    I played a few tourneys tonight. Made it past the 1st round on most but only won one. This could be a very interesting game. For anybody that doesn't know what Duplicate Poker is, it's a game where you are competing against other players that are sitting in the same position on other tables. They are getting the same cards as you and same flops. You play a set number of hands per round. Then the field is cut. You don't go out if you go all in and lose. You're net total just goes negative. So sometimes it's not nly how much you win but how little you lose.
    What distracts from the game is some people insist on going all in on EVERY hand, regardless of what they have. If you have someone on your table doing this and outdrawing you when the other tables don't have this, you are doomed. There's not much you can do. Call and hope that you can hit the most flops is your only play.
    If anybody has any tips, I welcome them.:-]

    Decided I'll give Duplicate Poker a shot. I like the theory behind the game AND getting in the PokerNews Freerolls for depositing only $20, how can I lose??? I'll blog later on how it goes.
    All for now.:-]
