TP Open

Ok, so the TP open was played on Wed night. Just a $5 private tourney on Stars set up by TP himself. But he had a few bounties for the tournament. First out, got their buy-in back. Going out with AA got you cash; winning at showdown with the hammer, busting TP and top 3 finishers also won extra money.

There were 35 people total and I was running great. I usually do well in these anyway, but it's nice to sit top 5 for most of the game. I was able to win the 72o bounty, I played it nice and passively, had to make sure it went to showdown.

It was $20 for that bounty, and I also got a $10 bounty for placing 2nd, then the 2nd place pay out of $42 was quite nice as well. So for a fun game with a few friends from the forum turned out to be quite profitable. I always like that.
