Watching (while I get ready for bed)
Wait, what kind of luck did you want? I only bring the bad kind. |

I already got the bad luck out of my system, when my KK lost to 44 with a river 4 taking down a 40000 pot about 20 minutes ago. But I perservere

Nobody wants to take on my QQ, take down the blinds and antes (which is no small feat)

Down to the final 5 tables, I'm currently sitting at 27 of 43, with about 33k chips, and 2000/4000 blinds, 200 antes.

AK takes down the blinds. I might be overbetting my cards (3x to 4x) at this blind level, I can't get any action. Not much experience at these high blind levels.

Congrats on making the next pay level. Hopefully you'll get several more so the money is meaningful. It's off to bed for me. Good luck.

Another round with no paint or anything resembling connectors, and I eventually had to go all-in with my last 13000 with K6, dominated by KJ and no help coming my way. Finished 31/1860 and taking down $8.93. Not much profit for 4.5 hours of playing, but at least I got to the cusp and could see the bigger awards. Just nothing decent down the stretch. I think the turning point was when I was in the middle of the pack, pushing too hard preflow with my QQ, KK, and AK and only taking blinds each time. Had I been able to get some chips on at least one of those, I think I would have been in a much better position to get to the final 2 tables. Definitely time to refine my large-blinds play.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.
Made the final table. First hand...... KK, doubled up against a flush draw. Scary, but freakin' awesome. 152k chips, about to hit the break, when we come back it will be 4k/8k 400 ante. Booooooo. Last hand before break, I pick up AJs on the button, raise it up, BB goes all in for 80k, i call, he shows KQ and flops two pair, and no 10 to finish my straight. Big hit. Go into the break with 52k, 9th out of 9. Gotta hold on, move up a spot or two and pick a good spot to re-double.

And the dream is over.
Nothing resembling a playable hand for quite a while, finally all in with QJs vs. pocket 7's, he flopped a set and it was all over. 8th place, pulled down $67.45. All in all, I'm happy. Wish I would have won the race right at the last break, that would have put me into the top 2. But definitely something to build on.

Unsolicited advice:
Look for spots to move allin when you're short instead of cards. If you've noticed someone who's been folding frequently out of the blinds, raise/push whenever they're the big blind and it's unopened to you. Gotta pick up blinds to keep your stack up when you're card dead. Congrats on the good finishes! |
