You should always see a flush coming. Many players will play almost any suited cards.

my mistake was not raising enough after the flop, after my 1st king came up with an 8 and a 3.

I'm playing in a tournament Thursday night (well, just about every thursday night, actually) I've finished in the top six every time I've played in this thing (20-35 people) but haven't ever won (second once, 3rd-6th five or six times). farging annoying.

for a multi-table tourney? if there are only 3 pay seats, then it's usually 10% of the pot. 25% for second, and 65% for 1st.

for your normal 8-10 person table, 3rd place is 2x the buy in, 2nd is 3x, and 1st is 5x

every place varies though.

MDS is just popping his collar because rjs isn't spending Thursday nights IM'ing him and instead, spending it with the boys.

So ever since I came on here and talked about how well I had been doing in the thursday night tourneys I haven't once made the final table. Serves me right I guess. Luckily every week I've been playing in the $1-3 No Limit cash game and winning my tourney buy-in back before I leave. So basically I was breaking even and having nights of free entertainment.

Well last night I busted out in 11th and sat down at the cash game with $200. Hoping to win back my buy-in of $30 plus maybe some extra money for the weekend, but not planning on staying all goddamned night. Well, after an hour I was up $100. After 2 hours I was up $400 and I walked out at midnight with a $611 profit. Word. Not bad for three and a half hours of work.

It'll all be gone by monday, of course.
