| This was the biggest tournament I have played to
date. Marc qualified for this, a satellite to the Sun Poker Half Million, by
winning a Sit & Go. He couldn`t play in this game so handed it to me. I was
a tad nervous but I didn`t see anything that scared me early on. Only
problem was that in the hour that I managed to stay in the game I got a
pocket pair once, Q`s, and crap the whole way. As a result I was playing
catch up all the way. I managed to double up with the Q`s to restore my
position to some sort of respectability, but with the blinds going up and a
short stack I had to make a move. I eventually went all in with A8 off suit
and was called with A7. The flop came with a 7 and I was out. This
tournament gave me exposure at this level and I feel that once I improve
somewhat on my board texture knowledge I will be quite competitive. |
