  1. @JoeSpeaker: only 3 tables left to eliminate. I will think no less of you if you don't bust every single other player.
  2. RT @wilw: Q: What is Wheaton's Law? A: "Don't be a dick!" (ed. note: this is colloquially known as the Prime Dickrective.)
  3. @JoeSpeaker @ShaneNickerson: I think properly that would be Team Douchebag, and yes. I wanted Shane+ an LA Douchebag To Be Named Later, so.
  4. So, that'll be it for updates from today's 6-max event. (Seriously, that's a cold deck in full ring. In 6-max? Screw that.)
  5. Cold-deck. Flop set vs top two, top two boats on turn.
  6. I lose second match after over an hour. Blew a big chip lead with some mild cold decks (2pr vs straight, TP vs 2pr, etc.).
  7. Dear guy I'm waiting to play a second-chance match with: you're killing my chance of getting into the next tourney if I bust from this one.
  8. I thought I'd shipped it as a slight dog there. Turns out I had a 52-48 edge. Got it in good!
  9. Lost second match. Two pair lost to rivered straight draw, overcards + flush draw + straight draw lost to flopped wheel. 2nd chance soon.
  10. Won first match. Pretty grueling. Had him all-in once with an edge, he caught on river, got him all-in again, he had edge, I outflopped him.
  11. Names you do NOT want to hear called during the seat draw of your HU event: part one, Gavin Griffen.
  12. Heads-up NLHE today. One game per match (boo!), double elimination (yay!), $545 buyin, limited to 64 players. So, minimum of six matches.
  13. @SavagePoker: How many signed up so far for today's HU event?
  14. Anyway. Out in 34th, 18 paid. Not bad considering second-biggest pot I won all day was with king-high.
  15. Things were looking pretty good there until the guy who tanked forever (and then called my JJ with 55) runner-runnered a wheel.
  16. Third of the field is gone already. Only 129 players - fewer than in the HORSE!
  17. T3225 at first break. One big pot early, card-dead and missed flops since. Third of the field gone already.
  18. $335 NLHE today. Smallish field, maybe 150 players? $2k main event seat added for first place.
  19. @AlCantHang No surprise, he had like 1/3 chips in play 9-handed and competition was dwindling.
  20. Out in 8th. No cards today, no steal chances during Stud rounds at final table, antes killed me until I took a stand with 8QQ, lost to AA5
