I'll be playing with my chat off (since any comments during hands, encouraging or the opposite seem to send me off kilter these days), but I'm following this thread.

See you guys at the final table!

[niwotyalpi]

selurahraf - table 213. 96 K here i come baby, daddy needs a new house /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[jennicide]

....a house? worth 90k? ...

[TheTimeIsUp]

Table 223

[Mad Genius1]

90K is enough for a downpayment, right?

Anyway, GL everyone. Not doing it this week, too busy watching football.

[niwotyalpi]

sarcasm Jenn.....come on now /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[McMelchior]

Table 233 (Rhonda B) ... a true action table!

I just doubled on the fifth hand with AK against the LAGgie BB who check/re-raised me on a K hi flop ... I move in, he calls with KQ and I'm above t5,000! That should vouch for at least the top 1,500 or so, lol.

Best,

McMelchior (Johan)

[partygirluk]

Depends where Daddy lives.

[scottjf8]

Why I hate low PP's.. Fold this mother preflop right?

[remen]

I am in on table 221.

[prayformojo]

215 -- Fortunus

[hardinda]

I'm in on table 242

[Double Eagle]

I'm in this (table 140) and got AA and QQ twice in first 15 hands. Unfortunately i netted -200 on those three hands....

[Prime Time]

my JJ to his 10 10
Yeeha!

[remen]

That was fast...I got all in with QQ on a 892 board against pocket 2's and lost all my chips except for 100. Next hand I get jacks and run into queens. Good luck to those left.

[Chief911]

I'm out. Got it all in and caught someone on a steal with 66. He spiked an ace on the river and out I go.

nick

[niwotyalpi]

Wooohooooo finally picked up my 1st pot 40 minutes in.

[MLG]

out. JJ against AQ, after some other unfortunates. gl all.

[McMelchior]

Out.

First I failed to fight this un-controllable urge to give the aggressive Norwegian player on the BB two thirds of my superior stack holding AJs vs. his pretty obvious AK, and then my re-pop from the BB with Q2 got called by the LAGgie SB's AT and didn't improve.

#1,739, didn't manage to make my goal (of top 1,500). Ah well.

GL to who's left in!

Best,

McMelchior (Johan)

[niwotyalpi]

1st break T1865. Could have been worse I guess, I didn't see many hands.

[Lloyd]

I'm out. Didn't get any cards and was down to about 1900. Certainly not desperate, but somebody pushed from LP with about 1400. Definitely seemed weak. I had AQ and called. Good call as he had AJ but hit a Jack on the turn. Doubled up w/A3 vs. K9. And then all-in w/55 vs. QQ and lost.

Gl everyone

[jennicide]

4.7k at first break...no huge pots yet...GL all still in

[Prime Time]

T6065 at 1st break.
Hope they keep my table in tact.

PGA71

[scottjf8]

T800 or so (yes, hundred)

Need to make a move soon.. chased one hand, then had to make a few big laydowns (that turned out to be correct ones)

[dankhank]

T7130 after a solid first hour of play

[TheTimeIsUp]

3495 at the break

[Double Eagle]

busted someone AA vs AK right before break. Table 146 now.

[niwotyalpi]

Just doubled again. T6260. table 295 now. Starting to like this table, I been running hot since i got moved here.

[scottjf8]

nice!

I doubled 3 times since having T800 at the break.. JK, flop 2 pair.. then 33 on someone trying to steal, then 66 v. 55...

[niwotyalpi]

Wow everything is going my way at the moment.

Flop: 962 rainbow. I set a small stack all in with Q J thinking he will for sure fold. He calls me with 77.

Turn: Q and he's gone.

T7565

[Double Eagle]

took hit early when I flopped top and bottom pair out of the BB and got counterfeited on the river. Doubled up just before break when I pick off a river bluff with second pair in a battle of the blinds. Currently at table 254.

[scottjf8]

4100 at 2nd break after being down to 800 at the first break... some major luck..

[dankhank]

T4800 after a bad second hour of play

[TheTimeIsUp]

12.3k at the break

[Prime Time]

guy on my left keeps restaling on me and I have to muck.

two time ago if I called all in w/ my A 10 clubs I would have made flush.
He had AK and other idiot called w/ K 10.

He busted on last hand b4 break.
I had 66 ug and limp, he raises all in. He was called by co w/ QQ and busts out. He had 88.
Glad he is gone, but now I am down to T 4352.

