  September 25, 2007

  Decided I'd give this site a try on a very limited basis. Deposited $25 (the minimum) just to see what I thought of the real money games. I'd already played a little bit of play money and a couple of freerolls and it was maniac city. But I figured with nothing at stake, most players go manic so I'd see how the real players were.

  I played in a $5 tourney to start. (I know, too big for a $25 bankroll but just testing the waters here). I saw a total of 2 flops. I raised 3x BB with . BB went all in for about 60% of my stack. I called. He turns over . Flop comes . So I'm short stacked with about 400 in chips. 3 hands later I get . I raise 3x BB from UTG. Table folds around to BB who raises me all in with . You know what happened next. He spiked a Q on the flop and I'm out.

  Moved to a ring game. Short story...same luck.

  On to another tourney. I played well until I had tripled up. I get . Guy raises me all in. I had him 2 to 1 in chips and he shoved all in 2 hands ago with so I figured I was probably good. He turned over so I figure a split is coming......until clubs give him a flush for the win. I'm back to where I started the tourney and the blinds are coming. I get . Of course I push all in. BB calls with . Flops him a 7 so bingo-bango, I'm done.

  So now I sit with about $5 left. Don't think I'll be on this site much longer.
