Wednesday, January 31st, 2007Cards are killing me. Nothing at all since the break, I managed to maintain for a while with good resteals, but couldn’t make a pair in any pot I played. Two steals went bad and I made good folds, but I was down to T2100 with blinds at 100/200/25 and about to double. I open-shoved [...]
Six Machine
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007Yesterday and today I’m looking down and finding some random card and a 6. This is not a great run of cards. T3500 at the break, 100/200 blinds when we get back. We’re five-handed. There are only 20k chips at the table so it’ll be over within two hours. Win the table and I’m in [...]
Corral
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007Today is the $540 NLHE shootout. Fast structure – 30-minute levels – with T2000 chips to start and the usual blind progression (25/25, 25/50, 50/100, 75/150, 100/200, 100/200/25, 200/400/50). Not sure if they reset the blinds and stacks at later tables or if chips carry over and we go by the clock on the table [...]
For Posterity
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007720+ runners, they just condensed to 12 tables so I’m calling it 121st. Win the last pot and I’m above par, yadda yadda yadda. I feel like I’m one key pot away from being at a final table, and just haven’t won one yet.
I Went On A Run That Unfortunately Ended At The Bottom
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007T0. Finished at the 300/600/75 level. I didn’t “deserve” to go as deep as I did but then I don’t recall kicking anyone or anything on the way here so I didn’t deserve the crap cards I got either. Best hand all day: 99. With a dead 9 that everyone knew about because it was [...]
Biggest Donkey At The Table
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007T7900ish at the dinner break. Feeling better now. Also the guy to my left – who is very nice and obviously a solid player – thinks I’m a donkey. He may be right. Here’s the hand in question: Limped multiway pot, 100/200 blinds, I am SB with KTo. I complete, BB checks. Flop is ATx [...]
