Finally have time to play a tournament and
I join a limit tournament by accident. ARGH
Very first hand I limp in and hit a set and its my turn to bet and I'm wondering where the damn slider is. DUH
So most of these players are horrible calling stations and I never got over 2500 chips.
About 180 joined and top 18 get paid. $16 tourney on Bodog.
I keep getting nailed on the river by people who call or raise with nothing.
Final 3 hands - about 30 players left, 18 make money:
I raise with A8 in MP3 and chip leader calls on button. Flop JT4. I bet he calls. Turn is Q. We both check. River is a 9. I check, he bets, I call..he has K5. WTF
I raise UTG+1 with KQ. chip leader calls again and so does the BB. Flop 553. SB checks, I bet, they both call. Turn Ace, SB checks, I bet again, leader folds, SB calls. River is another 3. We both check. SB shows K2 and we split the pot???? WTF again
Final hand I raise UTG with ATs, leader calls again, BB calls. Flop T82. BB bets, I raise (and I'm all in), leader calls, BB reraises, leader calls...yada yada yada, river 6 and chip leader shows 97 for the straight and I'm done in 30th...sigh
I also played a 4 player stud tournament with some chiptalkers. Finished 3rd there ...paid $11 to get in and got $8 back so no biggie there.
Hopefully I'll get to play again before Thursday. Guess we'll see!

I've done the very same thing, entered a tournament and thought it was NL but ended up being limit. I also entered a tourney once that I thought was Holdem and it ended up being Omaha - go figure. Pays to read everything before registering. Happens to us too!
