***
I don't have a lot of feeling about any of these players, other than knowing that vipdirect is a tough solid player who is experienced at higher limits. kogo9 has been trying to bully me for a while, and getting away with it. wgp123 is the massive chip leader from above, who has been playing his big stack very well on the other tables (I have been keeping any eye on them on the side while playing mine)

An important pot that I am not in. As stated, there are the top 4 chip stacks in the tourney at this table. One of them (48886) min raises UTG to 3000. Another one (59341) calls. The button (2+2s Ho_ender 63091) raises to 9250. UTG reraises to 23200. Caller folds, and Ho_ender moves all in. UTG calls.

*** I'm steaming a bit at this moment. I've doubled up three players inside one orbit of the table, with three ok-ish hands (having lost with the best of it, the worst of it, and in a close matchup), and am now back to only being above average stack instead of dominant. I resolve to slow down and calm down, and fold some marginal hands in the next orbit such as A5s and 66 **

***
I don't have a lot of feeling about any of these players, other than knowing that vipdirect is a tough solid player who is experienced at higher limits. kogo9 has been trying to bully me for a while, and getting away with it. wgp123 is the massive chip leader from above, who has been playing his big stack very well on the other tables (I have been keeping any eye on them on the side while playing mine)

Seat 9: TheSame5Guys ( $455596 )
Seat 2: kogo9 ( $75014 )
Seat 10: sololiving ( $83426 )
At this point, all the sit&go experience helps. I *know* they are going to be trying to outlast each other, meaning I can move all in pretty much at will here, and they are going to be folding almost every time as they hope someone else calls and maybe they move up $2500 in real money. vipdirect gets the first few move-in's in on me when I'm in late position, but then slows down.
