Monday, January 29th, 2007Four players busted within ten minutes and we’ve busted a few more since so there are some chips on the table now. Looks like only a third of the field is gone (we had 240some entrants, 20 tables left) so there have to be scads of short stacks out there. Split kings held up to [...]
I Brought My Razz Game To A Stud Fight
Monday, January 29th, 2007T1800, about to be 25 ante, 50 bring in, 150-300 limit. No cards at all. Mostly I’ve been getting the second-lowest card at the table, no suits, no connection, no pairs. At least I’m not bringing it in! Excuse me while I go eat my sweet, sweet words.
A Game Of Angry Men
Monday, January 29th, 2007My table is entertaining, at least if you like Punch & Judy shows. We called a floor over at least six times already for no good reason. Guy in the 7 is a talented trash-talker and obviously a veteran angle-shooter, and put the 8 on super-mega tilt for a while. T2200 at the break (we [...]
Ugly Sofa Uber Alles And More

Thanks for all the suggestions! Today is a Stud day. I’d planned to curl up with the relevant parts of Super/System last night, only to realize [...]
Shopping Of The Non-Window Variety
Monday, January 29th, 2007Sunday is the Crazy Rebuy at Commerce, with unlimited $300 rebuys for the first couple-three levels, and since this is the sort of problem I generally don’t like to throw money at, I took the day to stay home with Kim instead. Well, to be with her – we didn’t stay home, and probably we [...]
I May Suck Slightly Less Than I Thought
Monday, January 29th, 2007Ran the numbers on my O8 bustout hand and realized, unpleasantly, that it was probably the best series of bets I made in the whole tournament. Omaha is weird. 300/600 blinds, three or four players limp, I complete from the SB with 2346 (oversuited in clubs). Flop comes Ad 5h Kc, I check, UTG bets, [...]
