I got 27th out of 75 guys on Sunday. I had errands to run, so I don't know how it turned out. It was fun, but I pretty much just sat there watching everyone else play. I think I won 4 hands over 3 hours. That is some pretty crappy cards. The tournament was well run and the structure was good. After all, I played 3 hours w/o every really catching a hand. At one point it was pre-flop and I had AQ. I made the minimum raise and another guy went all in. I thought about it for a while. By folding, I could afford to see 14 more hands. I figured that I could get something playable over 14 hands.
If he is all in, he either has:
- a pair, which means I am behind or
- Ace-King, which means I am dominated
I really couldnt picture this guy that hardly played a hand to go all in with anything less. I never found out what he had. I never did get another playable hand.
There was one player that berated another for getting lucky and winning with J-7. I am not sure I will ever understand the logic in this. All you do is discourage bad card playing, which is not in your best interest. You should say, "well played" or "good hand" and encourage them to continue. Furthermore (and somewhat less importantly) it is rude. Very very rude.
