Tuesday, January 30th, 2007Playing from behind doesn’t work when you fail to catch up. I laid down TPGK early and feel okay about it though I wish I’d gotten away from it on the flop. I missed every flop for a while until I defended my blind with Tc8c, flopped a flush draw and pushed the turn when [...]
Missed It By That Much
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007Out in 17th, just before a money bump and the awarding of all-around player points – doh! For my troubles I got $435, bottom money (only 24 places paid and 24th-17th all got basically a pat on the head and a pittance). Big stack lucksacks were my Waterloo. NLHE tomorrow. Finally, a game I’m actually [...]
Cash
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007But I’m short, made a semi-bad play on the bubble. Big pot, I had a lot of draws but was dead on 5th, folded on 6th. So that kinda sucked. Just shy of T12k with 200 antes, 500 bringin, 1500-3000 limit. Gonna need help fast.
Inching
Tuesday, January 30th, 20074th break, 1k/2k limit when we get back. I have T15k. 5 tables left so not a whole lot of people left to bust before the money. I was briefly tempted to go into Don’t Do Anything Stupid Mode, but I gotta remember I’m playing for the win. Bottom money is like $100 profit and [...]
Hanging
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007T17000ish at the second color-up. 100 ante, 300 bring-in, 800-1600 blinds. Six tables left so about 44 players, 28 places pay. Can the kid break the slump?
Catching Up
Monday, January 29th, 2007T9600 at the third break. Caught some cards and finally got to steal some antes. Bustouts are fast and fierce now – when we come back it’s 75 ante, 200 bringin, 600-1200 limit. One big pot away from elimination, but so is everyone else. Nine tables left, four tables pay.
