Why is it that the less time you have to complete tournament the deeper you get. Case in point: Started playing the 2:00 pm $3 rebuy on stars. We were having company in at 7:30 so I figured plenty of time right? Wrong. After 2300 people signed in on with rebuys I found myself in 15th with 30 left and yes it was 7:30 with the doorbell ringing. Rapid playing , bad decisions, I was out in 21st. Can't complain but why doesn't this deep happen when one has plenty of time.
Hand of the tournament: My QQ vs. AK vs. AK. No A or K hits the board and I triple up.

Poker Boneyard
Poker Boneyard
Well, I finished 7th in the Mookie last night. Had good cards and played ok. Made an early all in with 10's against A8 with a king on the borad when I felt that I had the best hand.
Lost to 9's with AKs but I was starting to get a bit short stacked. Kinda wished that I would have called and looked at the flop but that would commit 1/3 of my chips. Was hoping that I was against a low pair or AQ where it might have been laid down.
I enjoy playing the Mookie because there is a good level of poker there and it has helped my game. I will continue playing and hope to make it in the money. I suggest that anyone interested in improving ones game try this one.

Does it take a major suck out (or more) to win a tourney
OK Now that Mookie found (and linked) my attempt to startup a blog, I guess I need to start really blogging in earnest.
My question of the day. Can you win a tournament without one or more suckouts. I was watching the red rock tourament where Phil G. caught a 9 for a set to win the hand and then ultimately the whole thing. Albeit it was not a major suckout as he did have a flush draw but still he needed it to continue.
Last night I went deep, but did not win, when my J's tripped up on the river to beat Q's. I subsequently at the final was crippled when my AK was beaten by an A9 when a 9 hit.
So have any of you won a tournament solely on having superior cards or through superior play without having to rely on a suckout.
