7:11 -- Out 2555th. 10 10 no good against A 10. Of course.

Well, I now know the play is just as atrocious here as it is everywhere else (including my own -- I don't have the game I think I do), and that I can't win a race or even a 70/30 when it counts. Far less satisfying than I hoped.


6:40 -- I survive my first all-in confrontation of many and have 3300 at the break.

TOO MUCH CALLING


6:30 -- I'm a moron. I CB into the limp-caller, who of course has a weak Ace and can re-pop me. Down to less than starting stack. I am a moron.



6:20 -- kind of boring right now. Everyone has decided to play back now. Steals are at 50%, and still no good cards. I could use a big pair to get some chips flowing my way. 4300.



5:46 -- CRAP. Just got milked in a hand I should not have been in. Again, I need to stop bluffing into idiots who "value bet" and "value call" with Ace high.



5:35 -- 5300 at the break. Still waiting for my first premium hand.

Pots won at showdown - 3 of 5 (60%)

I have one guy on my right who is relatively short but feels it is his civic duty to call with marginal hands on the river "just to see". I would figure Negraneu would have better things to do today, but maybe not.

5:22 -- 5600, had to fold a couple of flops.



5:08 -- 6100, I love my numbers so far.

4:57 -- 5700 -- Flush over flush. Thank God he was a LAG so I could call the turn bet.




4:43 -- 3800 -- check the turn with top pair next time -- he's slowplaying you!



4:37 -- already at 4500. Gavin is right when he says you just need to flop the nuts.



4:33 -- TWO HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR SEATS. Up to 3200 already on what I thought was a river bluff but he may have had AK.



4:29 -- I should remember my two rules: 1. I can't win a race. Ever. 2. If shortstacked, my AK will run into AA. Always.

Out of the FTP sat in 35th. 18 pay. GL to all those playing in that one.



4:15 -- whoops, raised and pushed a flush draw on the flop into the guy who already had the flush. Fortunately I double up on the next hand -- 7500.



4:12 -- A4 pushes into my AQ -- 9k+, should be able to coast from here pretty well.



4:07 Two straight pushes over a small raise fail to get called. up to 5300.



4:03 -- PS might hit 7k seats. WOW.



3:54 -- doubled up in sat (Jacks versus AK) -- need two more doubleups to make it in. No overlay in this one either, good job to both sites.



3:45 -- I hate having a good read. In the FTP sat, I call a push from a shortie knowing he's just trying to get the limps and blinds. KQo>A7s. Still have chips, but the blinds are catching up. Push or fold.


3:30 -- Wow. Over 2k seats filled in 24 hours. No overlay here. 1 in 31.5 it is. Impressive how PS manages to get their stuff together and fill up. They may get to 200 seats in the next hour.

Also, my plan has changed slightly. I had a good run at PLO and am in a turbo to the FTP tourney as well. Let's see how we do.
