It"s overrated...clueless is working fine for me

[AJDUK]

Rolled up AAA! Hey hey!

47th on 20k.

Yeah and if you played it like that in the old wild west youda been taken out and shot at least 3 times  

[thinsy147]

Nearly out now..... I think I play too many hands!

But how else am I gonna get lucky?

[thinsy147]

I"m now out of the 10-L.

But..... I lasted longer than ElkY and Puis Heinz so I must be good very lucky.

[josharp01]

I"m now out of the 10-L.

But..... I lasted longer than ElkY and Puis Heinz so I must be as lucky as normal

FYP

4th break, 4/233/380. Sitting on around 24k

Well done. Did you also take a 3rd place yesterday then?

Slow-played a big pair twice, when I knew the others had just matched their J or Q and just let them bet their whole stack street by street - and both times get lucky on 7th. Damn - down to 12k.

I"m usually the third person out!

[MintTrav]

Getting close to the cash now in the L.

196/483. 304 get paid (though you have to break 80th to get more than $100).

Gl John, I am guessing the cash bubble in the M will  break sometime around....Sunday!

[MintTrav]

This is mental - from 28k, lose 2 big hands and get down to 12k. Go for broke and back up to 20k. There must be an easier way.

Doing it the hard way is more fun.  

[MintTrav]

I"m in despair. The same player has hit on the end twice against me now. He keeps trying to give me lots of chips and then messing it up at the end. I lost 16k out of 21k on this hand:

[josharp01]

Been throroughly battered for the last hour Flush losing to higher flush, FH losing Down to around 16k and around 50/110  

[MintTrav]

Got them all back - back up to 26k from 5k. Then gave them all away. For the second time in an hour, I was dealt AA against rolled-up 444 and I made "Aces and" both times, so it looked like I was in good shape against what I assumed was his 2P. Made the cash, for what that was worth and decided to go for big or bust rather than edging away at it - selected the bust option - 269/2416.
