ok 1st going into the players then I will tell story, gonna explain them by seats.


seat 1 : decent player, seemed to fold alot. seemed capable of laying down big hands, he was one of the actul decent players.

seat 2: this player I concidered bad, was not able to lay down hands and would limp with big hands. Knew you had to have a big hand to call him because he wouldnt lay it down.

seat 3: really bad player, would call all-ins with any 2. Really had no concept of the game but enjoyed playing.

seat 4: internet free money player, he knew the ABC's of poker but had no concept of position or how to play your stack. Knew I could push this guy around pretty eaisily.

seat 5: another decent player like seat 1, this guy knew how to play.


seat 6: ok this guy knew the basics but he was way too tight of a player, never raised unless he had it and was very predictable.


seat 7: my buddie, I know this guy and exactly how he plays, not worried about him at all because I have played with him so long and he dosent change up his play.




ok so the story, my buddie told me the other day about this $50 by in tourney at his house. I cant play because I cant send anymore money this week because I have already spent too much so I told him I will deal for him. Ok so we get there and he wants to start with 10k chips but hasnt figured out how to value them yet. So I take about 20 minutes figuring all that out for them and set the chips in front.

ok so the buy in was $50 with 7 people in it so $350 paying out top 2 spots, not going to go totally into the tourney but just say seat 4 ran it whole time and seat 2 limped with AA then busted with it when someone flopped full house with Q3. Well it got down to heads up and the more experienced seat 5 ended up comming back from a like 6-1 chip disadvantage to win.

Ok so I got tipped about $40 and was actully able to play the next $20 tourney with 8 people now. Pretty much just let the guys bust out over and over and didnt get involved in a big hand, had JT suited and limped with it. the very aggresive seat 4 stated he was going all in and I told him do it I wil call. Of course I wouldnt but really didnt want him to raise, he raised a little so I decided to just call. Flop came down JTX and I bet big, weak player call and origional raiser folded, I state im all in blind knowing weak player will call. turn is a A and origoinal better said damn so guess he had ace. Weak player calls with KT with gutshot and better 2 pair draw which he blanked on and origional raiser told me he had A9 or something.

ok so I pretty much dont do anything but being blinded until we get to 4 people and I pick up KK big stack limps and I push all in for not much more. 2 guys after me fold and big stack calls with A9 suited or something, the 2 folders say they each folded a ace so looks like he has 1 ace left. Board totally blanked and I double up, well 4th place guy goes out.


so we are on money bubble now with 3 left, big stack who is decent, me and weak player. Ok so big stack raises a little and I re-raise all in not to much for big stack but want to isolate with my Q T , after he thought about it a sec I decided that I wanted the weak player in so I told him "go ahead and fold to the money" and he calls. big stack has 88 and weak player has 77, what a terrible call with 77. Im excited because im live, flop totally blanks, turn is blank and river is a beuitiful Q. Ok so now its heads up and we decide to chop it up, I really think I could beat him but I was soo shortstacked and soo tired so we each took $80 and called it night.


so all in all it was real fun, went with $0 and came back with $115.
