Nothing spectacular but was able to double through during the 1st hour, 1200 started...LONG way away from the cash.

For approximately 43.2 seconds.

Limping into the money is only slightly less worse, but I sat'd in so I can't complain too much [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yea, so did I. Still I hate calling down with a loser, when I knew better.

I know what you mean, I'm currently working on laying down KNOWN beat hands...getting sick of paying off with 2nd best.

And apparently we're the only 2 that played, people must really hate Paradise!

A lot of people played in the bigger MTT on Party at the same time.

I played in this, finishing 400th out of 1200. I won a seat in the Paradise one and I have troubble running Paradise and Party at the same time on my computer, plus I don't usually multitable these things.

I lost some chips at the beginning when my flopped set lost to a straight on the river. I limped UTG with TT. Villain had 98o in the BB for an openendeded on a QT7,r board. I bet each street, but not huge, getting multiple callers, and got beaten by a rivered 6.

I was down to 800 with 100/200 when I pushed from mid position with 65s and beat AQ. With 1500 and blinds 100/200/25, I pushed from CO with QTo and lost to A9o.

With Paradise's fast structure, you can quickly becaome short stacked. I kind of like that as I am a good short stack player. There are of course also a lot of advantages of a slow struvture for a decent player.
