Carbon Poker $1K NLHE 6-Max (T3,000)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hadn’t played on Carbon for a while since it wasn’t particularly easy to get money on there any more, but they sent me a $5.50 tournament coupon to entice me back in at the beginning of their latest tournament series. Since I wasn’t out at Wildhorse for the Poker Round-Up this weekend (and because I was supposed to be finishing up a project tonight instead of out playing poker), I gave it a whirl. It didn’t go so well.<\/p>\n

Hand 1<\/strong> 4<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> A<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> UTG1 20\/40 T3,000
\nI’d come in during the previous hand, when the player now UTG made two two with A<\/span>x<\/span><\/span> K<\/span>x<\/span><\/span><\/span> against K<\/span>x<\/span><\/span> K<\/span>x<\/span><\/span><\/span> and lost most of his stack. He shoved 360 in the pot and I folded; his T<\/span>x<\/span><\/span> 9<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> was beat by K<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> J<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span><\/span> making top pair, and he was out. No ace.<\/p>\n
