(sigh!!) Will I ever learn? Was in a $26 token tournament at Full Tilt. Two from the tokens. I've got 3K left, but there are 10 folks worse off and we're playing hand-for-hand.
Table members are colluding, talking folding to the blinds and "everyone here makes it." I hate collusion; it's cheating. It puts me on tilt, because it's wrong.
My Big Blind ($1K/500, ante 125). Pocket cowboys! The button who has about $5K calls the BB. And I push. And he calls. And he turns over big slick. And an ace flops. And I'm out without a token.
Moral of the story? Would I have played it different in a regular tournament? A league game? A freeroll? The WSOP? I'll have to think on that. It's what I did this time, and it did not turn out well. That's poker. I have to remember to give more study to the bottom lines...

Help the Computer Challenged
Yeah, I'm still here. Survived the March floods and sick friends/family and the ups and downs of poker (happily the month was mostly ups!; more on that at another time).
It's now April (didn't even get to play any April Fool's jokes, except not posting), and month two of the Battle of the Bloggers III Tournaments. Congrats to those who've won seats in the big Tournament of Champions at the end, and to the march monthly champion. We'll get names and numbers at another time. Still many WSOP seats to be won!
This is on the fly, so it's brief. Just wanted to remind folks of the events at Full Tilt, and post another of AlCantHang's banners (smaller than the last). Get over to the events, they're fun and challenging. The shamalamadingdongdorkdonk's plan is still the same: pick and choose my games, win one, then roar at the TOC.
And if anyone can teach the old old old shamster how to post links and banners on the sides of this boring blog, I will be eternally greatful (maybe even scrape up some thank-you bucks)!!! A week of playing and experimenting with it have gotten me nowhere. I miss the old copy- and type-setting paginators!
