$330 Buy-In Commerce Casino

So the LA Poker Classic just got under way today with a $330 buy-in, $300 ($30 registration fee). They continue on until mid February when they have the $10k buy-in. So here is my hand by hand play.....

Hand 1: Middle position, 7 2 offsuit. FOLD!
Hand 2: Middle position, Q 6 offauit. FOLD!
Hand 3: Third to act, Kh Kd. Small blind in for 25, Big Blind in for 25. UTG folds, next guy limps in 25. Pot = 75. I raise to 150. Next guy calls. Folds around to my right, he calls. Pot = 500. Flop 5d 9h 8d. Check to me, I bet 300, my left calls, my right moves ALL-IN! Pot = 2450. I know neither one has aces, just because I would have been re-raised. My left I suspect had queens, jacks maybe 10s or AQ or AJ. My right I'm guessing had two diamonds, one being the ace or he's making a huge move at a huge pot early in the tournament (remember this is hand #3). I call. My left folds. Pot = 3500. My right turns over pocket 8s. I become a rail bird.

The End
