[Assani Fisher]

Playing in the Stars $162 MTT now.

SOB, just missed it. When did they move it back to 9pm from 9:10?

No clue, but I also noticed that its labeled now as the "nightly" $150 MTT.

Wow, entering this tournament was a huge mistake. I got up at 6AM to drive 4 hours home for Thanksgiving today, and I'm dead tired now....havn't gotten any hands and practically falling asleep. Only have 1200 chips left(out of 2000) and the blinds already 50/100 though, so I should be able to go to sleep soon enough. I'm gonna be really pissed if I last a few hours and then bubble out.

 

[Assani Fisher]

guess I'll be up a little while longer...

His fault. He should have reraised preflop.

I like the way you think, Fred.

 

[bostonfred]

Wow, hand for hand already. Good luck.

 

[Assani Fisher]

In the money now!!

90 people left. win at least $235 and it doesn't go up until theres 60 people left to $294. So no more stalling or survival tactics from me...time to just push and hope to steal some blinds and/or get lucky. I've only got 4000 with blinds of 300/600 and a 30 ante.

 

[bostonfred]

Nice double up there. Ballsy with K5o

What a freefall for Huma.

 

[bostonfred]

New table = 47 if anyone else is watching.

Edit to add: sucks to get moved under the gun.

Edit again to add: unless you have two passive small stacks to your right and it walks to your BB

 

[Assani Fisher]

Nice double up there. Ballsy with K5o

the other guy was really over aggressive and bad...even on the bubble he was making some ridiculously risky plays. I figured that he'd bet no matter what, and even though the shortstack limp on the button did confuse me a bit I thought it was the optimal play.

 

[bostonfred]

New table 34. At least you moved to the effective button. Down to 72 players. Next prize level is 60.

 

[mr. fruley]

Sweating now. Gl.

 

[Eli2Shockey]

 

[Assani Fisher]

damn...so far everytime I've had a hand that I've wanted to push with preflop, someone else has raised first. Down to under 7000 now.

I was going to ask if the hesitation was real or if it was planned. I think I'm going to do that hesitation-then-fold move in tournaments more often - it sure looks like you're playing tight right now.

 

[bostonfred]

Ouch

[Assani Fisher]

Still alive in a $3 rebuy tourney. Entry fee was low, but they had so many people and so many rebuys that first prize is over $5K. Less than 300 people left in it.

 

[Assani Fisher]

Close to 3000 people started in this rebuy tourney....we're down to under 70 now.

Man I miss playing online. Gave it up once the legislation talk started. Is there any way to get money into the big sites if you dont have money there already?

It was insanely hard for me to get money on Stars, but the majority of people will still have few problems using netteller to fund their stars accounts.

 

[Assani Fisher]

damn...out in 20th..pushed with 55, called by AK, he won.

 

[diesel7982]

Im playing in the MBA WSOP events in January in Vegas, might try playing in the Main Event and some of the smaller Omaha events in July. Hopefully will see you there; its looking like youll eventually have to either give up the game or move to Vegas to keep playing.

[TheGooRoo]

Fellas, I need comforting immediately...the old DONT CASH OUT or you will lose theory...playing at Doyle's, cash out $1500 on Sunday. I lose $800 on Monday, 1 pocket ace hand and 2 pocket queen hands...today I lose $900 on BACK TO BACK AA hands. Playing $3/6, raised to $36 pre flop on the AA hands and $24 on the QQ hands...I lost 5 consecutive hands of QQ or greater, in consecutive days after cashing out. Seriously, WTF.

 

[Assani Fisher]

Both BostonFred and I are playing in the Stars Million today.

I haven't had any trouble moving money in and out of Stars.

Quick update:

-Got off to a bad start bluffing my way down to 8000(from 10,000)

-Doubled up when I hit a set of 8s on a board of 28J rainbow and a guy bluffed all in with KT

-Slowly worked my way up to 24K

-Went absolutely card dead and blinds began to rise really quickly.

Finally got this hand:

whew....You don't really think of hands like these when you think of "luck" in a tournament but theres just as much luck in him not having a hand here as there is in winning a coin flip imo...

[Assani Fisher]

alright...gonna stall my way into the money and then make a run at this thing! We're down to 1030 players...will only take a minute or two before we're at 975 and in the money.

 

[Schmegma]

GL Assani.

 

[Hoh]

Man, I missed this thread.

GL dude.

ETA, you too fred.

 

[Assani Fisher]

alright we're in the money now. But the blinds just went up to 2400/4800 with a 240 ante, so my stack of 39K isn't looking too good.

 

[flapgreen]

nice bet

 

[Assani Fisher]

nice bet

KK...wanted a call. Thought that only raising 3xBB after there was a limper would offer attractive pot odds, but I guess he saw through it. Pretty crazy to call 4800 and then fold for just 9600 more, but I guess he could've seen what I was trying to do. Definitely less risky for me to just push there but you need to get paid off on big hands imo to win a tourney. Plus I make a lot of small raises with trash hands, so I don't mind people folding to them really. Take a look at my AT hand posted above for an example. I find that its much lower risk to play smallball like that instead of pushing all in like a lot of people choose to do late in a tourney.

 

[Assani Fisher]

2nd prize level now...at least $397.

750 players left, next prize jump is at 600.

 

[Assani Fisher]

bad time to go card dead....damn, I really needed action on that KK hand. In too early of position to shove with crap now, but after blinds pass me I'll be at like 20K which might not even give me fold equity.
