Break 1

2745 chips vs 3606 Average

Very tough first hour ... on a tough table ...

First guy out ... on my table ...

His AA raise flat called ... flop Qxx ... all the chips in ... vs QQ

"Good" to see "proper" players making the same "mistakes?" as me!

His replacement - $307k in prizes this year on Stars but a -11% ROI ...

559 players - 466 left - 63 paid ...

Break 2

So card dead for most of the session ...

Then AT become the flush draw vs the flat calling AQ - who has hit top pair ... flush on the river ...

Then moved table - AA straight away - all fold ... mmm

Then player to my left looks like he has gone on TILT ... but I have to fold my 77 to his re-raise ... moment later I raise with JJ and he flat ... flop J98 ... all the money in vs KK ... JJJ holds ...

7980 chips versus 6525 average - 257 left - 63 paid ... no sussed the new table yet ...

Break 3

Thin on cards 85th of 131 left - 63 paid.

8500 chips vs 12800 Average

Mega table at sit down with

1$ickDisea$e + $216k on Stars for 2009
Icallseat3 +$299k for the same period!

In the end they clashed with Icallseat3 winning AA vs 33 - both spiked.

20 min levels much better than 15 in terms of building less shove pressure.

That said only 21 BBs and the antes are in play ...

Cards please ...

Just "convention" raises of about 2.2 * BB might get through as people don"t want to mix it with marginal hands ...

Timing crucial ... I nearly re-pushed there ... with A6 ... would have run into AK and 88 ... life 1

Break 4

51st of 64 with 63 paid ... LOL

11,700 chips vs 26,200 average ... need to double up ...

Largely card dead ... got shoves through with A-rag ... and dodged some bullets ...

KQs call of A8s (very short stack) rewarded with a flopped straight ...

Two people going to have 3BBs ... I have just under 12.

Could do with a quick bubble!
