3025...at table96

[TheTimeIsUp]

2565 at the break, after my AA doubles off of 55 the last hand.

[MLG]

745. poker hates me.

[Zinzan]

t2065, table 60.

[ThrillFactor]

2047

pretty uneventful. flopped a set of sevens but by the river there was a 4-flush on the board, so no value bet for me /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Renixe]

Had T3000, now down to T1700.

[bugstud]

table 77, 1920 now

[CardSharpCook]

is TeddyKGB69 a Trout?

[CoconutBaba]

Around T1200. Was going pretty good until I found a royal-draw and was milked by a set

[MLG]

out. raised AJ preflop and got called in one spot. pushed a 1094 flop. got called by A9. on party 2nd pair is the nuts.

[DonButtons]

2635 at the 2nd break, table 14...

[Zinzan]

t4745. Was up to t7700 or so, but my JJ ran into AA. He semi-slowplayed them, as we both called a short-stack all-in player who raised to t670.

Be careful out there. Slowplayed aces knocked me out of the Million yesterday.

[profitman]

table 31...1800

[ThrillFactor]

4770

was looking pretty bad at 8 minutes b4 the break. But stealing blinds 3 times over the last two orbits with 10BB pushes set the table up for my 11BB AA push. Got called by 77 and 99 to nearly triple /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Tried to steal and orbit later with 44 from the CO and got flatcalled by the button. But I fired out a 1/2 pot on the flop and he folded.

Let's see what happens now.

t7140, #12.

[TheTimeIsUp]

had 2600, push with AQs, called by TT. A hits, but he hits a flush. GG all, gl!

[Zinzan]

t16125 (avg=8518, entrants=1840, left=324, money @ 220). table 28. annoying... they keep breaking my table and moving me just 1 or 2 tables up.

-Z

[CoconutBaba]

T13600. Had a rush of bad-beats going my way and way involver way to much. Was up at 21K, but landed - completely on tilt at 13K when the break saved me. Starting veeeeery cautious now

[Renixe]

t10489. Would have had 16k but my flopped bottom 2 pair got outdrawn by a shortish stack who tried to slowplay KK.

[ThrillFactor]

7550 at third break, but up to 11K now after reraising a cronic blind stealer all-in with pocket 8s

[ThrillFactor]

But I've come to learn it's the kind that wins tournaments. I didn't like my BB hand at all, but when the raiser left me nearly 3 to 1 odds on my pf call (and he couldn't bust me if I hit my flop and he was on an overpair) I figured I'd try to be an Accumulator...

out about 230th, couldnt recover after losing KK-KQ.

[Zinzan]

Damn, when I was at your table, I knew I had seen your name before, but thought it was at the tables, not in here. Hate to see you were bubbleboy.

No hand for hand on Party anymore? None in this tourney, and I hear there was none at the Million yesterday.

t19800, table 3. in the money, second step. 163 left. avg is t16900.

[Renixe]

T21089, table #7

[ThrillFactor]

thought i was dead and buried with 7500.

but a few well timed hands at the beginning of the 5th hour and I'm up to 22.5K

[Zinzan]

Great. What's your name on Party, ThrillFactor?

I'm at t21313 now. My table has been stalling since 30 from the bubble. It's bad.

-Z

[ThrillFactor]

Ucked_Fup. table 4.

who and where r u?

[Zinzan]

oh yeah, i've played with you before. i'm zinzan, table 3.

-Z

[ThrillFactor]

SB came after my BB when I had AA!!

Yes!

up to 45K

[Zinzan]

table 3, t44K.

avg is t38K. 73 players left.

-Z

[ThrillFactor]

67K

Had built up to 45K, but lost half that on two all-ins with smaller stacks - once i was ahead, once behind.

Then KK came and I tripled against JJ and AKs.

Woot!

[Zinzan]

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

I've only seen AA once and KK once, and neither in a couple hours.

-Z

[Renixe]

Was up to T100,000 at one point after I made a huge draw against a LAG - probably 20 hands later I make a critical error (called like 27k reraise with 88 - he had qq) and back down to 50, then called a raise once with AQ, flopped nothing, tried to steal when he checked and he checkraised me all in, and i'm forced to fold.

Was at 40k at the break, just right now I moved in against a minraiser after I called on the flop on my BB with 89 suited - flop 659 two hearts (not my suit), moved in for 30k and he called and missed with his heart draw and one overcard.

I'll try not to make any more critical errors. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Zinzan]

I'm out at 52. AJ ran into KK. Probably should have folded AJ UTG instead of pushing.

And I see Renixe just went out at 51.

gl, ucked_fup.

-Z

[Zinzan]

Wow, and ucked_fup goes out at 50. Is that the last of us, going out at 52, 51, and 50? Shame.

-Z

[ThrillFactor]

unreal..

KK in BB, UTG min-raises with TT and I set him all-in. I guess you can figure out what happened next.

So goddamned frustrating...

GL to all who are left.

[ThrillFactor]

a real shame if you woulda seen how i went out.

[Renixe]

Called an all-in from the chip leader (UTG) who is bullying people around from the BB with 66 for 33k more. Hoped it would be a coinflip but he had 88, and I didn't improve. Have regrets calling, probably should have mucked it.

I played terrible toward the end of the tournament. Hopefully I can keep my concentration and focus longer, I am not used to these 6-7 hour sessions and I tend to not think out my decisions toward the end when it really counts.

[/ QUOTE ]

I tend to not call all-in with low pairs unless I'm really desperate. Even if he is bluffing, you're only in good shape if he's got a lower pair or something like A3. You're likely at best a small favorite and often a big dog.

Now a push with a low pair is not nearly as bad--you hope you don't get called, but if you do, you might win the hand.

I regret my last play, too. Down to 40K with 3K/6K blinds, I get AKs in UTG+2. I push, and everyone folds. I don't regret that play. Next hand, I get AJo. I push my 49K UTG+1, and big stack CO cuts me down with KK.

At 49K, I had time to wait for a better hand and a better position. Plus, I went out at 52, and the next pay level (hey to ThrillFactor) paid $220 more.

I saw your final hand with 77, but I don't think that's the hand you're talking about... You were already down pretty low (12K? 17K?) at that point.

See ya at the final table next time!

-Z

(won't actually be playing next week, though, as I'll be out of the country)

[Renixe]

Yep, all in all in think it was a pretty bad call. Even though I would be down to ~5xBB after paying the SB after folding, I probably really could have waited for a better spot than that.

I felt pretty bad after I got knocked out. At one point I was, I think, 2nd in chips when the blinds were 1500/3000 and I had 100k in chips with 100 remaining, and I just blew it. /images/graemlins/frown.gif Oh well. Every tournament's a learning experience, and I certainly learned from this one.
