Whew, survived two nervous pushes to hold water @ 2300...

- 1 loose limper, I move in with ATo on the button, he folds
- UTG w/ AJo, I push and take down the blinds

By a thread... 2183, have to push soooooooooon

[modaddy]

I'm out... A7o in the SB. Short stack just covering me (around 5 BB) UTG limps. I think he's possibly got a small pp or suited connector and decide I have enough fold equity to move in -- he makes a nice call with AJ.

GL, man!

GG.

Pushed with A3s and picked up the blinds... one more orbit, need to find a hand.

[jslag]

Yes oh yes

Nearly triple up with QQ in the BB! 6766

[modaddy]

Saved by the ladies.... nice triple, just in the nick of time!

5721. Not sure if this was a dumb call or not, but I figured I had live cards and there was 400 in dead money in the pot.

Villain goes all-in for 1890. Folded to me in the BB, I have 87o. The blinds are 400/800. It's something like 1085 more to me.

Easy call or easy fold? I called and lost, but had 10 outs on the flop.

At 6921 now

I'm a big fan of calls like this when you have chips to spare and are reasonably certain you have 2 live cards. There's way too much overlay to ignore... unlucky. Keep going, field's getting trim!

Made the money, but lost most of my chips when I called an all-in with AJs in the BB, guy had 77 and hit a 7 on the flop.

Going all-in right now with A8o... 2718 chips, blinds 600/1200. And... got the blinds.

4518, 30 players left. Need to double a couple times for any sort of playable stack.

Made the top 20 for another prize increase... but I have less than the BB -- 1506. Need a miracle to make this final table now.
