Reading a player correctly and not knowing that you read him correctly is another bummer - well not in this case.

My first live Casino tourney was about 5 weeks ago in AC Borgatta. About 125 entrants. During one hand I had pocket QQ. I did raise 3xbb but still had 2 callers. The flop had A x x. One guy moved all-in and the second guy folds.

This was my first critical moment in a live tournament because someone was challenging me big time and I could look across the table and stare him down. I stared at him and saw him change all kinds of colors, then pale. I knew then he had an Ace in the hole. My first real read. I was right.
I said to him, I know you have an ace but a Q is coming. I called. He had an ace. Q came on the turn and I knocked him out of the tourney.

That was sick.
