Out FFS!

Shoved Q-Q over a UTG PFR for 11BBs, got called by A-Qo, hits an Ace straight off.

Was up against that whole tournie, miracle I survived as long as I did.

Came 4th / 80 something in a $20 freeze for $160.

Down to the final 205 runners after day 5 of the main event. Here are the remaining notables:

Good god that would make good final table viewing....its looking good for two or three stars to make it!

Wait, Jamie Brown? is that the Warwick guy? Also, Chan? If he could win that would be amazing!

Yeah he left the year I started so I don't know him personally but lots of people do so I check for his name. Pretty sick. He did very well last year too.

FOR FFS. Getting tons of bad beats at the moment but this takes the cake.

Playing $30 Freezeout on ipoker, JJ in the cut off, I make a good raise and get three callers. Flop comes 4JK. Flop checks around to me, the pot is 2800, I have 4.2k behind. I bet half pot (1400) with the intention of shipping on the turn, but instead I'm raised enough to put me all in. One other player calls this raise and obv I do as well. Turn is a 4 so I fill up and pot is big enough to catapult the winner into the chips lead. The raiser guy checks and the caller bets like half pot again. Raiser folds and the other guy flips over 44 for quads and the chip lead.

COOL!

I see your sitting nicely in that 2.5k tourney!

Does Ipoker ever reach it's GTD ?!

Playing the nightly 90 grand on stars. And on Full Tilt the $69 6max about 10 places away from the bubble.

I played a couple of MTTs but nothing went my way. I got knocked out of the first tournament by getting it all in on the turn with top set vs AA but he hits one of his two outs on the river.
In the second tourney I'm 2nd in chips at our table for most of the tournament so not doing too badly. Then I get it in on flop with a set of jacks v QQ but he runner runners a straight. The very next hand I have AK and shove my remaining chips but the same guy who had QQ now has AA to knock me out.

Crap just got moved from my soft table in the FT 6max to one where all the chips are.

Aaron has made the final 4 in the $30 Freezeout on ipoker, come rail! Username is forestarm.

Final table on the Full Tilt one. Who is ambushand?

Gay finished in 6th. Would have quite like the $5500.

Edit: My 3betting shorthanded I may have to look at.

N1. What you think you 3bet bad?
