So sick, the 5th/6th place saga continues.....

5th for $3915.

The final table was going great, as I was slowly accumulating chips while short stacks were busto'd. The only showdown was AK vs AK for a chop, otherwise was picking up pots here and there without showdown. Until the 8k level where I 3bet the button with KK to the cutoff open, to have the sb cold 4bet with AKo. We get it in, blanks until the BG 'ace on the river' for over 500k chips. Fun, nh gg.

MaxValue: (-$713.38) - $280 + $3915*0.4 = $572.62

7th for $4267.

Pretty unreal but I guess I'm saving the end-game run-good/normal for the big ones. Also with a lot of money tied up in this online debacle, it's been a little bit of a rough couple days. I came into today and crushed to the final table, coming in as the chip leader with 850k at the 10k level. Then all went downhill, nothing went right, while pots went other directions until busting 7th. First Sunday off tomorrow in a while, 'the land of the free' haha ya right. Looks like a lot of us will be getting more of that live grind on........


MaxValue: $572.62 - $87.50 + ($4267*.2) = $1338.52

Out during the 400 level on a big pot with AA vs AKs, fair game. Got it all in on a Kxxr flop to have spades run off for a flush. That's poker.

MaxValue: $1251.02 - $87.50 = $1163.52

=) lol tx hood

2nd for $6130.

Satisfied with the result coming in as the short stack, though wanted the ring! Had a good shot but fell at the end. The final table went decent where I ninja'd the short stack as big stacks got into many confrontations during coin flip situations. We went to heads up during the 10k level with 350k to his ~900k, played a little while before getting it in crushed, nh gg.


MaxValue: $1163.52 - $87.50 + $6130*.2 = $2302.02

Caesar's Circuit Event #8 $560 6max, selling 40%.

Skipping the V main $1600 and playing today's circuit event as I'm sitting in second on the points race for the series. Winner gets entry into the televised 100 player max $1 million 'free roll.' 3 events left and one more FT may lock it in. It will also be a lot softer and shorter of a field as most will be at the Venetian.

Made day 2, 10 players left.

It was a better turnout than expected with 225 runners. Ended with 223k in chips to begin the 6k level at 2pm. 2.7m chips in play. I'll be missing event #9's 1k, going for the ring.

4th for $8982.

Everyone can continue to make fun of me for not closing. Whatcanido. My online stats r skewed towards top 3 with #1 being the top. I have numerous daily wins live in many casinos untracked. Yet have been failing to close live lately. Bracelets will count though, all is good.

O and crossing the fingers that my #1 point standing holds. Will win the main anyways =). Here is the site to track end results.

MaxValue: $1934.52 - $280 + $8982*.4 = $5247.32

Out, really gross.

A really good player who I won't name, but has made some pretty bad plays that I've seen the few times playing live with him. Last time in a 1k he flatted a raise pre, to raise squeeze 60% of his stack post flop and fold. Here he defends the K2s 3 way to a 51010s flop, he leads I raise with As10, he re's committed and I jam. Dud turn 4s river, 150bb pot no antes, nh wp. Got the rest in vs the other really good player at the table in a race bb vs button to get back in it. Bricks out gg gl.

MaxValue: $5247.32 - $1300 = $3947.32

My point lead was still strong through event #9 but many players have a shot with a good finish in the main. Will wait and see what happens......

Green Valley Ranch $1100 today, selling 50%@1.25. Playing 1b at 6pm.

Also sigh looks like I'm going to get beat out of casino champion for the seat. I had a big advantage but Adam Hui has been crushing and just made the top 7 of the main. If he finishes 2nd-7th or John Kulish finishes exactly 2nd I'm out. Rooting for Hui to win!!! 7 left.
