Second Tournament for the Vancouver Poker Tour
Hello everybody, I am back to tell you about the second tournament of the Vancouver Poker Tour. I was a little late getting there from work but it worked out fine. First hand I sat down I was delt blinds are 25/50 and make it 250 to go with 1 caller, the flop comes I lead out by testing the waters with a bet of 200 my opponent calls. The turn is a I bet out 400 he calls, without question with no reraise I am not that scared of the ace you would think if he had AQ or so he would of re raised me here. River is a I bet out 700 he thinks about it and calls I show my jacks and they are good he tells me, "I thought I had a 10 but I really had nothing" lol for you to avoid this to happen to you, just look again or know nicknames for hands so you don't have to look again.
This is the hand I ended up getting knocked out in. I am in the big blind the blinds are 50/100 everyone folds to the small blind which was Alvin he just calls. I am holding I raise 300 more Alvin calls. Flop is he checks to me I bet out 400 he raises to 800 I sit back and think and decide that my ace is good enough in this situation to showdown. So I went all in he looks at me and says, "did you say all in?" This means two things either fold right away or he will call right away he ended up calling and showed and didn't catch up on the turn and river.
Overall great tournament very much looking forward to how the season will turn out.
