I got very lucky on a couple of hands during the final table, and also picked up quite a few good starters (that managed to hold up) during the initial "minefield" period.
Thanks Dave for setting up these tourneys and for somehow persuading Paradise to add a bunch of extra loot to the Team Canuck events.

catch the next one.

Just so no-one thinks I went pure runner-runner, here's the hand.

I guess hitting the backdoor draw rather than the "natural" 6-outer was a little bit of lemon juice in the wound.
I don't really see how I could have gotten away from the hand. The flop bet was basically automatic for me, sort of like an inverted stop-and-go based on me having the right of first bluff.
If I had checked, I'd be getting almost 3 to 1 on my money--- an easy call, since I figure to be (typically) 3 to 1 against to win if you've flopped something, or I'm the 3 to 1 favorite if we've both missed the flop. Betting myself even has some additional fold equity in an apparent pot-committed situation, since you might consider letting go of the hand (if you've made a complete whiff) based on the presence of mustang4 who has just now put himself on life support leaving himself with only 4,000 chips pre-flop.
Incidentally, check and fold would have been EV-incorrect (but close), getting around 2.7 to 1 on on my money for a 2.3 to 1 call.
A very interesting pre-flop pass from the micro-stack. He turned down 5 to 1 on his money for the shot at moving up a spot, and was probably just as lucky that I made my hand as I was.

I was working Saturday night, and then my "band" played a "gig". Well, more specifically, a group of guys I jam with played at a Hallowe'en party. But 'band' and 'gig' sound more impressive.Â
Anyways, I figured I'd give you a shot at winning, by passing on this TCP tournament. Glad to see you took advantage of the situation!
