Strong Tournament Results
No doubt that our little crew has went from playing a lot of tournaments to rarely playing them due to the high variance but they are great for breaking up the monotony of the party cash games.
After months of not playing in any MTT, I played in a 40 fpp tourney last night and finished 12th (top two pay). Not the finish I wanted but definately a satisfying result considering the ghetto play.
A few days back, bjy unfortunately bubbled in a 20$ Stud tourney... 17th. Obviously it sucks bubbling in any tourney but considering he's got an insane rate of cashing and making final tables in stud tourneys... I think he'll survive.
And finally, today JM just missed out on making a final table in a 5$ turbo MTT.
My lasting impression about my tournament was the quality of play was nearly ridiculous. People calling bets on the river with the nuts instead of raising, pushing in tens of thousands of chips to open the pot when the pot is relatively small and of course the overplay of AK and small pairs. If it wasn't so difficult to wade through this ghetto consistently, there might be some regular money in it.

Just 'bubbled' again in a $20 stud tourney. 16 got paid, I finished 15th. Not bad to cash, but I was aiming for the final table from the start. Oh well.
