I'm in.

Here's a question for you guys - very FIRST hand of the tourney. EP raiser to 55 (blinds 10/15)

I have AJcc. I call.

Flop A84, no clubs, two spades. He bets 100 into a 130ish pot. I call.

Turn: blank. He bets 250 into a 330ish pot, I fold.

[Conor]

First hand, no reads, very dangerous. I fold preflop.

If calling preflop, then I'd raise that flop. Putting him on AA/AK/AQ is assuming a bit. I'd want to try breaking him off before he can bluff me out, assuming he has a high pair, a weaker ace, or a draw. If he has me beat, I'll know soon enough.

[billyjex]

i love being on the good end of an AA vs. KK.

[billyjex]

1970 at first break. WSOP here I come!

[bugstud]

when you bust, IF you bust /images/graemlins/grin.gif, post your thoughts on the play if you would. I'd like to know if the play is bad enough to overcome the bad stuff as pointed out in the sirio WSOP thread here floating around.

[Conor]

What a way to get broke. I overplayed this, which makes the beat not as bad. Preflop raiser had been raising a bit, roughly proportionally to the strength of his holdings. As for the results, I just tell myself, "he had AJ, he had AJ..." Anyway, good luck kiddos.

[Edge34]

I just earned my way into tomorrow night's by winning the $9 and $36 qualifiers. Good luck tonight man, I'll have to start the ***OFFICIAL*** one tomorrow.

See you in Las Vegas? (Knock on wood - a lot)

[billyjex]

Well if i continue to be a luckbox you might.

Lost nearly all of my chips with TP vs. flopped straight.

down to 6xbb, double up against QQ w/ A9 after i rivered trip nines. two hands later I pushed w/ QQ and rivered a set on AA.

[Edge34]

Keep bustin' em!

Just saw you knock a guy out (I gave you a sup bro at your last table, but got nothin'...), big call there with your A8.

Figured I'd rail a while before bed, keep up the good work!

[billyjex]

alright, the nerves are starting.

60 left, average is 10.3k, I have 15k.

[Edge34]

Just keep the game on - dance with the one that brung ya.

My nerves have already started for tomorrow night's... /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I really need to go to bed, I got class at 9...Good luck!

[IHateKeithSmart]

Watching billy - keep it up. Sorry 'bout the staller - that blows.

[billyjex]

blind steals are getting snapped off. cant flop anything when i do.

staller is super annoying.

[billyjex]

i've had AA twice in the last 30 minutes and only got the blinds.

k7, however, i got stop &amp; go'ed.

you're just studly like that

my stars 650 today, that first hand w/aces where I almost lost to the other AA is the only AA I got in the tourney....so it could be worse /images/graemlins/grin.gif

gl, keep on rollin

[mikeyworm]

seems to me like the table is tightening up a little too early. i'd start opening more, esp. from EP where they seem to have some respect.

[billyjex]

goddamn, i just dont get that staller in hand for hand.

he's making this more painfully slow than it needs to be.

[mikeyworm]

damn. that sucks. but i am absolutley sure you made the right play for those table conditions with the blinds coming around.

[billyjex]

/images/graemlins/frown.gif

It sucks the absolute worst hand called me (KJs vs. KK)

i need a bubble club hug

Amazingly, the staller made it in. Was only playing QQ and up, from what I can tell.

[billyjex]

he should have been out 1 before the money.

he was all in w/ JJ on a K high flop, someone had AK and he rivered a J.
