Home game tournament
Saturday night I hosted a $15 tournament that we had 8 people for. It's hard to get all my friends together so we hold one about every 4-5 months it seems. This was our 7th tournament in a little over 2 years.
We start with 300 in chips and 1/2 blinds.
I accumulated some chips early and got up to 360 or so off the bat but then nothing was working after that. I just kept running into bigger hands. I finally had to push with TT and my friend Mike woke up with QQ and got quad Queens to knock me out.
What a crazy game this ended up being. Mike wasn't done there, he then flopped quad Kings on a KK2 flop and a few hands later had Ax on an AAA flop. He had a couple of full houses and another set too. NUTS.
Then there is the flip side. Almost every all in we had, the underdog won.
AJ lost to A7
A6 lost to KQ
Ax lost to K9
another Ax vs Ax where the lower x hit runner runner flush
sorry I don't remember them all but the list goes on...
When it got down to 3, Mike took a nice chip lead when Mark pushed AK and Mike woke up with Aces to knock out Mark in 3rd and get to heads up. Mike couldn't hold on unfortunately and let Keith sneak in for the win after getting lucky a couple of times in the long heads up battle. Mike went all in with the best hand as the short stack and Keith caught a pair to win the tourney.

Thanks for hosting, Sir! It was a fun night. The NUTS guard was clearly the key. Still pissed that I didn't bring it home w/all those huge hands. I will return!
