Congrats to Matt and Vinny as well. Played with them on day 2 for a while and have played cash with Matt also, both good players and deserving of their finishes.

But a live player would know to snapfold when someone takes a long time and then raises in an obvious squeeze spot.

haha well played TT ;p..... i wasn't really trying to knock live players, but it def. came off that way. I meant that, im pretty sure he only plays live and for the most part just cash games. I thought it was impressive that a player that is not used to being in shallow stack (cash standards) situations could hold his own against online "superstars" sloppyklod and rcrane

Congrats Russ.... i'm sure u stacked up nicely on that table we were at??? I was so angry to leave that table, sooooooooooo many weak spots w/ deep stacks!!!

whats going on dave, it seemed like u were playing pretty aggressive, i missed the one pot where u doubled though at the end of one of the levels, i heard a little about it, but u can tell me the hand if u want my input, what did u have the one hand where i had 89 top pair?

I was gunna play this but had this huge project for 1/3 my total grade that was due this week, so I had to stay home and work on it.

Tbh, I've taken most of this year off (ironic considering how long I waited to turn 21). I actually have only been to AC once all year (the 5k at Borgata in June). Kinda hoping to start playing a little bit more again in 2009 but for now I'm trying to focus on some other things before coming back to poker.

I was wondering about the j9 hand that crippled me vs klod and vinny. I had 1.45m klod 950k vinny covers blinds 25k 50k 5k ante. klod opens for 125 utg, vinny flats behind, i call with j9h from bb. flop 993r checked around. turn 5 i lead for 275 klod calls. river 2 i shove klod snap calls with 55. Seems like a cooler to me, just wondering if you ever lead the flop or take a different line for reasons I didnt consider.
