I know that's what happens here.

Like there's usually a 2/5 1-2x a week, and a 5-10 1x a week.
But those games go for 10 days when HPT/WSOP in town

I am registering for event #1 tonight and I will ask the poker room how popular 2/5 and 5/10 were the last time.

You are in the mirror opposite seat as I am in seat four at my table. I am someone who observes intently so my favorite seats are three and eight followed by four and seven.

I did better than the week before, but I shouldn't have played as around 10:30, I started feeling physically weak. I got bounced shortly before the second break holding A2s against KJs. I had another bullet in my pocket, used it, and got bounced holding pocket 9s against KJs.

I felt pretty good about my play on the very last hand.

My plan was to limp with my pockets in hopes someone would raise, I would shove, and then get called by a worse hand. That is exactly what happened. I just didn't like the end result.

I would have liked more starting chips and shorter levels.

The thing is you have got to love the action. Just hate the result.

On my second table, I got to play with Jason Brin who recently won the main event at WPT Choctaw.

I was thinking about playing event #9, but I am going to save the money and play the deep stack tourney at Harrahs on Saturday that week.

Yeah I think I will play event #9 on Sunday. After Saturday, I have a newfound respect for people that grind live MTT's for a living. It's takes a lot out of you for sure, but is fun nonetheless.

I can't believe ten years ago I used to work a full day, get off, drive to a bar, play poker until around 1am, drive home, and get up in time to make it to work. And I did it every weekday. Plus I played Saturday and Sunday, but didn't have to work.

If you want a good structure, I'd say play Harrahs. If you want a larger field, play HPT.

Only the main event will be going on Saturday at Ameristar so Harrahs should be back to normal I would think. I wonder how many runners Harrahs will get saturday?
