My trip to Philly proved to anger me sleightly about getting screwed with cash prizes. We played three total games... All $20 buy in's.
The first game had 10 people, and the host decided that first prize was $160, second was $40 and there would be no third prize... ok. I placed second... Doubled my entry fee for placing second among 10 people... Hmm, I think that was a little low, but at least I made money.
Second game, we had 13 people, prize breakdown was first place $200, second place $40, third place $20. (I didnt hear what the payouts would be till after I hit the final table, so I couldnt complain) We had two tables, I ended up being the second highest stack at our table when we merged. Folded two crappy hole hands. On the third hand, matched the blind with a decent hole (Ace, Jack offsuit), everyone left it as that and we saw the flop... I didnt get a piece of it at all, but apparently everyone else did. We got 3 all in's, and the chipleader called. Chipleader ended up making a flush on the river (after he really shouldnt have stayed in even for the flop.. he had suited 4,7 in his hole), knocking out 3 guys in one blow... all the sudden the table was down to 3, myself with a terribly short stack comparably. Bluffed my way to work it up a bit, then finally went all in on another decent pocket (pair of 10s), got called, got knocked out by a set of 7s. Finished 3rd... and only got my entry back.
Third game, I just got screwed on some bad beats, and went out early. So overall, I ended dead even.
The only thing that came out of it that was good, was that I had a real philly cheese steak for the first time. yummers! (see other thread)
