My first ever BBV post (that deals with BBV type stuff, anyway).

So I had about 7 bucks left in Party that I thought I would try to dick around with.

I knew I was going all in before the session was over, because I was down under $5.00, which is the lowest you can buy in for.

I am a NL novice and a poor to mediocre poker player (break-even at micro-limits including bonuses -- Like I said, I was down to my last 7 bucks of bonus-only money), but even I know that UTG should have been betting somewhere along the line. He did win manage to double up on MP2 though.
