May 25th, 7:45pm, OUT

Unfortunately nothing good to report.  When I moved to my new table it all went downhill.
Except for one river call I possibly could have folded everything went pretty ugly.  Every big
hand I got (AK three times) I had to fold it... there was a player that came to the table that
had no clue what he was doing - he would call raises with 10 big blinds and then fold.  When
he got down to 6bb he went all in from under the gun and I correctly moved all in with AQs.
He happened to have AK and I lost.   Later, with 14bb I folded 44 from early position, and on
the very next hand I moved all in with 88.  The same guy went all in from the button with JJ!
HAHA!  He got most of my chips there and I went out a couple hands later.  He's still alive
and I'm typing!!  You have to enjoy the humor in tournament poker or you just can't do this.

The good news is I went out one hand before the dinner break, so I don't have to come back
in an hour with no chips.  No more poker tonight.  Going to find some good food, relax and
get ready for tomorrow.  Had a couple really interesting hands that I'll type about later.  Derrick
busted out from the tournament in the 4th level.  He played well but had one hand he would
probably play differently.  The good news is we are both getting some great experience in these
smaller buy in tournaments that will help us get ready for the upcoming events.  My patience
was very good today but I probably could have been a little more active when I had more chips.
Going to give myself a B grade today. 

Dinner time - hope Little Budda has an open table!!
