Trying a new table

We just played our first mini-tourney at the NBCSports.com "Heads-Up Poker" room. We had to download some software to our computer, and took a seat in a five-player tourney.

There was no limit in the tourney we played, and we started with $1,000. What a start-- as we won the first two pots! But then we lost a bundle in one hand, admittedly not realizing an opponent had raised substantially beyond the minimum.

We wound up second out of five -- but two of the players walked away from the table early, and were DQ'd for inactivity. As a result, the game was over in about 30 minutes. Once we get used to this look and format, we may well do better. But for now....

NBC SPORTS POINTS TOTAL: 7,125.

P.S. Who decided to make all the players in the room look like comedian Chris Elliott?
