This is a replay of a heads up shoot out match. Took a little longer then wanted to defeat the first player but he kept doubling back on me. The final was a little easier because while playing the first game I was watching the other table gathering notes. › Continue reading

90 Player SnG Replay (2)

This is another SnG I was playing. Little more active then the other game but not much as this is still the same level of poker. As with 90 Player SnG Replay 1 I am looking for places to pick up chips and steal pots. I would have won this game if not for my flopped nut flush didn’t get rivered. I fought back hard actually from that point and kept composure. › Continue reading

Went on to Full Tilt and looked around for a bit as I was rested from my nap earlier in the day trying to find a decent game to get into, there was plenty but I opted for a 200 FTPoint satellite to the $50,000 next weekend. I didn’t have anything on my schedule so trying to fill-er-up.
It had late registration open and a number of players had already been railed, when I got in there was 32 remaining with 10 gone. The tournament finished with 51 entrants and top 10 got an entry and 11th got there 200 points back. › Continue reading

$3.30 buy-in, R/A – Add-on for 2000 chips
I added on at start of this game to give myself some fold chips and glad I did as these players that were at my starting table were horrible. The amount of rebuys they made so early was to be expected because of the hands they were raising then calling all-ins with. › Continue reading
