Nice one. I saw the guy you doubled through say something in the general chat box about it... good luck. I'm at Willemstad, a few small pots @ 2900.

4235 at the break... no interesting hands.

[billyjex]

still sitting around 5000 at break.

I saw Sirio being crippled when his aces where cracked by kings. That's always harsh. But hey - nothing stopping you from going to the top now /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Embarassed to post this one.. 100/200 Raise to 550 w/ AQo in MP1, folded to BB, who pushes for ~2500 . I make a horrible call and knock out AK when a Q hits the turn. @ 7200

14K at 2nd break...

[LearnedfromTV]

In case anyone is following this monologue or still playing in this, here's the hand that got me to 20K...

One limper, completed SB w/ A8. Flop AJT two diamonds. Check, limper bets 800, I call. Turn 8, check, limper bets 1500, I checkraise to 4K. River K diamonds. Check check. He shows T8.

What name do you play under?

[LearnedfromTV]

tomchambers... you still in it?

No. Big Deal is too much for me. I don't have that kind of money yet.
I'm trying to qualify for The Grand V through the MTTs. So I'm just railbirding it.

It's a bit of a stretch for my bankroll too but I like to play it every once in a while, usually I'll satellite in this time I bought in. I was definitely weak-tight on the bubble. Not happy to go out 23rd, but I'll take the 300 profit.

(A5 in SB pushed into shorter stacks TT in BB crippled me, then A7 UTG ran into aces. Oh well.)
