That Was Almost Awesome...

Just came in 38th place of 4133th players in another $2 NL Hold 'Em tourney.

Got knocked out, on a bad play on my part: Called with my 10th place chip-stack, pre-flop, and ran into a brick wall:

All in all, though, this was a really good showing- if not a bit disappointing, seeing as I was at one point in 4th place, and on pace to win hundreds on this one...

Bleh... anyways, given the recent success I've had lately with tournaments, I think I'll be playing more of them now, despite the fact that they have greater variance than cash games.

Finishing 8 spots from the money in a tournament where you need to be 27th out of 2,700 or better to cash, is a lot like getting kicked in the balls with a steel-toed boot.

That being said, there were some good hands that I got to play in there, including my new signature hand, the "0 and 1, Inapporpriate Cop-A-Feel Special"

As you can see, sometimes you don't need to have the best hand to win pots. You also don't need to be particularly good at poker to bluff, apparently.
