Well, this weekend should be interesting. Having a live tournament over at my buddy’s house, there should be 10 of us, with a $20 buy-in; winner gets about $100. After that’s done, we’re doing a small ($5) Omaha hi tournament, that’s gonna be winner take all. Plus, I have the PokerStars Blogger tournament at the same time. So, I get to bring my laptop, and play int eh PokerStars tournament while I play the live one. Should be a lot of fun.

So, played my first SnG since I got this thing, figured I’d do the (somewhat) logical thing and post how I did.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold’em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (8 handed) converter
saw flop|saw showdown
Button (t1360)
Hero (t955)
BB (t2265)
UTG (t1420)
UTG+1 (t2340)
MP1 (t1900)
MP2 (t970)
CO (t2290)
Preflop: Hero is SB with 2
, J.
2 folds, MP1 calls t150, 3 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.
Flop: (t450) 4, J
, A (3 players)
Hero bets t805 (All-In), BB calls t805, MP1 calls t805.
Turn: (t2865) T (3 players, 1 all-in)
BB checks, MP1 bets t600, BB calls t600.
River: (t4065) J
(3 players, 1 all-in)
BB checks, MP1 bets t345 (All-In), BB folds.
Final Pot: t4410
Main Pot: t2865 (t2865), between Hero and MP1. > Pot won by Hero (t2865).
Pot 2: t1200 (t1200), won by MP1.
Pot 3: t345 (t345), returned to MP1.
Results in white below:
Hero has 2 J (three of a kind, jacks).
MP1 has A
T (two pair, aces and jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins t2865. MP1 wins t1545.
I’m the Hero in this, and I used this to make it to 3rd place, and winning $10. Hoorj for me!

Thanks, Carrie for the invite here. I’ll use this as a place to post my bitchings, and gloatings, of my poker playing.
A bit of a backstory, though. Started with a $100 bankroll, split between Paradise Poker and Full Tilt Poker. Managed to get it up to about $150, then moved over to Pokerstars. Well, I’ve about busted on Full Tilt and Paradise, but I’ve got about $70 in my Pokerstars account. I mostly play $6 + .50 SnGs, or $5 + .50 MTTs.
