   • I got eliminated now... 45th out of 224 (relatively few ppl). It's a really good tournament, wow... I think I played well but I made two mistakes, sort of:

     1) I had about 16k with the blinds 400/800/75 and this crazy guy who had like 40k raises to 2.4k on the button. I have AJ of clubs. I called. Flop was low and all hearts. I think I should've folded that pre-flop. No position and even if I hit an ace I might be beat. I think it was a bad call and it took me down to 13k and some change and I never recovered.

     2) Blinds are 600/1200/100, I have 10k and I get KQo. The big blind is a rookie and looks anxious but I push anyway. He has QQ. Case queen comes on the flop. I should've known that was a bad spot for me, well I kinda knew it and I also had like 6 more hands to push but I couldn't contain myself. Blah, eliminated

     It was fun though

   • Sorry to hear about the TT vs AK cooler. Ugh :/

     I probably agree on the fold. You are out of position against the guy who can stack you. If you hit an ace - ugh. If you hit a jack - maybe ugh. If you miss - double ugh. 16k there puts you at an M of 8, which means you need to be more aggressive than limp-calling or calling from the blind. In fact, if he opened the pot from the button, you might want to just ship it all in right there. At least you get to see 5 cards. I hate calling and I really hate being out of position. For all of you who read this, I'm going to use the fact that you think you know this about me to my advantage, so beware!

     Tought spot with the KQ. Great read... next time follow your gut :)

   • I was on a small site called Bugsy's Club and they went belly up. I had over 17k there. PokerStars bought up all the Bugsy accounts and the balances were transferred. Only issue is that Stars is making us clear our money in order to withdraw it. They release the balance $500 at a time at least. I need a total of 87k VPPs to clear it all. So far I have just over 20k. It takes a TON of hands to make it happen. So I figured I would try my hand at 20 tabling the 1/2 full ring. It's been good so far. I did 18 table the 2/4 full ring one day and it went great, but the tables were dying off a lot and it didn't help me clear my VPPs much faster. So I figure I might as well stick to the 1/2s if I am going to be playing that many tables anyways. I just want my monies! Making profit is nice too. :)

   • Oh well! I played again yesterday and lasted only 4 hours. I'm leaving Vegas +$70 thanks to two long successful cash game sessions but I didn't enjoy any of the poker, I don't know, it was just one of those weeks where nothing seems to go right.

     Yesterday, well I raised or called a lot of preflop raises with AK or AQs but at least 3 more ppl would call and I'd hit nothing and somebody would fire away before me. Or on two ocassions I raised with KK and QQ with one girl calling me and she'd flop a set with a low pair with the exact same bet pattern and I'd fold to her and she'd be like "why do you fold" lol she showed me the set both times (8s and 9s) ugh. There was this crazy hand with blinds 50/100 wow...

     I had AK of hearts and I raised to 350. Four people call. The flop is J107 two spades. First guy bets around 1.5k, second guy calls and the third guy raises all-in with about 8k. Ummm ok AK no good. The first guy calls and the second guy puts the first guy all-in (he had about 2k more). Omg???

     First guy: J10
     Second guy: JJ
     Third guy:89

     Wow! Turn was a blank and river was another 10. So the second guy got a huge pot eliminating two and we were on the second blind level.

     I went down to ~9k with blinds at 200/400/ante i forget and on the button get AJ lol again, of spades. This other girl raises to 925 and I'm sick of folding everything so I decide to call this and play it aggressive because she had like 5k in chips idk why she raised that (she had pocket 5s). But.. SB and BB both call. The flop is . Blinds check, she checks, I bet 2.5k which leaves me with ~5.5k behind and the small blind goes all-in, he covers me. BB folds, she thinks forever and folds, and I can't let the hand go. He shows . Sigh. Turn's a blank and river is another 8 lol. Ugh!!!

     I felt really bad like nothing was working. oh well... next time

    • Sucks, Teresa. At least you were ahead... Seems like people were calling stations for ya. That's what it was like in the early stages when I was there last time. Some crazy stuff... One guy called my flop bet of 600 because he had pocket sixes (yeah, there were overcards and I had one of them). He hit the 6 on the turn and doubled up against me :/
