[Prime Time]

1st break uneventful. Lost w/ AK twice. Won blinds once w/ it.
At first break w/ T1530

PGA71

[DonButtons]

Im at 1355, pretty uneventful first hour. All my hands missed the flop pretty much.


Hopefully my late game will be more eventful.

[Lloyd]

Right there with ya Don. I'm at 1305 and think I've put money in the pot maybe twice.

Table 39 Magic Pig

[zokbarjazz]

Table 53. Rough first hour.
Now up to T1020 after doubling up with 66 flopped set.

[Registrationtoo]

4745 after first break /images/graemlins/smile.gif nothin special.

[mctommy015]

Rough first hour, everyone folded when i raised my AA and KK, lost with AK once. Hanging out at 1340

[DonButtons]

Ok, Im back in business. At 4000+.

I got paid off by pocket kings on a ace high flop when I had AK.

Then I had QQ in the big blind, pushed to a mp raiser, and doubled up on AJ.

[mctommy015]

lol, tripled up with AA in the small blind when the button pushed with 2-4o, and BB called with AKs. At around 4500

[DonButtons]

KsJs in the small blind. 4 limpers.

I complete to 150. BB checks.

Flop 10s 9s 4d. Pot 750.


I check. Checks all around to the button who pushs for 1900.

Fold? Two over cards, inside straight draw, straight flush draw?

Should I of bet the flop???

Even though you have a lot of outs, with that many limpers I'd probably check and see if I can get a cheap card.

[Prime Time]

2nd break started out doubling up w/ AA against JJ.
Lost w/ AQ s against A10 when I put him all-in b4 flop.
Bumped out 2 limpers and the blinds w/ nice raise b4 flop w/ 2 tens.
Whiffed 700 w/ KQ.

At second break w/ T2895

[Lloyd]

Well I was up to around T3900 (just above average) and raised with 43s in EP (a game theory raise). Unfortunately, I got re-raised all-in by a short stack and had over 2 to 1 odds making it an auto call if I put him on anything other than just overcards. So it cost be 1/3 of my stack and I'm down to T2410. Hopefully I'll get paid off before the table breaks when I raise with a monster and people remember. That's a lot of wishful thinking but all I've got right now.

Thanks, thats was my purpose of checking, hoping to see a turn cheaply.

[DonButtons]

Damn, just got moved and lost to aq with ak all in preflop, down to 2700...Arhh...

[Geoff]

I'm done. My 77 v TT. Got the 7 but he got the T.

[Lloyd]

Well I've had a little bit of a comeback at around T8300 at Second Break.

Table 10 Magic Pig

[Prime Time]

3rd level drilled out the same guy that got me w AQ vs A10 last level w/ the same hand.
Had QQ but only got call by shorty stack w 600.
Doubled up w/ AKs in sb when I pushed and got called by button raiser w/ A 10.
Two hands later busted him out w/ A 10 vs 67.

@ 13k. Had to fold QQ twice preflop which ended up being good folds. i need some cards /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[DonButtons]

at 18k, KK to a utg limper's J7 s00ted!!!

[DonButtons]

made the money cut so far...still got a long road ahead

[Prime Time]

4th level.
Stole relentlessly at bubble.
Put in a big raise w/ AA and got called all in by 99 all-in, and he made his flush at the river lol. Talked him into the call. My mistake I guess. Blew 6K here.
Blew another 4K on a called steal, and then got pushed off the hand.

12736. No good cards coming . Ineed to double up

[DonButtons]

Im at 13.5k, last big blind I had 88, UTG plus 1 or 2 goes all in for 13k.

I fold, he says he had 99. GL everyone.

[Lloyd]

Out 89th. Card dead since the last break and I called w/J6s vs. TT because of odds. GL all.

That's a tough fold but I don't think it's a bad one. Obviously, you'd push with that in a heart beat. But I've lost too many times recently with smaller pairs calling against either overcards or bigger pairs that I've thought a lot about my strategy there. 88 is my normal cutoff. If I sense weakness I'll call, but folding is a strong option. With 99 I call pretty much anytime.

[DonButtons]

damn blinds 2000/4000.

folded to me in MP with AQs

I have 36k

I make it 9k.

Next guy to act pushs all in 50k.

I called like a dumb ass, worst call in my life.

Out 54-57 something, forgot...

[Prime Time]

5th level.
Card dead for 35 minutes then called all in from BB w/ AK and beat Q 10. (10 hit flop, but lovely bullet rivered me saving my tourney life.) Now healthy.
Two hands later push w/ AQ and get the blinds and 1 limper w/ only 2K left.
Blinds huge now and eating into stacks.


At 5th break w/ T24406
PGA71

[Prime Time]

6TH level
Card dead and when I had an Ace, some1would beat me to the pot w/ a raise.
Got AK vs AQ and it held up.
Called a raise all in from the button with KQ in the BB and it held up.
Two hands later, I push w/ AK and get called by KJ who has me covered, and am eliminated in 21st when both a K and J hit the flop.
Thanks for the sweat Sluke and VC.

[Prime Time]

Not a bad finish for a field of 1500.
A definite confidence booster to start off the year, and head off to Atlantis.
It all ended when my AK push was greeted by KJ that had me covered (only a 3-1 favorite), the flop had both a K and a J and my hopes for the final table were dashed.
