  hews wanted a poker recap, so here's some recent happenings. i decided to play some no-limit tournaments to get some no-limit experience. i'm definitely not as good at it as limit (in which i'm no expert either), but it's a lot of fun.
you get a real surge going all in, which you certainly don't get when you call the big blind in a .5/1.00 hand. format of the tournament is such: 1) buy-in for $10 + $1 entry fee. b) every one gets 800 chips iii) 1st - $50, 2nd - $30, 3rd - $20 as can be seen, 4th is just as good as 10th, which is just as good as a girl in a bug touching contest. i think i entered about 5 tournaments before finally cashing in the 6th. i felt like i was improving though, since i gradually moved up from 6th place finishes to 4th.
considering this is my first no-limit experience, i'll take it. all these tournamenting though has put me down a bit, so now i'm hovering around $95 in my account. i'm just waiting for hews to sign up for party poker and give me 50 extra bones. that's tournament money right there. so with one 3rd place in the bank now, i'm going bak. all in
