Here are a couple hands from the home game I played in last night, tourney style. Tourney only pays top 2, these hands are all with 3 left.

Hand 1
Blinds 20/40, 3 handed. I have about twice the chips the BB has. (let's call em 1500, 600). I'm on the button, dealt 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and limp in.
SB folds, BB checks.
Flop

BB hesitates, checks, then says, "oops I wnated to bet" (yeah..seriously), so I check.

Anyone wanna help me out here? I wasn't too far behind the big stack before I ran up against these 3 hands, all within about 15 minutes. Crippled me, had to go into all-in/fold mode &amp; didn't get cards, got blinded away pretty much.
