I didn't win this tourney after making one stupid mistake as chip leader at the final table, but for a very cheap tourney, it was not nearly as fishy as many an on-line game you'll find. It's worth looking at a few hands.

Hand 24, I've spared showing you 7 hands in between where nobody bets wildly pre or post flop, and many hands don't see the river. Look at the hand below, and is it possible that nobody at this table limps Ax os?

Hand 81 - I buy yet another pot for 3BB
Hand 88 - I get cocky and try to buy yet another pot. The disparity in our stack sizes is such that I have boxed myself into the call on the river regardless of what he has. This is why I gave a free card on the turn.

Hand 92 - I'm back to buying pots for 3BB
Hand 99 - This is where I squander everything against a player who I hadn't been exposed too. I totally misinterpreted the betting pattern, as annotated below. Note that this is the final table of 9 of 45 starting players, and I'm one of two chip leaders until the conclusion of this hand.

FNJ - Note that this player calls, rather than coming over the top, giving me the red carpet to see the flop for just a few more chips. I hadn't been at the table with this player, but I should already have been suspicious. To do this, you've either got to be a fool, or have a powerhouse of a hand. It was the 99th hand, so most of the fools had been eliminated.

FNJ - Again, I misinterpreted the check as weakness. Maybe a lower pocket pair, I was thinking?

FNJ - I took about 20 seconds to make this decision, but still went the wrong way. This should have been an easy laydown on my part, but ....

Hand 110 - I hang on by my fingernails for 10 more hands to NOT be the bubble, but instead make a profit of one dollar. Whoo-hoo!
