zuluking continues the quest for micro GOLD

[zuluking]

Gotta love the Empire 1+0 daily NL tourney. First place is $79! The blinds have passed me once and I have yet to play a hand. 318 started the tourney with 50 gone in the first 15 minutes. 975 chips. Table 17.

[zuluking]

Level 2 now and the blinds have passed me again without a hand played. 945 chips.

I'll be at empire once i locate another 'clean' computer

good luck, i couldn't play serious in a tourney like that, and would push, bluff a lot sorta like the party point freerolls

if i had a sizeable stack(prob min 3x the ave) at the break I might start playing serious

Something to do on a friday afternoon. Still level 2, the blinds have passed again, and I'm card dead. 895 chips. 1/3 of the field gone in the first 35 minutes.

[zuluking]

Still at level 3, I'm in the BB and get J6 offsuit. No raise and the flop is 9JJ (2 diamonds). I check, chip leader bets, 2 calls, I go all-in, chip leader folds, button calls, SB folds. Button has Q10 diamonds, turn is 5 diamonds, river is 6 giving me the boat. Whew! 1725 chips with 169 players left.

[zuluking]

We've hit the first break and I'm now at table 16. 1725 chips, 154 out of 318 remain.

Watching ya...make us proud!

[zuluking]

I've been moved to table 12 and away from the approaching blinds into the CO! Still 1725 chips with 148 remaining.

[davelin]

Doh! Ten on the turn! /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[zuluking]

Wow! What a hand! I'm dealt 88 in the CO. I call, button raises to 400, MP calls, I call. Flop is 2 8 2. MP bets big, I go all-in, button calls all-in, MP calls all-in. turn is 10, river is K. I lose to 10 10 from MP. Button had 99. Wow, I WOULD have trippled up to chip lead! Instead, its back to 2/4.

[davelin]

Yeah that sucked, literally it was the first hand I watched and the chaos enfolded. I may have folded to Button's pre-flop raise when you couldn't get it heads up between you two.

[TripleH68]

You have inspired me. I am playing a cheesy $3 buy-in limit HE tourney on PS...and my set of 8s just got crushed by a gutshot str8. Go zu.

In a "real" tourney, I probably would have in that situation. But, eh, its a dolla!

Hi Zulu,
I read your post too late, but I can't find the tourny anyway. I'm looking under Empire Tournament menu and only see one running which is a $5+1 with 60 players, number 775. I am looking in the right place. I'd just like to know for future reference and to take a look at how it's going for the rest of the field. =TomBk

Zero rake is cool.

Fast blind levels is not cool.

Good luck, though!

Make sure you un-click the "show registering" box once a tourney starts if you want to find it on the list.
