Three hands from last night’s Party $40K guaranteed. All three hands were near the bubble (220 positions paid). Also, I was taking care of my 8-month old son, who woke up in the middle of the night, so no reads.

Hand #1: About 300 people left

I thought I had enough chips to make a serious dent in the 2 limpers’ stack, to the point that they might not make the bubble. So I decided to try to steal the pot. My stack is clearly below average.

Hand #2: About 250 people left

It looked like I was going to make the money, so I decided to take a chance with this hand and bluff my way to the pot. I planned to fold if the Villian re-raised me all-in. Instead, the bastard re-raised me only 1200 chips, so I decided to call his raise and push the flop if I liked it. Otherwise, I was going to check/fold. My stack was about 1000 chips below average.

Hand #3: About 230 people left

10 people to the money. I had the big blind covered, so I expected him to fold. I would have folded if any of the larger stacks between me and the big blind had challenged me.
