Today we played the third ever Little @Mikey tournament with ten players showing up to battle. Not only are there daily prizes (5 SCR), there is a weekly bonus of 25 SCR that everyone is trying to claim. I'm publishing this short update today to include the results from Wednesday's tournament along with the current standings for the week. Before that, I'd like to share a short poker tip with you.

Beware the Trap

One of my favorite moves in all of poker is a check on the river when you've been betting into an opponent and it becomes clear that your opponent has been hiding what they are holding. When they repeatedly call on the flop and turn and then check on the river (when in early position), depending on your hand, you may want to check instead of betting once again -- you may just be able to avoid falling into a trap that costs you a large percentage of your chips.

Today's Results

With a dwindling chip stack, I went all-in with a weak hand and was beaten by @nikoskol, who won today's tournament.

#4. @itharaigian (1)

#3. @lama10 (4)

#2. @mikey (6)

#1. @nikoskol (10)

It was @nikoskol's first time finishing in the top-4, but with a win he jumps up the leaderboard close to the top for the weekly prize of 25 SCR.

Don't forget that the Little @Mikey Poker Series will run for the next 10 weeks, and each week the best player will receive a bonus of 25 SCR.
