Hi All
I'm well chuffed. Last night I won a poker tournament. It cost me $5 to enter and I won $225.
The last table went like a dream. I limped onto it in 10th place, with only 12,000 chips. The blinds were 1500/3000 by this time, so I didn't have long to make a move. The next hand I got two queens. Two people went all-in and I called it. Out came another queen and I was in 7th place, with a lot more chips. As the game went on, people kept knocking each other out, while I just kept quiet. It then was down to 3 of us. I had about 40,000 chips and the other two had well over 100,000. After a few hands one of them went all-in and I hoped the other would take him out, which he did.
I was really pleased, but only having 20% the chips of the other person, was happy to come 2nd. I got a few good hands and played really aggressive, the opposite to how I'd been playing, and I think gave the other guy a fright. I crawled up to get just ahead of him in chips, and got 9 8 suited. I played the hand and 8J came out. He must have had a J as he placed a reasonably small bet, so I called it. Then joy, out came the 10. He put in a bigger bet, and I thought the odds of him having 9Q were slim so I went all-in. He called and I won!
Great fun and a nice profit!
