Not sure how to make these Tournie posts. I play 20-40 to 40-80 limit holdem in LA and San Diego as my job, trying something new. (seeing my friend make more in one day than I have made all year will do that!) I know little about tournie and no limit...
Pokerstars and its $10 rebuy. The rebuy period is over and the blinds are like 300-600. I have 35000 and I am in 13th out of 200 or so.
Hand one: I get AcKc on button. EP raises 1800. I reraise 4600. I just thought this was a good amount, i dunno. He calls. Flop J22r. He checks, I bet half the pot. He calls. He now has 8000 left. Turn is a blank. He checks, I check. River blank. He bets all in and I fold.
Hand two. A little while later. I get AQo in SB. Button open raises 3800. Blinds are 400-800. I have $24000 left. I have him covered by only 2000.
I go all in. He thinks and calls with 88. I lose and go out on the next hand.
Help me with these hands, and tell me the best no limit and tournie books (i got Sklansky), thanks.
