I have been playing the Tuesday night deepstack at the Island regularly. May 29: I took a 3-way split of first place for about $700. June 5: I played really badly and got knocked out right before the last two tables. Bad girl. June 12: I took another 3-way split of first for another $700. June 19: I took 3rd place for $325.
The third place finish was bittersweet because I had A-10 and my opponent had A-8 which just happens to be the big hand of the past few weeks. I have won at least 3 big hands from behind with A-8. He hit his 8 on the river or I would have won. Phooey.
Nevertheless, I spent $260 on buy-ins for the four tournaments and (after tips and deducting buy-ins) had a profit of just over $1,300 so I really can't complain. I think I'll keep playing this one.

I must also wean myself from the cash game...not running well, but tournaments are o.k. Playing tonight at home in the Legion tournament. Feelin' lucky.
Go get em!!
Everyone has tells and betting patterns. Some mix it up and give false tells, but that is a tell in itself. Betting patterns can be varied and should be mixed up so they are not obvious, but consistency can be a strength, for instance betting the same amount on draws and made hands. Congrats on the FT's and money. Playing tonight at the Legion hoping for 2 in a row. Will be in Tri-cities on Sunday thru Thursday. Hope to see you.
