I played in a $5+.50 tournament at Ultimate Bet last night. Well, I played in two, but got knocked out fairly early in the first one. In the first one, I get KT, flop came ten high, I go all in. I get called by a JT. Turn Ten. River Jack. And I’m out. Bad beat, but no big deal.
In the second one, I did quite a bit better. Early on, I got pocket aces, made a preflop raise, and got a caller. Flop came AxA. I flopped quad aces, and couldn’t make any money on it. checked it to the river, and made a small bet (which was called).
A little while later, I get dealt JJ on the button. A raise comes from middle position, I reraise, and the small blind goes all-in. The initial raiser then also raises all-in, and I call. The small blind has 66 and the raiser has 99. No one gets any help, and I take two people out of the tournament. This also makes me the chip leader with around 350 (of an initial 679) left.
I only really remember one other big hand. I got Q♣J♣ on the button. I limp in. Flop comes A♣K♣4♣. UTG bets, I think for a while, and just call. The turn is a blank, he bets again, and I push him all in. He calls. I show my nut flush, and he shows pocket fours for the set. The river doesn’t pair the board, and I take someone else out of the tournament.
I ended up finishing in the money, 39th out of 679. I got paid like $15.50 on my $5.50. I was happy with my finish, and will be doing more of them in the future.

Good job in the tourney!
Also, nice use of the suit characters in the post.
I just wandered over here and I’m too lazy to find a proper way to express this concern:
You forgot 8-Bit Theater under Amusements. Just go to nuklearpower.com, read the cast list, and start with the first comic. Then all shall be forgiven.
Swank! good job.
