Hey guys,

Here's my dilema, I prepaid for a tournament Wednesday night, and now due to work issues, I wont be able to make it. Here's where you can help.Â* Go in my place.Â*

Here's the details as far as I know.

It's a bar in brampton
$25 buy-in (paid) with 1 re-buy
they usual get about 30 players
I think it starts at 7pm

All I ask of whom ever takes my seat is to have at it, and do your best, if you get into the money, $25 back would be nice.Â* If you don't...Â* well... as long as you tried your best.

I'll try to get clear details tonight, for anyone's who interested.
It's only 25 bucks, so if I have to kiss it goodbye, so be it, but if one of you can save it for me, I got nothing more to lose.

Cold Cards all night. Nothing more than J9o at anytime. Only got lucky enough to only rebuy once, when my trip 9's got hammered by a straight on the river (AGAIN ). After the rebuy period, I managed to double up a couple of times, then got moved to another table where I was WAY behind in chips. Blinds were 100/200, going up to 200/400 any second, and I only had about 4xBB at that point. Again get JQo, flop comes up 99J. Pushed all in, get called by someone holding a 9 garbage.

Tough night. Wasn't getting any cards, and the first table I was at, there was this big Russian guy who went all in every hand, until he finally went bust on his bluff.

Oh well, I was holding back all day, waiting to look at this post, wishing, hoping, for some good news.Â* Well, you tried your best, and you had fun, right?

My buddy who was there busted out 1hr 40min into it.

Look at it as practice.Â* You get to mix it up with different players.

On a side note; did you feel any less pressure or more pressure, knowing it was sort of a freeroll?Â* I've played before when I've been bought in by a buddy, and I find it slightly less stressful. (Bad beats / suckouts always feel the same though)

Actually, I really wanted to do well BECAUSE it was YOUR investment initially. I did do a rebuy though (just one), but I wanted to be able to tell you I made the money rounds, here's your buyin back. Don't think it added stress to my game, but it was a thought banging around in my head all the same.

I would have pushed preflop. Not saying the results would have been different but with only 4xBB that is my only move.
