*** FLOP *** [4s Qs 5d]
rizsweep bets 40
crazdgamer calls 40 (even though I missed, a min-bet into this pot is not going to chase me out. I was a little concerned about the queen. AQ, AA, KK were possibilities, but this bet doesn't fit that.)
*** TURN *** [4s Qs 5d] [4h]
rizsweep checks
crazdgamer checks (is he scared of the pair of 4's or that I called on the flop? I check again.)
*** RIVER *** [4s Qs 5d 4h] [Js]
rizsweep checks
crazdgamer bets 300 (the board is sufficiently scary. If he has a pocket pair, he can't like his hand right now. Paired board and possible flush. My check on the turn sells me drawing, so I take a stab.)
rizsweep folds
Uncalled bet of 300 returned to crazdgamer
crazdgamer mucks
crazdgamer wins the pot (380) (w00t! [as they say])

I don't see myself playing this any other way. I go broke on this hand even if I push after the chip leader's reraise.

With a re-loaded account, I can start donking out of tourneys again. Yay?
