I do, a deep run and 1/5 of a min cash, natural progression is a final table. That 1/5 of a min cash is funny stuff. Idk why the guys with 5k left in chips would fold, I figure they would wait for some guy to shove w 77.

Good luck tomorrow Scott!

Today was the kind of day that really tests us as poker players.

We were five-handed to start, since everyone hadn't arrived yet. I raised from the button on the very first hand with A-9o and the big blind called. Flop came A-J-3 rainbow. He checked, I bet and he called. Turn was an 8. We both checked. River was a 7. He checked and I value bet. He took a while, and reluctantly called with A-10. So I was already down to 3,500 chips.

A while later, the player on my right had shown that he was a maniac. I wanted to play a pot with him. With blinds of 25/50 he raised to 325. This sort of thing was normal for him. I intended to call with K-Q suited, and I put in two chips - a 500 and a 25. This of course turned out to be an accidental and unintentional re-raise, and he shoved. Now I was under 3,000 chips.

Over the next two hours I had four pocket pairs, and lost with every one of them. Now I was down to 1,050 chips and only had ten big blinds. I shoved several times and managed to get back up to 3,000 chips.

With 20 BB I raised with pocket tens (my fifth pair of the day) and got re-raised. I shoved and lost to pocket jacks. Overall I had five pocket pairs and lost with them all.

I only lasted two and a half levels today. Sorry folks.

Everyone runs a littler -ev once in a while.. You have played very well my friend.. Keep it up..

I vote you play less $1500 and more $3k or similar...

No problem at all. Sometimes tournaments just don't go your way. On to the next one.
