$50+10 Wednesday Tourney

Fresh off the 2nd place win on Monday, I venture back to the club for the small stakes Wednesday tourn. About 70 people, bring my friend C, I think this is her first multi-table tournament. About 7 tables. Here is the big difference with this one, while the monday has a starting stack of 6,000 and 25-50 blinds, this is starting with 500 and 5-10 blinds. So the stack to blind ratio is much lower. Each chip is worth more and you have less to play with. @ a $60 buy-in, with no rebuys, I think I need to get looser with this one. I waited, was down to about 400 and UTG puts out 60, I call with A-Qoff and the BB raises all-in for about 300. UTG calls. I wait and muck. A-Q has gotten me in trouble so many times and I have to put them on hands. BB turns over Jacks, UTG turns Kings. Next five cards come 7-A-10-8-4 rainbow. I would have taken it with the Ace. Normally, I would not care, but as I as thinking about it, for a tournament with so few chips and such a low buy-in, I feel maybe I should have gambled more. If I hit, I suddenly have a stack I can work with, if not, no big deal. Just something to think about for the next one. I went about about 15 minutes laters with pocket 6s vs pocket As, we both hit a set on the flop for extra pain.

In better news, C made the final table and while she went out 10th, she still doubled her money and got great experience. Way to go C!
