[Garland]

[B1GF1SHY]

I may actually play in this one this week. Wish me luck, I'll need it!

[Matt24]

yes, down the final 62 in a $30 tourney on Party, only 530 were in though, but im in around 10th.

I'm a player, but crippled early... this is why you don't play AJo from EP...

(Apologies for the lack of conversion...bison was having problems with this hand for some reason)

That's a bad beat story, not a compelling reason not to play AJ from EP

[davidross]

Funny you post this because AJ just crippled my AK. He limped with AJ and I raised with AKs, got 2 callers. Flop AJ2 all one suit. He pushed, I called and i'm down to 180 early.

As I posted this i doubled with qq, THEN GOT KNOCKED OUT ON A FLUSH DRAW THAT GOT THERE.

[jslag]

1225 1st break

[Garland]

1833. I got a straight flush and the nut flush which I extracted for huge amounts in first hour. This was balanced somewhat when I pushed a "shortish" stack of 700 all-in with QQ. He had KK.

Some big hands here. No complaints so far.
