When I got home I fired up UB and saw a $5 turbo tournament starting at 5:00, so using my Ultimate Points, I joined for free. In the 2nd or 3rd level I get cowboys with an early position raiser, so I bump it up to 400 and only the raiser calls. The flop comes Q high and he checks, so I bet the pot. He goes all in and it’s an easy call for me. He has Mrs. Slick and of course the ace comes on the turn giving him two pair. I’m down to 135 chips. Two hands later I get KJo and with one early limper I push all-in. Only the limper calls and he has J7 of diamonds. The flop brings a 7 and I’m out. I guess this is turbo! I played for a grand total of 15 minutes losing to a 5 outter and a 3 outter. I got my chips in when I was the favorite and that’s all you can do.
I’m now playing in a $10 limit tournament which I also used Ultimate Points to enter for free. We’ll see how this goes. On a side note, I’m already up over 15 BB playing one table of $2/4 6-max.
