The Tournament That Never Ends
Last night I played at a tournament at Kilgus' house. $10 buy-in with $10 re-buys for the first hour and a half. Blinds increased every 30 minutes. Yes, i said it, 30 minutes. Easily the longest 11 man tournament I have ever participated in. I ended up buying in twice, and then came in 5th. Ending up down $30 for the night I have estimated a rough number of my August Income. Its probably somewhere around $200. Not bad, i guess. My month of September will most likely start off with The Labor Day Tournament at Franks. I've been playing pretty loose lately and hopefully with my ipod i can tighten up for tanks tourny.
Last night there was a hand where Frank got this youngling to lay down Aces after the river. There were two tens on the board and Frank semi-bluffed with a Flush draw on the flop. He hit a small pair on the turn and bet it out again, then when he missed on the river bet a large amount and took down a pot which was probably %25-30 of the total amount of chips. The kid ended up beating frank AJ against KT later on to win the tournament.
And now, what most of you lame ass readers have been waiting for:

Hand of the Day:
Your dealt pocket Tens on the button. The first player to act makes a large raise. The player behind him moves all-in. You have the second player covered. The next player folds, the player behind him folds aswell. Its on you. What do you do?
Heres the analysis:
1. First to act is a weak player but plays good starting hands.
2. The all-in player has a repuation to be a strong player, although you havent seen much strength except in his starting hands. He sees less than %30 of flops.
3. Pocket Tens is a strong holding however against an all-in and a probable call, and with two players behind you its not worth the call. You Fold.
The blinds fold and first to act calls. First to act shows AKo and the player behind him shows JJ. Good laydown. Just so happens the guy to your right laid down QQ. King hits the flop and it holds up.
