Blinds 25/50, I get QQ in the cutoff.

LP opens to 100. I make it 450 (I have 1100 to start the hand). He calls (he had 1900 to start). We go heads up. Flop J-9-5 rainbow. He bets out 200, I raise all-in for 450 more, he calls w/ K9s, turn is a King and I'm out.

Grrr.

Good luck.

Do most people buy-in or qualify through a satelite?

[Matt24]

Ive been qualifying. The most it has cost me to get in a tourney the last 2 weeks is $44, which doesnt mean it always takes me under 2 trys, , but the other times I have 2nds mixed in which are a little profit.

I qualify as well. Never costs me more than 2 or 3 entries.

And I'm done with tonight. Just a horrible table. I think having the PPM IV going on really changed this one.

4 limpers and I have AK on the button and raise it to T300 (blinds at T50) - two callers. I miss on the flop but it's ragged and checked around. I bet the turn feeling pretty confident I have the best hand and I get one caller on a gut shot. River doesn't make the straight but pairs him. He says that "he wanted to go to bed". Right, he'd been a fish all night and got lucky. Whatever. It happens.

Get out the straw and start sucking. I play my 2nd hand of the tourney, and get it allin with TT, called by KK, and a T on the turn starts the fun.

Up to 1910.

I'm done. Pushed into a couple limpers with A9, and a sneaky limper with QQ called me, and away I go. Good luck everyone.

I almost always buyin to whatever tourny i play, that being said however, I also usually have a good shot of reaching a high payout. I dont like spending time in PP sng qualifiers but thats just me.

I raise JJ from SB, BB goes all in. I call, he has K4??? FLops a 4 and rivers another, I'm down to 240.

I push in with KT after 4 limpers, called by AK, flop a straight, then watch a T river to give him a higher straight. I hate poker.

Lost half my chips in the $100 NL too, below average now with 88 left, 50 get paid. Keep raising good hands and getting re-raised and have to lay it down.
