For people into poker tournaments this week I actually won 1st place!! The way I did it was first I took control of the dealing and made sure that new cards were being dealt, sometimes before the old cards were all cleared away. We used two decks to keep the play moving fast. What happened was because of this I saw a lot of hands and my chances of making some dough before the freezout round grew and grew. In the nd I had 4000 chips, unlike last week where I had 2800.

The other thing that helped was that gambling donkey was not there. The biggest gambler was after no time in the freeze out section. This way great because then I could begin playing poker and maybe my raises could finally be taken seriously. Some of the better players were also leaning to keep their pots smaller. I hot a bit lucky with a great hand. An all in A5 which ended up turning into a straight!

When there were just three players left, we were all good players. One of the players was passive and one was aggressive. I played by betting when I sensed weakness and then I would fold when I didn’t have a match. I made sure to always be satisfied t take blinds even if I have an AK because nothing is really a totally secure win. In the end I came out first place.
