Starts tomorrow, and looks like there will be a ton of BBPers in it.

I am starting at Pavilion White, table #108, seat #6.

Good luck everyone!

Good luck to all BBPers, go for an all BBP final table!

If the Mizrachi brothers can do it, then why can't we?

Good Luck Scott and all the other BBPers.

Playing very well today. Definitely finding my groove now that I've been in town a few days and am completely adjusted to the lifestyle.

Been at three different tables so far, but now I'm at table #2, so I'll be there until we redraw for new seating assignments at the end of the night.

2,341 players started. I would guess ~ 725 remain. I have 15,675 chips, which should be a little above average. I'm managing my stack nicely like I like to, but I did get off to a rough start in level 1. Check out my starting chip stack size at the beginning of each level.

1 = 4,500
2 = 2,100
3 = 5,425
4 = 7,650
5 = 9,675
6 = 11,150
7 = 15,675

I've been trusting my instincts and following them without question. If I think someone will fold, I move my chips in. Here was one fun hand like that, which will also give you a taste of how aggressive some of these guys play...

We were ten-handed in level 5, with blinds/antes of 100/200 (50). I raised to 525 from the cutoff with:



Only the big blind called, and we both had ~ 7,000 chips. The flop came:



He checked, I bet 525 and he called. The turn came:



He checked, I bet 1,125, he check-raised to 2,300 and I decided that he couldn't have a flush or straight, and my line would be believeable as a flush. So I shoved and he folded.

We'll play another four levels tonight. I would estimate that 88% of the field will be gone by then, putting us right on the money bubble when we start tomorrow.

Wow Scott. Knowing what little I do about your play, that's VERY unlike you. Must have been one heck of a read!
