Hey Zoot, you know what to do preflop in hand 1. I cringe looking at your preflop action. Ugh.

Hand 2, that bet is much to big on the end. Don't overbet the pot if you want callers in the first hand of a tourney.

[ZootMurph]

sfer... you are right, of course. I just sat down and I was looking for another table and wasn't even thinking. It is my own fault I lost that hand.

Hand 2... You're right, of course... I was hoping to get a big call from someone with them thinking I was bluffing. Unfortunately I got an allin from a guy who called preflop with J9o and he beat me.

Thanks for the input.

[Tosh]

You didn't cost yourself the hand but you must raise preflop hand 1. Hand 2 your bet on the end is ludicrous, you bet nearly 7 times the pot, what were you thinking ?
