    The end of the season Tournament

    Here we are after over a month of no games we decided to play the freeroll. With only 5 tournaments worth in the pot. I was chip leader but by only a small margin with the blinds starting at 1/2 and doubling every half hour I had sometime to make my moves.

    Hot Start

    The very first hand that was delt I get I made it 12 to go and got 2 callers after looking at a non threatning board I bet out and Chris called. The turn brought a I bet out 20 and he folded and won a decent pot. The next hand I pick up raised about the same missed flop and took it down with a continuation bet.

    Ace Eight

    A bit later on I pick up I was on the button, I haven't played a hand in awhile so, I raised to 15 with the blinds at 2/4 Chris re raises for less then 45 with me being chip leader. I decided to call he had and I got lucky and flopped an 8 knocking him out It looked like a bad call but It wasn't much more for me to call so that justifies it.

    3 Handed

    I started to play timid and didn't pick up enough pots and everytime I raised I either completely missed the flop or was re raised pre flop. Later in 3 handed I pick up when the blinds were 8/16 I make it 40 to go and Addision raised it to 80 I went all in and he had he flopped a set and I turned my top pair finishing in 3rd place. I thought I played bad in this tournament I was not happy about my result I wasn't aggressive enough and I deserved what I got. With the last tournament of the VPT now we will have nice cash games where I have been doing farely well and looking forward of things to come and put this behind me. Play well and may all your pots be monster.
