Vegas - Caesars $70 9am tournie

I played this turbo with Shazbo this morning after playing on the table games since 2am when we woke up. I kicked off by jamming a straight flush in texas holdem bonus for a $1k pick up, but then lost $300 trying to learn craps which I still don't understand.

I spent the first level of the tournament being rivered, and was down to 1.5k stack from 3k after playing a bunch of pots. There was an absolute madman on the table who would play anything irrespective of preflop action. He had already cracked AA with 82off to bust someone and was spraying chips left and right when this happened.

I check my option in the BB with 33 in multiway pot and flop arrives:

2, 3, J

I check, madman fires in and I flat call.

Turn is a 3 which seems a reasonable card and I check again.

Madman bets again and I call.

River is a blank and I check ready to shove over madman's river bet.

Somehow, after spewing chips for the last 30 mins madman finds a check with 22, for 2s full of 3s. I don't understand poker :(

My tournament ends when I shove 2k at 200-400 with 33 UTG and madman snap calls UTG+1 (!) with 5h6h and nails his 5 in the door.

Observed while I waited for Shazbo to bubble:

Manager shouts to punter waiting for a game "Excuse me sir, are you Steve?"

"Yes, yes I am indeed"

Pause.

"Hold on. No I'm not. I'm Seth".
