Just lost a big pot, 4 people in the pot before me with a min-raise. I'm in the BB with A8s so I complete. Flop comes A 8h 3h I donk, everyone folds but the SB. I bet 1,200 into 2,200 on the turn (blank) and SB c/c (. River comes 6h and he donks for like 1/5 pot, I pay him off and see the flush. Down to 4.4K. Shouldn't of paid him off but lol pot odds.

well, I won 5 BI this morning in 79 hands, so I have more $ than I had at the start of the day and feel lucky!

Im at 330k chips (event 2) which is nice. just doubled with KK vs an UTG open shovers AJo. Was sweating I can tell you

So whats that? about $100 worth of chips? Im pretty pleased with my $20 investment now!

edit; down to 300k - blinds 5000/10000 and ante 1500 ! still dbl avg stack

Out of event 2. Called 2 all-ins (small stack open and big stack iso-ing) with JJ. vs AT and KQ. K hit on turn. Unlucky for me, KQ was the big stack. Only had M=5, so had to do something. Was really hoping one had a smaller pair or they had shared cards. Coming up against 4 live overs was the 2nd worst thing that could have happened. Ah well.

Knocked out of event 3 :/ Never really picked anything up and the table got quite aggressive PF so I kept having to fold my marginal hands, this TAG opens from MP and I'm in BB with K9o - most people had been raising quite big with their bigger hands and this was just a little bit bigger than a min-raise so I shoved my final 4K over him and he thought for a bit and called with AQo. Maybe I could of waited for a better spot but I had 20BB so I needed to start being aggressive.

Oh well, got to wait for event 6 in 2 hours now!

Aaaargh! Just came home to play event 5, only to find out it started 45 minutes ago! Perhaps I should set the client to display my local time so that I don't make this mistake again. Seems I can still register late and get 5000 chips when the average is 7000. Do you think it's worht it?

Edit: Registered. 11400 chips now!

Was nice! About ten hands in I'm dealt AA in CO. Make a standard raise and BB shoves A7o. Won another small pot also before that, but unfortunately didn't have quite enough to knock out BB and get the bounty. I think he was left with about 1000 after I doubled up. Second in chips at my table now.

I got into shoving mode pretty soon. After that AA hand I picked up the blinds and antes once minraising with T9s on the button. The two people on my left were very nitty. Otherwise I didn't get any playable hands at all. There was hardly any hand were nobody would have been ai pre and I was just blinded away while I folded my junk. Interestingly it seemed every single all in was won by the big stack, no matter what the odds were before the board was dealt out. Finally with <10bb left I got it in with A9 vs 77 and Jx (can't find my hand histories

). Jx had me covered, 77 didn't. Flop J, turn A, river J.
