Soft Game

Either I am a much better player than I think I am or I have found one of the softest games in the world. A friend of mine invited me to play poker at the house of a guy he knows. They usually play a couple of tournaments and low cheap buy-ins but a good number of players to make it worth while. They're a good bunch of guys, so it was an enjoyable evening. Let's just say that I'm not playing any better than I have been over the last few weeks, but I managed to go deep in these tourneys with little trouble. The guys I usually play with would rob these guys blind. I finished second in the first tourney (with literally no chips going into the final table), 4th in the second tourney and 4th in the 3rd tourney. The third tourney is where I lost money because we weren't paying 4th place at that point - had a bad beat to lose literally all my chips.
