February 6, 2008, 1PM: Played 2 hours, 15 minutes, Made $78.00 at Ringo's
$32 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 23 Players)

After five rounds (1 hour 15 minutes), I had played just two hands, pocket aces and pocket kings, doubling up both times.
  Key hand of the tournament: Four handed, I'm under the gun with 15,000 in chips, blinds at 2K/4K, the second card dealt to me is an exposed 4 of hearts.  The dealer laughes and says I didn't want it anyways.  He deals me another card and I look down at pocket fours.  If I'm nervous about playing fours without knowing one is already gone, I really don't like them now.  So I ask the dealer to look at my hand as I muck, he does and smiles.  The next two players go all-in with mediocore hands.  Before the flop is brought, the dealer shows the table my wired fours and laughes again.  Sure as shit the case four comes on the flop and the other two players don't even pair up after five cards.  I'm left shaking my head at what would have been, knowing I push if I hadn't seen that exposed four.
  I'm not sure if I made the right play here, am I still correct to push all-in here, expecting a call? Anyways, still had some fun, felt good to finish in the money.
