    Default A normal tourney

    Ok - I'm gonna post what I consider to be a pretty normal tourney.

    All I am posting are the hands I actually played (excluding preflop raises that I just took down) - which aren't many.

    Hand 1 - late in the rebuy - I had gotten a nice stack and was given a chance for an even nicer one. It didn't pan out by I still was fine after the rebuy hour.

    Hand 6 - made my first actual move in the whole tourney. Didnt think my opp had the K and thought he would fold the weak turn raise. Call sucked but thought I lucked out on river. Instead I was just lucky my opp stupidly just called the river with the buts.
