Just finished my tournament. Eliminated in approximately 53rd place out of 147. I was card dead for awhile. I guess I also played a little tighter than I usually do. It must be some rust. I know I played one hand wrong. I was accumulating chips pretty easy when I was dealt jj. I made my standard open of 2.5 bb with a healthy chip stack. Blinds were 200 400 with a 25 ante. So I raise to 1000. 3 callers. Everyone checks to me on a flop of 9 5 3 rainbow. I cbet 2500 and get called by the button. Turn brings an ace. I check and the villain fires 6000. My read on the villain, is that he is the typical tight old man who only bets cinches. I ignored my read and called. I figured that he was floating me and trying to buy the pot. River was a 7. I checked he checked and showed ace 9 for two pair. I should have followed my read but I didn't. In all, it was fun to get back out there and play. I probably won't play a tournament again until February but I will definitely remember this lesson. Good luck again and see you on the felt.
