First Hand of a Step1

[tubbyspencer]

Wow - these people really might suck worse than a regular PP $10+1!

And yes, I'm aware my play is pretty questionable here - comments appreciated. (Then again, look what the BB called 2 all-ins with lol!)

Hi,
dont let the results confuse you: your call was very bad. most likley you are dominated by a bigger PP, and the most you can hope for is 2 overcards. IMP, risking all your chips in that situation is poor poker play.
sometimes we play well and lose. this example sould remind us that our mistakes are sometimes rewarded.
My advice to you : imagine you have lost the tourney with this hand.
