cartman: back in the $$$ in the PokerStars $10+1 10 minute blinds

[cartman]

After a couple of weeks of catching some bad beats, I'm once again in the money. We are at the second break, and there are 49 of us left out of 776. I'm currently in 26th chipwise, and will be on the button after the break. Barring any table moves, I won't be forced to make a play for a while, hopefully whittling out the field anymore.

For the regular members of the peanut gallery, the tourney ID is 6885710, and I'm on table 96.

edit to show correct chip position

[cartman]

woot! back to back monster hands, now I'm chip leader! Moved to table 18

[GoldenEagle]

I know I don't need to watch, but what the hell.

[cartman]

misread a steal attempt. But still in 3rd place chip-wise with 39 left

[cartman]

moved to table 15

[cartman]

got back some chips with a large raise while holding AA

[cartman]

I think there is a tonf of bluffing going on from some players. If not, they are wasted good cards. It seems everyone wants to go all in.

Yep, the ginormous blinds are starting to force the hand (pun intended :D ) of the short stacks

[cartman]

I wish I had a halfway decent hand to make a move with. Lately it's been 84o, 73o, etc.

[SirFozzie]

at this point, people start realizing the jumps in money with each elimination. They are mostly stealing, knowing everybody freezes up.

One steal pays for a full round (9 or so) hands. You can understand the motivation.

[cartman]

moved to the other table, 55

[cartman]

I'm not playing tight, I'm just not getting ANYTHING to even try to make a stab

[cartman]

jeebus, 53o in the big blind :(

[cartman]

63o in the small blind :(

[cartman]

72o on the button :(

[cartman]

here we go

[cartman]

woot! Tripled up!

[SirFozzie]

Damnit. Hand history (for those of us at work) NOW!

[cartman]

went all in with AJo, and got two Aces on the board

[cartman]

final table

[SirFozzie]

How much are you guaranteed now Cartman? $7,760 is a nice pool :D

[RPI-Fan]

Respect his authoriTAH!!!

[cartman]

I like the fact I'm now on the button. With the cards I've been getting, hopefully it will thin out

[cartman]

At least $271 now

[cartman]

YES!!!! Doubled up with 99 against AA

[cartman]

those were a couple of good hands for me

[GoldenEagle]

uh, wow

[Barkeep49]

What a nice flop!

[TLK]

[cartman]

jeebus the blinds are getting huge

[paperstreetsoap]

u beast

[cartman]

at least $535 coming my way

[JeeberD]

I like silkman cause he has a kitten avatar... :)

[cartman]

cool, at least 3rd. Gonna need a couple of great hands after this break to have a chance though.

[Mr. Sparkle]

Fin Fan just chilled his way to 5th haha

[Barkeep49]

They're dropping like flies now... hope you can get out of short stack.

[Barkeep49]

wow four of a kind aces

[cartman]

I reread Dan Harrington's book on tournament play last night, so I guess I need to PayPal him some of the winnings...

:D

[cartman]

and a 64o to start

[cartman]

not bad, got out of there with a little over $700 on a $10 buy in

[cartman]

Congrats cartman... nice run...

thanks! That's twice now I've finished 3rd in one of these. Gonna win one eventually!

[TLK]

Congrats cartman... nice run...

[CleBrownsfan]
