Default *OFFICIAL* Monday night Party WSOP Satellite Thread

I got into this thing by playing the $9 sub-qualifier, won that, then won the $36 qualifier I got into from that. 45 minutes to go and I'm definitely starting to feel the butterflies - not nervous, just anxious, because I know what's on the line.

Anybody else in???

Add-on: Anybody got any tips for this one? Its the biggest tourney I've ever played, and again, the prize is huge. I know my game is good enough, I just wanted to hear tips from past experiences. Looks like we might get 8-10 seats tonight.

Get lucky!

And when the blinds get big, try to find the stacks that are scared to play because of what's at stake. EP and MP raises will get more respect than button or CO steals -- I would often get played back at from LP. That said, if you have a real hand in LP you can probably get some action.

Just play your game.. take a few seconds to think about every situation.

Default WSOP Satellite 1st Break

Currently at T1190, been RIDICULOUSLY cold-decked, and only 2 interesting hands came up, both involving AQ.

First one, very early in the tourney...

The converter's being stupid...

I pick up AQ [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in MP and open-raise 3x BB. Button and EP limper call. Flop comes A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. EP checks, I bet 100, Button raises me all-in for 1500 or so (more than I have).

Somehow I convinced myself a fold was in order. This was the last hand I played for a long, long time. I picked up KK once, but only stole the blinds with my 4xBB raise.

After letting the blinds and missed flops grind me down to just over 500 of the original starting 1000, I picked up AQo in LP, ended up going all-in vs. 99 and a little more than doubling up to my current spot. Its hard to win much when you're not getting cards, but I feel pretty good about my game thus far.

Wish me luck!

Add-on before I post, i pick up AK and double through again. 2380 stack now. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I'm just not well-known enough around here to get ANYBODY to read this am I? Oh well...

Nothing to report...second set went ridiculously slowly. Colddecked still, and I don't know if I'm on top of my game. I'm focusing, but its impossible to play Q4o and J3 suited every friggin' hand.

Current stack: 1580, getting to push-and-pray status. I've won both of my all-in confrontations thus far, here's hoping I win some more. 134 players left, 11 seats, 3 cash spots...
