I'm also going to play Friday.

I've had one good night and one bad one at the 25-50 so I'm not sure if I'm still up for it. But I'll be there somewhere from around 5 till whenever. Say hello to the old white guy in the grey beard if you spot me. You?

I played in the 25 the first two nights, not since. Perhaps I'll see you tonight. Good luck! (Except against me, of course ...)

I hope to be on Sunday. I took my first shot at 10/20 on Thursday. Was down $110 in 30 minutes at a ridiculous table. Couldn't take the variance so moved down to 5/10, ran hotter than god, and then moved back up to 10/20. Did okay but will likely sit at 5/10 to finish my run at this years Ex.

I agree with your assessment from last year, the fish have been mostly eaten leaving hungry Great White's to roam...

Yeah, I played last night and there were often no lists, so the player pool is clearly petering out. I mentioned that to one of the dealers, who said that the best action is always in the first two weeks.

Having played 12+ hours, right through the night (most of it at a good but high variance 15-30 table), I'm quite tired today and think I'll wait till next year for any further Ex-action. Good luck on Sunday.

Yeah, he did well in his two previous outings at those stakes this week. I infer from your question that he didn't impress you?

I was at a 15-30 table which had some loose players until around 2 a.m., but, as with all such games, that meant a lot of variance. I was, unfortunately, at the wrong end of an evening-long sine wave when that table broke. I went over to the 20-40 that was next to the 25-50 for a while after that but it was short and very tight and I packed it in at 4. Were you still at the 25-50 then? There were still 6-7 players.

I likely won't bother going until a few people report back that there is a huge improvement from last year, but these NL freeze outs are definitely a step in the right direction
