+EV Tournament

The +EV comic has been having weekly tournaments at Pokerstars. Rob and decided to join in at the last minute. Besides, one of my goals from this month was to play in more tournaments, so this was the perfect opportunity.

There ended up being seventeen players. There was a bounty on Snagglefood's head (the comic creator) and first place would also get a copy of his comic.

So the game starts of mostly uneventful, especially for me. CARD DEAD. I was not getting dealt anything, not even limpable hands. Then in the SB, when the blinds are 15/30 I'm dealt 9Ts. It's folded to me, so I raise. The BB calls. I catch a nine on the flop, but there is also an ace. I CB 3/4 of the pot and he calls. The turn is a rag card. I bet out again and get raised. I fold. My stack is down to just under 700 chips. Finally, four hands later, I'm dealt QQ. Well, let's see what I can do with these. I raise and get a re-raise from the BB. I don't have much of a stack, so my choices are limited. I go all-in. He flips over AA. I don't catch another queen and I'm out in 15th place. Well, at least, I wasn't the first one out.
