Anouther tournament win
Yesterday I entered into a tournament at the local casino. Not a big one, only 13 people showed up. I was able to make some good reads and I thought I played pretty good. I never got myself into any tight spots and after 4 hours of play, I won. I Did not make a whole lot but made 500% on my buyin.
