Sucked out on AA when I pushed with KT and caught my straight on the river. Sitting at t11000.

I turn away for one second and bugstud goes wacky.

I think he defended his SB with 87s...went all-in on mono-flop of T82 (not his suit) and got called by JJ.

Ouch. Tough one.

I was wacky before, just with real hands. I had only showed down KQ, AQ and JJ but no one would call AAAAAANY of my raises, so I stole blinds 4x a round and more or less caused a nuisance...but lost coinflips and decided to regain my stack like a tard.

Well...I would up giving my chips to Jurollo afterall.

6k left (blinds 500/1k) and I push UTG with KQo and he calls to my immediate left with 99 and gets an almost-double-up.
I'm out 24th.


Jurollo sitting decently again with 18.7k.
Avg stack is 16k.
21 players left now.

gl to J.

[Jurollo]

Thanks for the well wishes Bob, sorry to knock out a trout, hopefully I can take this down.

Sitting @ 23K, 3rd in chips, still 20 left... and for some ungodly reason we are hand for hand right now.. hey empire, the bubble is when it is heads up! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I've been playing some of their smaller MTT's lately.
They always do this.

Have played in a few that had exactly 20 players and would pay out for top 3...and it's hand-for-hand from the very start.
It's completely idiotic.

Same thing goes for their satellites.
2 tables of 10 players....only 1st place gets any prize....and it's hand-for-hand from the very beginning.

Pretty amusing earlier today when 3 or 4 players at the other table were having some sort of issues.
Our table played through the whole hand to the river...the other table was only half-way around on the pre-flop folding.


I'm fairly certain the other skins do this as well.

Jurollo is using my chips well with 17 players left.
26k looks like he is in 4th place.

The leader on his table also happens to be the only one who I have notes on meaning he must play 5/10 6-max (or 10/20).

He is V-41, R-20, agg-3.3 in 49 hands.
Interesting.

I don't think that was the same one who pushed with 63s UTG. That was a fairly bold move.
Jurollo had a desperation call in the BB with total garbage also (74 or something I think) and caught something to win the hand. He was just 2 or 3x the BB at that point.
Really weird one.

but i think that guy got knocked out and the chip-leader who took his seat with the V41, R20 stats is a different player.


The chip-leader just got AA and knocked out another player to move to 51k.
I guess the wilder players stand a pretty good chance to make a run.


Blinds are moving up fairly fast.
About to go from 750/1500 to 1000/2000.
Jurollo now has 24k and it still amongst the leaders. With 16 players left there are a lot of short-stacks just barely hanging-on.

[Jurollo]

Let's clarify... I was sb for 400, with 74 suited, UTG raised to 3200, folded around and I had like T1300 left and pushed, thinking this was as big a pot as I could get and I was suited and could maybe luck out, UTG flips over 63s, haha.

[Jurollo]

14 left... I have 29K, avg is around 21K, chip lead is 51K. I feel like I am in good shape talent wise to the rest of my table at least though.

[MicroBob]

You caught a 4 as I recall. Nice hand!!


As noted...I had a similar garbage-win earlier in the tourney from the button (52o I think...don't feel like looking back at the previous posts).
