February 13, 2008, 11AM: Played 3 hours, Lost $50.00 at Greektown Casino
$50 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (9th out of 54 Players)

$50 + $15 11:00 AM Daily No Limit Hold'em Tournament - 3,000 starting chips
 
Decided to go down and try a daily tournament to see what they were all about.  There is a 60 person (6 table) max on the tournaments so I am sure they fill up considering the weather and it was still almost full. 
 
There was only 1 guy at the 1st table that was aggressive and he bet/bluffed his way off the table 1st.  Most pots were called with everyone limping at 1st, but by the 3rd round people opened up.  Most of the guys played liked donkeys and were throwing their chips around like nothing, with weak hands. 
 
My 1st winner was K/Q, limped in middle with limpers ahead, and caught a K on the flop.  I was 2nd of 5 to act so I checked hoping for someone to take a stab at it but it was checked around.  Next card came the Q and I bet $200 and got one caller.  Bet $400 on the river and he called again.  The very next hand I was dealt A/A amd raised from 50 to 150 and everyone folded. 
 
After that I had long runs w/o cards but was able to stick around.  Eventually we got down to the last 20 and I was still in it with about $4k. The action picked up some as most people either raised or got out.  With a little over $3k left I got all in with A/Qs against K/Q and J/J.  Ended up getting a low straight to take it all down. 
 
At the final table the play was really tight.  One guy dropped out and the BB was at 1,800 with a $200 ante.  I was in the button and looked down to A/Ks and raised it up to $4,200.  The BB pushed and made it about $7,500 total, I called and his K/K held up.
 
I went out as BB, had about $2,200 left and I held 5/2 when the SB called.  Flop came 244, I pushed and SB showed 4 to take it.
 
Payouts were:
 
1st - $1,350
2nd - $675
3rd - $270
4th - $216
5th - $189
