[jgorham]

Throwin this up here, my first time playing a tourney with a buy in bigger than $100. Hopefully I don't intimidate myself... anyone else playin?

[mistaken]

Ya, I'm in...
This is my first multi over $150 so maybe we're in the same boat /images/graemlins/smile.gif... gl.

Good luck sir, I am back at table 56 - hgblob.

[mistaken]

I see you've been rewarded with the button /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[mistaken]

haha, alright!
Doubled up on the 3rd hand.

[jgorham]

Just took down K's with my A's to double up myself - i think they should all just give in to us now...

[jwvdcw]

I'm in...name is a605296a. GL to all 2+2ers, especially to those first timers.

[mistaken]

Thanks.
Hopefully you'll provide as much excitement as you did in the M$G /images/graemlins/smile.gif

AA and KK so far this tourney...
up to almost 3000 now /images/graemlins/smile.gif.
How's it goin with y'all?

[Rakkad]

1315, first break.

[jgorham]

Well I doubled up right away but have since dropped to aroun 500 chips. The biggest loss was when I had K 10 on the big blind, and the flop was K J 10 rainbow - doubled up a guy with K J. Since then it has been a matter of me always hitting something marginal and getting raised a lot - hopefully next hour is better!

[davidross]

Pretty good first hour. KK won a few chips, lost them back when a JT raise from the cutoff went nowhere. THen flopped a set of 5's and got paid.

SInce then I've picked up a few small pots uncontested.

[Ian J]

Some guy who I had notes on as a major fish busted me early when my QQ ran into his AA /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[jwvdcw]

1485 at first break.

[mistaken]

Haha... You can keep that note. I think the guy you're talking about is a major patzer! I've won more than I can tell off of him /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Been having some luck this one... up to 3650 shortly after the first break.

Mistaken

[jgorham]

How are y'all doin so far?

[davidross]

nothing happening this hour. TIme to get lucky.

I'm almost in the money of the $100 NL though. GOt a nice stack there, won every big showdown. ALso playing the Foxwoods qualifier at PAradise, was running well until my KK lost to AT in a huge pot. Pretty shortstacked now.

[mistaken]

2595 at the 2nd break

[Philuva]

doubled up with JJ twice.

[davidross]

First hand after teh break I get KK, raise to 800, button calls. Flop QT8 I push, he calls with QJ. Turn A river Q...Doh...

[mistaken]

Soon after the break I get 88 in middleposition, and I make it 3X the BB... the bigstack in the BB decides to call. Flop comes 676 rainbow, and I push for pot. He quickly calls and turns over 99, the devil's hand. I have literally gotten knocked out of about 6 tournaments in a row either with 99 or against it. Incredible.

Good luck to Philuva and Gank1

Hey Philuva,

Were you stealing there when you pushed for 3800 on the button after 2 limpers?

[Philuva]

No, I had AK. Any raise at that point pot comitted me, so I went all-in instead.

[Philuva]

Got 4k in my stack with AKs against 99. I flopped a K, but he flopped a set as well. Down to 2k now with 12 spots until the $$. This is where I excel in going out on the bubble.

[Rizen]

still table 5... been an up and down hour...

-Rizen

[Philuva]

Not bad considering I just barely made the money. I got KK when I had like 1,200 left and doubled up.

[Rizen]

Hanging in there... lots of large stacks at my table though.

-Rizen

[Rizen]

tried to push around an aggressive player with a double gut-shot draw and ended up committing myself, finished 47th I believe.
