Home time time for the NLHE freeroll, looking forward to donking it up though odds of cashing in one of these are minuscule.
I've also played 2 Step 1's today and earned myself 1 Step 2 ticket.
Couple hands....
First hand, pretty standard race. This busted me out of first Step 1.

Second hand... This shows the level of play rampant in these Steps tournies (at least early on). I'm happy to say that this guy did bust out in 5th while I eased my way into the top 3. For further amusement, notice the UTG limp-folding to a standard open behind him. I feel as though this is probably a leak, though so many people will opt to just overlimp the pot it's a bit ridiculous.
