Stars 3R 10K Guaranteed

I see some familiar names, gl, table 171

[istewart]

Good luck. 99 here.

Why the hell is this still "10k guaranteed"? When has the prize pool ever been under even 15k?

I'm not familiar, I'm sure...but I'm playing at table 8.
gl all

im in at table 158.....havent seen a decent hand yet and the rebuy round is almost over....dangit

gl all

[Melchiades]

This is horrible. I get moved around 4 times. All tables suck.

[Sam T.]

Studio..er...Table 54, but seeing more action than the disco hot spot. Guy just to my left was shoving every single hand until he finally doubled up. He must be in for $40. I just opened up my handy "Win % against any two" chart and called whenever I hit 50%.

t11.5k at the break.

[Melchiades]

Wow. Picked up AA at the right time. Im at 16.7 after add on. Life doesn't suck as much anymore.

[gobboboy]

5k after the addon, in for $3 times X, where X is the number of rebuys I did. QQ lost to Q6o in the hand before the break all in preflop.

Must win.

[Melchiades]

I was that guy at another table. Doubled everyone at least once, then got moved.

9,870 after add-on.. very liberal table, got some chips with QQ and 77, in for $9.

20,070 after add on..I seem to be running well...

I think I played this weak...anyone probe bet this?

JJ in the SB, 3 limpers, I raise 6xBB, 1 limp-caller, low board but all clubs, pot-sized bet, club turn (Ace of clubs) and Im done with the hand.. down to 4.5K, next hand double up with AK against a flush draw, and the rollercoaster ride continues.

[Sam T.]

I think you have to bet that flop. No reason to put anyone on an ace at this point.

against 2 people I think check/fold is fine

More Jacks...sweet jebus...someone please find my testes and return them to me...I'm a weak little kitten:

I think if you bet the turn you would have had the hand.. pock J's are annoying.

[Sam T.]

Well that was pleasant.

Just tripled up with a set of tens vs. KK, 98s, and AQo.

Second in chips.

I think you are right - on all counts. Jacks seem to not be working for you tonight either.

im at table 161 and very card dead, still have a decent stack of about 14k but its dwindling fast.

You have 70BB. That's not dwindling. Just stay patient.

Make that 12k and you've described my situation.

You arent samyto are you?

[Melchiades]

Or 9k. I'm a donk.

ew, limped from late w/ JQo with a limper in front, 2 blinds and me and limper see flop. Comes Q23. Limper raises to 600, i reraise to 1600, he IMMEDIATLEY pushes all in for basically my stack. Forced to fold to his KQ (at least what i think he had). Down to 12K.

nope. sst062204

Just had two monster hands in a row that took me from 15K up to 53K...

I feel...better.

around 8500.. this last 30 mins has seemed like 2 hours, haven't had a hand in a while, gonna have to make some moves early in the 3rd hour

[Melchiades]

Being semi short really sin't much fun. You cant get involved with speculative hands, and cant push marginal hands.

[Sam T.]

72k at second break.

I wish I knew how to play with a big stack. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

10k at new break... i need help. These weak aces keep making me hopeful until i see the 2 or 3 that is the 2nd card.

[Melchiades]

9.4k. zzzZZZzzz

[Melchiades]

Nice. 26k of that was mine. UTG+1 had 66 and MP3 had KJs.

And he has AcJh. Sick.

done.. had AK at 14K.. stack too big to push so I just raise a limper (donk who has been limping every 2nd hand) to 3000..flop comes 10-J-A.. he bets big on the flop, I couldn't put him on a straight.. or at least I couldn't put him on a straight enough for me to fold, so I pushed the flop and he shows.. yep QK.

67,747 - cards are slowing down...20th in chips

[Sam T.]

I hate myself.

Hero has TT and raises two limpers. First limper (UTG) min re-raises. Hero calls. 7-high flop. UTG pushes.

Hero calls.

Do I even need to print the results?

How else do you play it though? How much of your stack were you calling off?

[Sam T.]

I dropped about 30k there. 1/3 of my stack. I mean he might as well have laid his cards face up.

Am I too afraid of the flush draw here? I feel I might have done a better job of chip extraction...

AK cant beat 77. 16k. Ugh.

[Sam T.]

The Poker Gods are punnishing me for being a numbskull. What do they call those cards with the letters on them? It's been so long since I've seen one. Well, it keeps me out of trouble.

True, true AK twice in row here...gave back mostof what I made on the 1st when I failed to improve on the second...

Trouble is right.

[Melchiades]

Then again AKs can beat KQs, 34k.

[Melchiades]

99 suck out on QQ. 60k. Hmmm.

62072 at break...cards on break...big stack to my left...boo hoo.

[Sam T.]

AA in EP---takes the blinds.

36k, but next into the BB.

[Sam T.]

Getting 7:1 on his completion, Hero folds 62o.

Flop 662.

Two other players go nuts on the flop getting all in with 88 and 99.

Next hand, hero pushes 88 into shorty with 99. Nada.

Next hand, hero pushes AT into 99. Nada.

I hate poker.

Cards are so dead, you could call it a card funeral...bleh
62K

Who else is still in?

[Melchiades]

Out in 139. Shortstacked push AJs over AA. Didn't really play well or got the cards at any stage of this thing.
