Luckily here in Tampa we have several outlet for tournaments, not necessarily the greatest structure in the world but I love playing live, just don't have the time like I do for on-line. Usually play once or twice a week.
Tonite I decided to try out the card room at Tampa Bay Downs as they spread a nightly tournament. Rounds are 20 minutes long with 1000 chips to start and blinds at 10/20, 100 entrants. Saw some familar faces from Derby Lane and from the conversation, I picked up that the play was more solid than at Derby but that suits me just fine /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Got my card and off to the table I go where I see 2 solid players I recognize from Derby as well as respect being given to a couple of the other "locals." Time to splash!
Not catching too much worthy of play and positional plays were taken away with solid play before me. On the Cutoff, I look down to finally find an Ace but the mate is a lowly 9 and not suited. Blinds are 25/50 and I'm at T900. One early limper then LMP makes it 150 to go. He's one I recognize from Derby and I know he doesn't play trash.
What's the play here, thanks!
