Dear Photograph17,

You finished the tournament in 377th place. A $5.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account. Congratulations! Thank you for participating.

Well, for a tournament that cost me nothing to enter, winning $5.00 isn't bad. So I took that $5.00 and entered a $4.00 + $0.40 180 person tournament to see how far it could take me. Well, a dry run of cards towards the end didn't help and I was severely short-stacked. With the blinds $75/$150 and holding $1005 chips, I pushed all-in with big slick, Ace-King. There were two others in the pot. The flop came 5-6-Ace. Nice! The betting between the other two continued. The next card was a Queen, which I didn't like. The other hole cards were turned over and to my horror, one of the other players was holding pocket Queens and made a set. A King on the river didn't help me beat it and I was gone. Finished 67/180. Oh well....thaaaaaat's poker!
