"Dude. You can't call.

Trying out these "Double Up" tourneys - 10 players, top 5 get double their buy-in. Strategy is to play uber-tight early, and then there's a bubble with 6 left. My push-fold-fu is weak right now, but this was an easy one.

Game #34839524-67: $3 NL Holdem Double Up - 10 Handed - 200.00/400.00

Seat #8: taglius (BB), $2248.00
Seat #9: CaseyBRaisen, $3497.00

One player left until we're in the money, and he's got less than 2 big blinds left.

The button has been stealing the past 2 orbits or so, but there's no way he can call here without a major premium hand. Jack-six takes the money. The shorty busts out one hand later.

I've played 4 of these so far, winning 2 and losing 2, so I'm not beating the rake yet. They're pretty boring, but I suppose I could go on auto-pilot and play like 8 of them at once.
