I'm at 515, David has 800.
Looks like we're both crawling our way to the break.

Anyone getting chips? I'm card dry...got QQ once, one caller ahead of me, raised 3bb, all fold [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

David just doubled-up to 1600 against the big-stack's QQ (i think). Was tempted to see a flop with 77 on that one but it was already raised and cold-called....I folded, and then David pushed all-in....and I'm glad I saved my 60 chips

Right after that I was moved to another table (or maybe our whole table broke up...don't knpw).

I'm still at 515.

[TheTimeIsUp]

Just lost a large chunk of my stack to a very weakly played 2 pair, of course, my 2 pair was smaller. At 330.

[MicroBob]

My 88 busts a smaller stack's A2o so I'm up to 920.

THe table broke.

It's pretty cool, but I knew that guy had K's or Q's so I just pushed with my AA, figured it would look fishy. It worked. I have 1690 going into the first break.

[TheTimeIsUp]

Out. Ran into AA.

I'm catching up to you David.
I'm at 1575, David is at 185 (thankfully on a different table).


KTo in BB with 3 other limpers.
Flop T92 with 2 spades. Pot is 200, I bet 300 and get called by EP. Uh-oh.
Turn is Q....I check, he bets small and I call.
River is K for 2-pair.....I push my final 200 and pray he doesn't have a J (for the straight).

He calls with AA and I take it.
He also said some cuss-word something or other about the river.
Nice try dude....that pot was yours whenever you wanted it.


My AA got busted by 66 earlier....and now my KT busts AA.
Everyone else's AA seems to be holding up okay though (including David's).

[ThrillFactor]

with my AA!!

I'm at 4K

[davidross]

Raised AQ in EP, called in one spot. FLop A54 two hearts. I check, he bets 2000 and I raise to 800. He thinks and pushes. I have 800 left and call. He has 55 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
