April 10, 2008, 8PM: Played 50 minutes, Lost $2.25 at Full Tilt
$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (87th out of 203 Players)

I am MP with 1400 at 30-60 blinds.  UTG+2 raises to 180.  I reraise to 490 with AK.  Guy on my immed. left shoves for 1780.  Guy immed on his left calls lol!.  Initial raiser folds and now I am facing a call of my 910 chips into a 4320 pot.  As you guys have said lately on some of my posts (and jaspinal and I talked about today)...these players kinda suck and I give them too much credit a lot of times....so in a spot where I have to call regardless I called here not even as worried as I normally would have been and sure enough they have 77 and 88...wow what a good spot! bricked out though.
