Re: bad calls that win
I tell ya what, I haven't been called as many nasty names as I was on Hollywood last night. I did alright for myself in the tourny...was really on a roll....people were not happy campers. First hand out, I caught pocket 4s. I don't usually like pocket pairs, but what the heck. There was a good sized raise before the flop and I usually would have folded, but I really had some other things I needed to do instead of playing anyway....called and out flopped another 4 and a couple other low cards...a jack on the turn and a queen on the river...by this time some joker goes all in, but I was already too far gone to back out now...I more than doubled up on that hand. Basically had the same thing happen with pocket 5s on the next hand....after that I caught a straight, folded a couple hands and then caught a flush. It didn't keep up all evening though, just long enough to get me enough chips to get stupid with on a couple of bad calls, but I still wound up winning a whole $2.50...came in 21st out of 601.
