Well, it’s a holiday weekend and a holiday is what I should be having from playing poker!I got onto Full Tilt and signed up for a 90 player SnG for Play Chips and after getting down to 24 players, I caught a pair of cowboys.

Hey Maxie, sure you know this, but with only 800 chips + 200 blinds, your cowboys were WAY above average for pushing in that situation. It’s possible (but probably not likely if your opponents had deep stacks at that point) that you will get the marginal hands that will catch that flush to fold. The problem with the playchip tourneys, is… well, they’re playchips. You get called down with just about anything. In a real $ game – your push will probably mean a lot more. But with the amount of chips you had left, as Harrington says – you were a fly to be swatted. You need to make your big moves before you get down to an M of 2.5, or else there is no one you can hurt.
The AQ vs AQ sucks… I hate when that happens.
BTW, did you try the donkey test that was posted in the forums? Definitely worth a few minutes look.
OK, Jeff. I took the donkey test and will blog about it!
