Dime

Quick status update, and a few notes:

• The Dime tourneys at PokerStars are like crack.
• In one of said Dime/Crack tourneys:
  • Holding pocket 10s, stack size at roughly 4000, blinds at 50/100, in early position, I open betting with 400.
  • Folds around to a late position caller with something like 2200 in chips, who calls.
  • blinds fold.
  • Flop is QQ2 rainbow.
  • I go all in.
  • Insta-call -- Mut has just bet into trip Queens, Ace kicker!
  • ...which evolves into Queens full of Aces!
    
    I still don't know whether my play was awesome but unlucky or simply stupid. (Numbers may be wildly innacurate, but ratios are correct.)
    
    
• After that, my tourney life was exciting and brief.
• $.01/.02 cash tables are tight.
• $.01/.02 cash players are either weak fish, or absolute sharks.
• If it isn't clear by now, I prefer the $.05/.10 tables.
• It's good to take a bad beat from a fish sitting directly to your right. Call his crap with good cards, and benefit from the entire table trying to cash in.
• Quads still stalk me; Les Deux Orangs dropped quads on my boat last night, and another player hit them in a hand I got away from on the turn.
• Oh, and I had a hand in an early PSD session where my 7c 9c turned into a straight flush on the flop, and I earned bubkus. Played it as slow as I could, and the designated donator still folded on the river -- only won about 4000 with it.
