[Kevin123]

So far I've managed to have AK hit both the A and K and lose to a guy that called a raise preflop with 46 and hit his flush and a set of jacks busted by a 47 that hit his straight. Gotta love this game...looks like I'm gonna hit the break right around 1300 chips

[Edge34]

[censored] A.

Out last hand before the damn break, AJ ran into some bullshit Big Blind special that flopped two pair to my TPTK, never saw it coming. 74o vs. AJ only hits the J74 flop against me, I think.... /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Out with some crap in the SB.

[pokerstudAA]

I am 1063 after getting all in on the turn against a one card flush draw.

[Bonafone]

Out as well at 1306. Did poorly on my coinraces.

[TheTimeIsUp]

AK loses to KQ. Should be at 4k, but I am at 200!

[MSUcougar]

Out 99 vs AJ

[tom441lbk]

got creative in some pots 4933

[pokerstudAA]

Was down to 1000 ...got a coin flip + got aggressive....started stealing like crazy...
People are folding to my BB - life is goot.


6600 now...avg 3300...I am coasting until 2nd break

[tom441lbk]

flurry before break, AA twice, and a9 breaks AK

[yanicehand]

time to start stealing like a maniac

[rugz]

1 horrible play w/78s cost me 3000 chips

[fnurt]

Was down to 505 chips, shoved it in with 55... got a ton of callers and flopped a set to quintuple up. Haven't seen that in a while.

[bugstud]

like 1940? at the break I guess it was. Still in on 74 now

edit - done. QJs loses to nines, last 30 chips get busted by aces

[TheTimeIsUp]

AK runs into AA to seal my fate. Just not my day.

[yanicehand]

out. lost a huge pot with AK to KJ, then pushed K7s in sb when folded too, lost to AQ.

[rugz]

out. went into panic mode after losing my KQ vs KJ. Fuc i hate myself sometimes! GL to those still in.

[tom441lbk]

still in on #15 with t5598

[pokerstudAA]

25 minutes until the break....

570 left...

t10551 (avg. 6700) and stealing as much as i can. They moved two big stacks to my right so stealing has become riskier...

[tom441lbk]

out on a donk steal, i should have bet this after the flop agreed? I don't know what compelled me to push, i guess my thought that he had absolutely nothing and would call with overcards, main mistake is not raising enough preflop and not putting down a continuation bet

[pfkaok]

whats with the round structure counting time during breaks?

[tipperdog]

Out on first hand after break. Open raised A9d. Flat called in MP. Flop J-high nothing. I pushed. Called by 77. No help.

[pokerstudAA]

getting banged around a bit.....16600. avg is 15k with 240 left..

that banjat had been waiting to reraise me from his BB all night....

the bigger stacks are starting to move

[pfkaok]

Just doubled up with KK... 92s tried to steal when i was small blind, and committed himself to call my push.

up to 17260 now... first i've been over average since first break. but with 1500 BB i'm still pretty short.

[pokerstudAA]

yepper...i am getting worked over on the bubble....

12864...blinds 750/1500

avg. 16k ....

time to make the $ and get out of the kiddie pool.

[pfkaok]

Yep, at least just made money at break... only 14.7k, but pretty happy to have made money in both this and stars' today.

[pokerstudAA]

12800 at break...220 left...avg 17k

time to gamble..there will be fireworks after the break all around

[Chuckster]

In the money.....Table 12...Busting_Nuts

Got below average stack of 12k


Table 21 has my ol college roomate Alex Prendes in it (The Worst Guy). He'll be on ESPN Tuesday night on the WSOP Circuit Event Final Table

[pokerstudAA]

called off my 4xBB short stack from the SB with 33 preflop in a big ass pot. up against TT and AQ...im out in 179th...

probably a bad call but i was getting decent odds at 4x up here. would push me much deeper in the $ than folding my way to 141th for an extra $50.

[Chuckster]

out 142

big time card dead and blinds forced me out

[pfkaok]

gettin pretty lucky here. got AA after big stack open-pushed with T6, then caught a miricle flop to knock 2 players out... up to 72.8k now. table 3

[bcotton]

wtg, been watching sirio, he's tourney lead atm on 7

[kyro]

Sirio is sucking out like a hooker right now. It's unreal. Keep it up!

[pfkaok]

55.8k at break... damn big stack on my right won't let me pick up any blinds. slowly running down my stack.

[Larimani]

I'm a bit confused by that last hand. Anyone care to explain why? How confident do you need to be that villain got AK to make the move Sirio made?

Regardless, good game Sirio!

[sirio11]

Well, after a good rush, and the chip lead, I pull a "Gavin" lost 3 big hands in a row. JJ-AQ. 99-AK and 88-QQ. Now to analize the 88 hand.

[Chuckster]

i saw the 88 hand

Need to fold that....your either dominated...as was the case....or its a coin flip.

you are dominating nothing there and still have healthy stack if u fold.

Great job though. congrats

[/ QUOTE ]


You need to be pretty confident. The only hands he is pushing are big pairs and AK. If it is AK and you win your stack is easily final table size. Payout goes up at 30,20,10 payout is pretty flat until final table.

That said - fold it. You still have a big stack and can keep working the timid.
