...which is probably why I suck so badly at tournaments recently, because so damn much of every tournament goes on with just those stack sizes. Anyway, here's a hand that I think I played well...if the stacks were much bigger. Maybe I still played it well, but people I've talked to tend to disagree. And for differing reasons. At the time I thought I played this well, but I'm really unsure about it now. Anyone like a flop raise? Turn bet? River fold/raise? Meh?
(Note: I realize I may get some "fold pfs" here, but those blinds aren't going to steal themselves, and my image at this table is tight, especially to this guy, who's been at the table a dozen hands and has only seen me raise once. Of course, that means I don't have much of a read on him, but he seemed typical/tight).
