Yes, and I did have a super low threshold. I whiffed on a flush draw trying to steal the blinds, and had 5 hands to do something with 1725 chips. I don't remember what they were but the first three were either garbage or already opened, and my last two were probably worse than 76o.

I have no idea what is right because I'm in the spot once a year. I think the part of thing that you missed was the triple up here. Yeah it's probably close to the same awful spot but st least it's an awful to get fighting chips. I also thought it was really close. I would have folded 83o and I would have folded if it had been opened earlier or 3b by a reasonable player. Also the fact that the blinds could go up before the next lap felt important

Like I had slightly too many chips to go allin with any two heads up, but I was ready for allin with almost any two live-ish cards for a 3x+ since it would be almost impossible to get that many chips without have to win 3 double ups later.

I think the 84 is an easy fold there fwiw. It's just such a bad hand. And you can wait a whole round after folding small blind. Getting to open raise is always gonna be way better

Thanks, I busted pretty quickly, shipped from the BB heads up with JTs on a KQ8r board, I had M=5, he hesitated for a bit before calling with AK, lol.

I'm planning on spending a lot of this summer riding my 29er, if you interested in riding Marshall Mesa/Doughty Draw let me know, can leave right from my house. I hope to have White Ranch fitness in a month or so.

Yeah but open raise seems like a generous way to phrase it when we have less than a full raise

You don't go from 500 to 50k to mincash. That's a bracelet story imo.

Yeah but have you asked eveeybody left if they'd gotten under 400?

We come down coal creek to rock creek and then do Mayhoffer Singletree to Doughy on the cross bikes fairly often. Would be happy to meet up. It makes about a 50 mile loop from here.

+1. ZOMG needs a chip and a chair story.
06-13-2017 , 10:32 PM
Like I'm going to listen to someone without a bracelet tell me what my bracelet story needs.

How about two of us? Still, harsh but fair.

I kept looking for you while at the Bellagio over the weekend. Was bummed not to run across you to say "hi". Then I could have told the forum what a nice person and great human being you are. Maybe next year.

Good luck with that, he is neither of those things and never plays live cash during the series anymore.

Now I'm starting to worry that I may be the one who is dying

I think the only day I played last week was the 80 on Friday

I was worried about that too when I saw you yesterday.

Nope, just more discerning. They have to be genuinely hot to get my attention, not just have their boobs and ass hanging out. I don't want to burst your bubble but most summer Vegas chicks are the latter rather than the former.

Paul Valente on a rush, leads the $1500 limit event at the dinner break with 38 to go. Gogogogogogogo.

Sadly no, they ****ed up the reports. I only have 40k. I'm waiting til tomorrow to gain the chip lead 2017! NC/LC THREAD! let us gogogogo

PV winning a bracelet? Nothing would make me happier. Go PV.

Also, I get it all in with 8-4 with a chance to triple. No way I'm blinding off.

Congrats to DD on the 5th place. I know you wanted more, but that is an impressive finish in that mixed game. Congrats.
06-14-2017 , 02:09 AM
Good luck PV, DD, et all Vegas hounds.
06-14-2017 , 08:25 PM
Do we know anyone who made the final table?
06-15-2017 , 12:37 PM
I miss pokerbob telling us who wasnt allowed to win.

06-15-2017 , 03:43 PM
Here's a random question. Anyone know why there's no play money O8 on pokerstars?
06-15-2017 , 03:59 PM
Everyone's play solid.
