Posted by demodawggy: Ouch.....biggest number of entrants yet...! The one I'm in now has 1442 entrants and 135 places paid!
The ol' prize pool is spread pretty thin,...but at this point I'll take anything I can get....
Long way to go in 5 days to knock out Merlin the Magician....
WATCH OUT!!!
As long as it doesn't get on the level of Pokerstars where there's 3000-6000 people I'll keep playing these. If it get's to that point I'll stop trying and caring like I have over there.
Posted by demodawggy: Ooooooooooooh.......! Tight race at the top of the board between Merlin and kokoc! Only .31 points separate the 2... With only a few days to go,....it'll be exciting to watch the fireworks fly..., but better watch out for that Sale or marqiss,....either are fully capable of coming up the middle and de-throning somebody...
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but catching up $10 in a few days, seems nigh impossible. I would be so happy if I manage to keep my 4th place though! Not exactly sure how I got there, since I'm only able to play about half of them, and mostly playing while being half asleep on the couch, literally closing my eyes between hands...

Spending a little too much time at the Coffee Shops are we...?
Hehehe... Nothing like that, it's just staying up until 3 AM and then getting up at 7 AM. Although, technically, I can really claim it's "staying up", can I... It seems to work for me though, I have no trouble waking up (don't even set an alarm or anything), and I feel fine during the day...

Ya teddy,.....it's turning into PokerStars a little bit....
Got hammered out of 3 tourneys so far today by idiots playing junk against my quality hands... Not that they knew what I had in my pocket,...just f'ing bingo queens that lucked out with crap.
It gets pretty discouraging if you get too much of it...
You know that some of them are morons playing junk,...so you have the patience to wait for good cards,...and they get you anyway.... Very frustrating...

If I could KICK myself in the A$$ today,...I would....
TWICE today I set myself up to get knocked out JUST before the bubble.... Sit there and play for 2 hours,...and RIGHT when it counts..... BAM.....OUT
I thought I learned my lesson about shoving as you approach the bubble. I've told myself before that I won't do that anymore,...but OH NO....
The first was about 12 or 15 from the bubble... I had about 7,000 in chips,...enough to go fairly deep. Got AA and shove..... BAM....some BIG STACK calls with JUNK...... GONE!!! I'm PI$$ED getting bounced with JUNK!!!
I'm swearing at myself for 2 hours after.... and repeat DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!
The second one.... So I'm about 20 from the bubble with about 6,500 in chips,....I get KK. So then I'm picturing myself at the final table...BUT I say to myself...."DON'T YOU DARE FCUKHEAD".... THEN.....what do I do...?
Shove...........Big Stack buddy has A Q of hearts..... Buddy gets his A on the flop....
I never mind losing a big or important or risky hand, as long as the opponent plays a good hand well, like the second guy... But the FIRST guy playing JUNK really burns my A$$!!!
Well,....now I'm hoping to stay in the 11 - 20 range on the leaderboard for at least a $30 win when it ends Sunday......
...unless I get lucky and shoot up a wee bit higher,...but it may be a struggle to stay where I said I'd like to...
