how people make the calls they do in tourneys. We are just inside the money in the nightly 100K and I just bluffed off a lot of chips, so I'm in shoving mode and this guy tanks and then calls. sigh....

I had a good day today though. We'll it would have been a great day, but the deck hit me awesome mode early and I was up over 5K in the morning, but then gave it all back, took a break came back then was up 3.5K, went to dinner with the wife, came back and made another 800 or so. Overall a nice day though. Wishin everyone a safe and happy new years. Not sure what I have in store for resolutions. Quit smoking, get in shape, the normal ones, etc... Win seats to big events and actually cash in them... that would be nice...

Hopefully the housing market turns around in '09, but I doubt it will. We are actually thinking about buying another house while it's dirt cheap, but it's super high risk. We'll see what the future brings. Until then, good luck at the tables and in life. Good bye 2008!

How do you even make that call there? I made a marginal position call PF because I knew I could outplay him if he whiffed after watching a few of his hands, and my read was dead on. But how does he call that shove? Even AK might make the shove I made on a semi-bluff. Maybe even AQs. So gross.
