Second break
t2267 (average is t4112). Doubled up with 55 all-in against AQ. Took me to almost t3000. Later, I had AJ in the SB, folded to me, and I raised the BB (150) to 500 (meant to put in 400, but had a typo). BB came back at me strong and I laid my AJ down. He shows AK. That typo cost me t100 :/.
AKs first hand after the break. UTG, I push. Folded around. After the blinds are stolen back from me, I'm back to t2267. On the button, I push KJ, called by the SB with 99, and I hit a QJK flop. I'm now at t4734. -Z -Z

WebGuySteve..that was a tough beat, but I wonder if just folding preflop may be the best play there. I hate to fold the BB to a min raise by the SB, but I also hate playing a hand like Q2 there even more. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, that's what I meant to say. -Z

MrX [/ QUOTE ] Well, if the SB is min raising me, I know he won't flop a pair more often than not, so I can probably get him off of the pot with a raise like I did on the flop, and since he did pair, it didn't work. Though, I don't understand his reraise, and with my flush draw I had to call that. Then I hit the Q and the story pretty much ends there. I was thinking about folding it preflop, but I felt I could outplay him after the flop, so I took my shot.

My 44 runs into 99, he gets a set to pour salt into the wound. I'm done. When my $$ runs out on Party, I dont think I'll bother to reload. Pstars so nice~ Nick [/ QUOTE ] Why do you prefer PS over Party? Is it just the format (and certainly with 1500 chips tonight's event had a good format) or is there more to it? How do the players match up? I've never played on PS but am giving some thought to at least playing occasionally over there.

Third Break
Somehow climbed up to t16K at my peak. Not sure how it happened. I was low stack for a while, and played aggressively with any decent ace or pair, and managed to steal and win coinflips. Then got a QQ that held up pretty well. Came back over a raise on my blinds with AKs, and he folded...
After getting to 16K, I slowed down for a while, no steal attempts or anything... got blinded down to 14.9K or so... on the button, it was folded to me with 9-5o. I went a head and tried to steal with a $1000 bet at the $400 blind. He was a shortstack, went in the tank, and pushed for $1950. Well, it was only $950 back to me with a $3500 pot, so I called. His Ax held up, though. So I'm down to t13K. Average stack is... t8900. -Z