Got to get some cards, cause I will be stealing.

PGA

[niwotyalpi]

Grrrr. Took a pretty big hit late. 2nd break - T3450. Im hanging in there.

[prayformojo]

Out at 632nd. Min raise from UTG, cold called by CO, I went all in from the BB with AKs happy to steal the pot or try a coin toss. I called heads against TT and went down unimproved.

[niwotyalpi]

Ahhhhhhhhhh. My AK loses to a shortstacks pair of ducks. Now I'm back to desperation mode. T3735.

[scottjf8]

Just had KK with all in before me, so I'm near 8k now...

[TheTimeIsUp]

Damn. Pushed with AK, up against AA. Maybe I over estimated AK? COmments?

[niwotyalpi]

Wooohoooo. I was all the way down to 1800. 4 straight steals followed by a double up on AK. I got some chips to move now T 15.6 K. table 99.

[Prime Time]

Elmer Fudd infront of me and keeps using his chip leader stack, and I can't get in.
Shhhht.

[niwotyalpi]

What was your stack size in relation to the blinds?? Unless you had a fairly deep stack this is just one of those hands thats hard to avoid with escalating blinds.

[niwotyalpi]

lol hang in there

[niwotyalpi]

Sorry if this is well known on here. But is menthemaster the real Men Nguyen. I notice he is from Bell Gardens. This is the real Men no?????

[dankhank]

T34000 as the stalling begins. i played scrappy shortstack poker for about an hour, so i am quite pleased to be where i am now.

[Prime Time]

Doubled up w/AA against a guy who kept coming over the top.
Nailed him good, lol.
Set the trap and got to spring it.

T 10357.
Ok lets play some cards!
GL to all that are left.
PGA71 on table 8.

[niwotyalpi]

3rd break. Im a hanging by a thread T3520. Just hoping to make the money at this point. 5 to go.

[Double Eagle]

Got my chips up to 27k then blinded down a bit. Took a coinflip with ak vs qq and was down to 4k when a Q and ace flopped. All in two hands later qj vs 96 and he makes a boat. Not happy with myself, as there was no reason to take that CF....

[scottjf8]

21k at the third break, after being at 860 first break and 1500 second break... some unbelieveable hands (pocket 3's all in v. 2 others and won)

[scottjf8]

we're in the money! we're in the money!

Congrats all!

[niwotyalpi]

yep i made it barely. now its time to attempt to make a move. table 99 T 2920.

[niwotyalpi]

Out in 197. AQ loses to AK. Good Luck to those still in.

[hardinda]

Made the money, then had AK run into 33 with no help.

[Prime Time]

Pushed w/ KQs, got called by AQ.
Hit he K on the flop, but the A came rite on cue on the turn, and out we go.

Yaser just showed up to gimme the horns.
Just kidding thanks for stopping bye,
U2 Torro. Thanks.
Got Party still going.

GL to all who is left.

[dankhank]

out at 160th. my friend is criticizing me for my bustout hand. i think it was bad too.

i've got 28k in EP with blinds 2000/4000. bigger stacks all over my left side. i get 99 and think about doing a raise to 10k, but then i quickly think "all your chips are probably going in anyway" and decide to raise allin. big stack in LP thinks for a long, long time and calls with QQ and i'm out. if i had raised to 10k and got put allin i wonder what i would've done. i could've folded and had 18k left with ~6k in blinds coming quick.

bleh, it was a bad play definitely. i just wonder if it was only mostly bad, or all bad.

[scottjf8]

I'm out 106th.. had about 14k, in BB, guy goes all in for another 5k to me, I call with K9 - he's got 6's and flops his set - i'm out next hand with ace-4..

[Prime Time]

You did the rite thing.
Just ran into a bigger hand.
Thats poker.

The only bad play there is folding, anything else is results oriented....

[niwotyalpi]

With only 7 BB's I am pushing everyday of the week and twice on Sundays with 99. You made the right play just sucks he had QQ. Also, why did big stack think for a long time before calling. Should have been insta call on his part since im assuming when u say "big" stack that he had u well covered. Congrats on placing.

[dankhank]

[/ QUOTE ]

i assume he spent most of the time deciding whether to raise all-in or call (which he did), with others to act behind him. he used like 40 seconds of his time bank, even, so maybe he was trying to induce another caller. really not sure.
