It was a good, relaxing session. The buffet is pretty good compared to the other riverboats in the region, but it's not hard to find better food elsewhere. The tournament starts with 2 full tables. I win the blinds on the first hand, but then I pretty much bleed after that. I'm able to take some small pots, but I'm not getting any cards.
Some people bust out and rebuy.
What this does is give people nice, big stacks, and the bustouts buy in again and they get another T1000, giving them a bigger stack than mine. Having logged many hours of no limit play on the internet, I know it's just a matter of time before I get some cards. And they come. I'm the BB and look down to see pocket Jacks. The flop gives me another Jack, but the re-raiser show QTs and rivers a straight.
