Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

I'm in, table 286

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

I'm in too, no LL. Table 191, srcarrel.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

In via satelite...Bunch of TAGs at my table I can see already.

Table 346

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

out 3297th. i believe that is the highest number for an mtt finish i have ever managed. im incredible. holla

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

Small question.

BB with 7h9d, 5 limpers, I check. Table is pretty standard so far. SB is a sat. donk, the rest havn't done anything unusual. Lots of unraised pots.

Flop comes 9h6h5x. I lead and insta-fold to a raise. Standard? Should I save my money here and check/fold? I'm not really into going to war with top pair weak kicker.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

yea pretty standard.. some like to check to see the action first before committing any chips, some like to lead. (in those family pot top pair weak kicker situations) I think either play is fine, and of course after the raise it's an easy fold.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

Your line is fine. Your lead bet is correct. You were hoping to a)pick up the pot or b)find out if your hand was good. You got b) which is fine.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

Table 107. I see a stack of chips I want intensely.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

table 208. i've already stacked one bitch.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

253, aces busted by a T3o, limited the damage however.

table is very tight.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

I just donked off 1000 chips and folded to a push. Yay me.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

Got it back. No worries. The rollercoaster has began.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

grragggh, got up to 4.5k without a single showdown, then QQ UTG runs into short-stacks KK with tons of dead money in the pot

3.3k

edit: of course, just as i say this, i double up when someone decides to bluff me his stack

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

2640 at break. I'm busting ass just to stay at this level, as I'm getting no service.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

I suck and stuff. 2569 at the break. Up to 5k twice and donked it away (terrible call with AQ against AK).

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

2775

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

1k at break - had a nicer stack until JJ ran into the monster that is ace two off

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

3385t at break,

spewed off 1500t on whiffed AKs in late position and a two pair vs two pair min betting shennanigans.

2+2 doing well, lol. We're all just trying to get to the red zone, right?

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

Moved to table 164, about 4k at the break, was up
over 5k at one point but decided it would be a
good thing to spew half my stack in order to make
the tourney "more interesting"

How's everyone else doing?

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

6570 at break

colsons doing well

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

Grrrr,

T1060 at the break. Notable losses include a guy making tiny probe bets w/an A high flop that I called down w/JJ, and winning no chips w/AK PF raise and a continuation bet.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

3k at break

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

2314th. Lasted until just after break. Took down exactly three pots. Sometimes it's just not fun.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

definitely sucked out hard.

Re: PS 500k (Nov. 20)
 

build to 3.8k, blinds get to 100/200. EP limper who hasn't done anything special limps, I make it 700 with AKs, folded back to him and he pushes me all in, it's 2.7k more?

I gotta call, so I did and he shows TT, which is pretty typical of scared players going at it above their bankroll, too afraid to play postflop and see an overcard hit oop.

Flop comes T72 tho and unfortunately im gone.

LOL thanks for the shout out Exit, as this pot got me off of the respirator. Still somewhat desperate w/T2580 though.

Well, I'm out. New lesson learned, don't
try and push someone out of a pot when
they have AA. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] good luck all.

Re: luckbox
 

I'm stuck at 3.5-4k and colson just moved directly to my left. This is so much fun.

Re: luckbox
 

So much for being alive.

55 &lt; A2, then AK &lt; QQ and JJ, and I'm out in 1474.

Rough tourney, no cards to speak of.
