than I do. But, it should be fun, and it's only 4 hours a week. So, it's shouldn't conflict with my CFA studying.
On another note, I played in the weekly poker game at Bleachers last night and came sixth! We don't play for money (or at least, I don't), but I managed to come 6th out of about 60 people. I played fairly loose at the start while the blinds were small which led to a run of catching top pair and other small hands. But, those small hands were enough to win me the pots. Then once the blinds went up I started playing more conservatively. Finally, I was at the final table and in sixth place. I also had the smallest stack of chips. I caught K-10 suited hearts and went all in. I got called by a dude with A-10 suited clubs. I caught a K on the flop, but he got his A on the river. So, I packed my bags and went home. Fun night though!
