If that is Allen Cunningham, someone explain this play to me? Trying to build a big stack at any cost?

T5,065 @ the break

[ClaytonN]

t2,990 after the first break

Get down to 2k after grandiose calls me down with 33 on a ragged flop against my high cards (I lost about the minimum I could). I then got down to 1.4k ish after I doubled up a shortstack with my 44 versus his AK. The very next hand I double up with 99 versus AQ. I need to avoid coinflips :P

[bugstud]

2298...nada happening

7435 at the break. I'm so lucky /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[rugz]

couple good laydowns, 1 nice all in call!

[burgi]

4035 at break! Had AA once and doubled up with that. Apart from that, nothing special.

[ClaytonN]

Okay, I have my CLIF bar and my Georgia hat now, so I'm destined for good luck this next hour.

[arcticfox]

I watched that hand, AQ vs AK vs AK all in pre-flop and you flop a queen, nh!

[MSUcougar]

3035 at first break... alot of chips at my table and alot of really interesting play (to put it nicely)

[Laomedon]

t4320 at table 151

[prayformojo]

1700 at the break. Very slooowwwwly built my stack above 3k, only to have Q9 call all in after a raiser and my re-raise with AK and hit a Q river. I would like cards now please.

[yabastid]

No reads on Villian, came to table with big stack.

Gone. I really had nothing going for me today. Steals restole, zero flops hit ('cept one). I had around 9BB and shoved in the SB when folded to with J9o and BB woke up with 77. And I lose another coinflip.

I still am confident I made the right decision though. I just didn't have anything going for me today.

[yabastid]

AA loses to QJo- I love it!

whats with people

[TheTimeIsUp]

Just lost an over 6k coiner when the average is 4k. I Aced up, and he rivered the 2 outer. I should have never opened my eyes.

[Bigdaddydvo]

Well, after being down to 800 or so, up to 6K. An AQ outraced 44, and I just took down a big one by shoving AK from the SB after UTG raised to 500 and had 2 callers. Everyone folded.

[ansky451]

My 21 outer missed and im out.

(it was a fake 21 outer, all in preflop with AK vs 99)

[dirty moose]

out in 1658th

[pfkaok]

Was down to under 1k right after the break... doubled up on a coinflip, picked off a big stacks bluff, stole some blinds, then picked up AQ on button with it folded to me, and called an allin from blinds (with KQ). held on there, and now am up to 8435 on table 165

[Laomedon]

Just pulled off a monster bluff, up to t13115 at table 151. That was too frightening.

[Bigdaddydvo]

With some silly blind play, flushed like half my stack. T3100

[prayformojo]

Villain is semi-loose (27%VPIP) and quite passive pre-flop, based on about 60 hands in this tournament only. He has called some flop bets, but hasn't really shown any aggression.

I have been raising more than most pre-flop, but every hand I've shown down has been big. As soon as I raised I felt like it should have been more, but I would like some advice on the flop play.

id fold, good chance he has pocket 10's or he hit the flop and you only have 6 outs, why put your self in that position? if he is willing to be out of position the whole way, hes showing strength, its hard to bluff in that postion

[Bigdaddydvo]

Out...Down to 1600 and called another shortstack all in w/A9s, ran into AJ. Not the best hand to make a stand with, but when blinds are that big you can't be picky.

[schwah]

ended first hour with under 2k, 2nd hour has been better for me. 16k at 2nd break

[Double Eagle]

After I donk my chips into QQ with 77. Lucky for me PokerStars Retard Protection Algorithm is working today and I flop a 7 to double up...

Whew.... lucky for me my AA and KK allins haven't been called.

actually i'm gettin really lucky though... 20,450 on table 165

[rugz]

11.7k at 2nd break

[Double Eagle]

RPA kicks in as I get it all in with KQ vs AQ in a battle of the blinds. Two kings on the flop and a dodged flush draw double me up, but the very next hand I go OTT of a LP raiser with AJs and get a call from a short stack in the BB while the raiser folds. I flop the flush draw but blank the turn and river to end up where I'm at.

[pfkaok]

40845 at 3rd break... table 426

Good chance to make my first money in one of these things.

[steeser]

Got knocked out 55th, a few hands after losing most of my stack with AKs against AQo all-in pre-flop. 3 diamonds on the flop and a 4th diamond on the turn gave my opponent the Q high flush. Win that hand and I'm over 200K.

That one hurt.
